</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE (Grey_wolf @ Jan 27 2004, 10:59 AM)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'> Well hello.. its time to make the suggestion some ppl have been waiting for.

First i want to say that i dont want anyone to feel offended by this topic. And if you do.. PM me about it and we discuss it.

Also sorry for my english.. it aint perfect but i hope you understand me.

So ok.. here we go.

In the past week i created a topic about the stupid polls in the "Naruto anime" section. Well some ppl were with me and some was not. It got locked and the mods say that i was bitching and nothing could be done.. since its still naruto related. Well ok... i gave it up.. later another guy posted another topic about the rules and the stupid polls. Well it was going good.. till suddenly it was no more.. i couldnt find it.. neither the post creator could. It was simply deleted.. without a word or pm it was just.. gone.

So .. here i am once <u>again</u> trying to make a solution to make it fair.

Now my suggestion is to make a new rule.. the rule is a very normal rule. Almost every forum got this rule. I cant see why this forum shouldnt have it..
the rule is :

"Do not create a topic/poll if you havnt search for it first. Sombody may aldready created it in the past. Then you can bring that topic/poll back to life.. Instead of making a new one."

here are some examples:

</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>Hey, I was wondering if anybody here knows what the ending theme song to season 3 or 4 was? It's the ending song starting from episode 65.
If you know, do you also know where i might be able to get it?
</td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>

This question had been discussed many many times before.. yet another one posted the same question again.

One guy answered:

</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>
It has been discussed in 10 topics now. I have no clue where to download it. but use the search there are one of the threads I think that has many posts it might be there. </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>

Next: It had been discussed that naruto 68 would not come this week. Well.. yet some person who hasnt search post this topic:

</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>
Have anyone Heared that episode 68 of Naruto is not coming out Next week. I think this sucks i need naruto to live LOl. Does anyone know why its not coming out Next week. Does any feel like i feel
(this had been discussed several times before)
</td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>

Then some day after.. this shows up:

</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>
I know we are not supposed to ask about eps but i have to know. Whats with ep 68? isnt it coming out this week? why isnt there a sub yet?
</td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>

It was in the same page got damn it! search before posting!.

we have all seen the repetitiv polls "Who is the cutest?" "Who is the hotest?" "What move is best?" "What move would you like to have?"

And then their is the stupid polls

"Should sakura have bigger breast?"
"Why dont they have cars?"
"Is naruto for kidds?!"

ect..ect..
well i cant do anything about that. But at least make it fair and create the new rule.. Search before posting!.. it would make everything much better.

so what do you say?
(Now discuss it.. and dont delete it like cowards..) </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
There is no Samurai-ninja-rodent-ANBU that can squash me, ?igma II is onnnnn and he's waiting for more. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce2.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce2.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce2.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce2.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce2.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce2.gif
wil there be a third part?, stay tuned, or go watch Rocky IV and find out what happens next!!

http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif I'm so hidden, you cant see me http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif

Now to the ontopic:

First off all, my account was suspended, I was on parole actually , could log in ,couldnt post.

Since I'm ?igma, nobody gets me MUHUA

okok , really ontopic:

GREAT idea, as stated before, the ways that are now, are pure crap.
There has to be some kind of rule to enforce more welloverthought posting. As admins and mods, that is your duty.

First warn a person about the rules, if he doesnt quit, boot his ass, and watch the sequal..hope not.

Instead, you let the total destruction of the most beautifull forum on this Naruto planet go, as if nothing is happening.
EVEN IF someone wants to make a joke, do it in some other topic instead of creating his own.

I just noticed this seemingly selfconvinced idea some of the admins//mods have here and I tell you, its misplaced, ur wrong, you'r not here to let all topics be what they are, you are here to bring order.

This I know from my past as Mod on some Dutch forums. And as being experienced in that, the only ones ive seen doing good are rock lee and krbadass. Rock Lee for getting angry with me and krbadass for his opinions in the topics itself.

Why rock lee?, because ofcourse he has a point when he says that its stupid I start screaming and yelling in a topic, but the fact is, people notice. The discussion has to be made.
No more seeing it through. ACT
You CAN act, why dont you go do it on people that break (yes alot!! of them ) the rules for real?

This is PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/cool.gif
But what about this? One time I was trying to search for a topic and the search engine did an error and the OS crashed, TWICE!!!!!! http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/dry.gif
So I think few warnings are in order and then something that will shut them up.
(Like a pm from Krbadass. omg that's so scary (!!REALLY!!))

Now if we just could rid the world of stupid people... http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/laugh.gif
I don't think you have to ban people who make stupid polls or topics.
Nor do I think it should be forbidden to make stupid threads. These are open forums. If the thread is related to the topic (Naruto anime, for example) one should be free to make stupid threads.
I mean those topics are the driving force of Naruto forum. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/laugh.gif

I'll write more some time, have to go to bed.

I have no objection to this what so ever and neither will the other mods (i believe). However i can tell you right now that most of our forum users don't even bother to look at the rules thread let alone read the rules within. I don't think it'll have much an affect but its worth at least posting it there. I'll update it later today.

Yay! http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Well i know.. thats why the rules must become stricter. I know a forum... swedish one (www.divxsweden.net) their forum first was chatoic. Then they stareted to be real strict.. and gave warnings as fast as they saw someone broke a rule. Now its a perfect forum.. nobody breaks the rules anymore. Now how would that be for you mods?.. half dream? http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/laugh.gif

Well you can make it happen. As fast as sombody double post (or break any other rules).. give him an warning (if the person is first-timer then you could let him go..) but my suggestion is <u>be strict</u>

Thanks for your time.

Actually, as far as I know, it's been a rule for quite a while not to post repeat topics and polls. You apparently didn't read the rules before you posted this, huh?
(6. Do not create repeat threads, check and see if you thread already exists before you create a new one.)

As for the idiots who DO create double topics and/or polls, here's my method of dealing with them (other mods are different). I check the first 3-5 pages of a forum section to see if the doubles are in there.. if there aren't any, then I let them go ahead and have their fun. If there are, I link them to the most recent topic/poll and close their thread, telling them to take it there (I actually did that in the fanart section today).

The stupid polls.. well, they may be stupid polls to you and another 50-100 users.. but for some others, it could just be a way to goof off. As long as it doesn't deal with things that may be racially/religously/etc. offensive, then it's all good.

And while we do ask, nicely, that users post COHERENTLY... it's understood that we get a lot of people from all over the world, so we are lenient. Sometimes people don't think well before they post.. and this may lead to posts that ramble on, or even double posting. However, if we edit their ramblings, or even some posts that contain excessive amounts of cursing, they get upset and complain.. so in the end, if it's not offensive and generating complaints, we let it go and just ignore it.

When we see people breaking the rules, it's generally common knowledge that we PM them informing them of their transgression, and asking them to fix it (Double posts/Excessive Sig Size/etc.), but for things that are like major spoilers, or offensive, in other words, things that people complain to us about, we go and fix it up right away, still PMing them for what they did. If they haven't learned their lesson, they get a warning, and depending on the problem, maybe a small ban.

And if someone does want to make a joke, and there are not any topics that deal with that joke that the person can see, he may just as well create his own topic. It's fair.

and, ?igma II Fighting for salvation, when you become the head admin of Gotwoot forums, I'll let you tell me how to treat topics. Of course I'm also kinda ticked off at you atm because you picked out Rock Lee and Krbadass, calling them the best mods, especially when you haven't even hardly seen any of the others, as far as I know. They are good mods though. They do their work and get the job done, which is all we can ask of them. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif However, before you insinuate that no other mod/admin is doing his/her job.. Stick around for a while first and find out who the other admin/mods ARE and SEE what they do.

Anyway, I've got a hungry son to attend to. Maybe my mood'll get better.

To those who double post? I send them a PM. To those who create a duplicate topic, I give them the link, close the topic, and depending on whether or not I think it might turn into an issue or not, I PM that person. Normally I don't, however, because I explain that it's a douple topic in the post when I close it. Usually it's just an innocent mistake by some newb who's only been around for a couple weeks.

errr

ok

for the Naruto forum anyways,
however much you may stick to those rules, im absolutely sure, that the first 20 topics are violations of the rules. Not only are they double posting and using Engrish , they also have full topics in swedish or whatever AND topics are made in such rapid succession.

There was even one guy who managed to make 7 polls about peoples moves.

Okay. Did you do a search for all the first 20 posts? If you found any double posts, are they recent (like, within a couple months)? Did you report the post if it WAS a double post (that's what the report button is for)?

Some people use Engrish. We mostly look past it because not everyone has a perfect mastery of the English language, and even those who do sometimes have their off days and mess up. I explained this in an earlier post. Want to read it now since you didn't read it then?

I agree with the full posts and/or topics that are in full swedish though.. Those annoy me to no end... ¬_¬ I'm going to start sending PMs to some people soon.

And the guy who made the polls about the moves? If it's the one I'm remembering.. they were all individual and unique. A person is allowed to make however many topics/polls they want, so long as they aren't duplicates.

EDIT, oh ok I've seen it, mh , well, ban me I'd say....oh wait...they did hahahaha

EDIT:2:

The rule Grey_wolf wants to add is somewhat different from the current one.
Not because it isnt in there, but because it should be far more strict. Upon checking and closing such a thread, a warning should go out to the creater aswell.

or you could just ban this one too ^^
Quite fun being banned for the second time.

On arstechnica, I actually got it back by using my registration link again http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif
doesnt seem to work here, sigh.

He can't evade it when I ban his IP address and the email addresses he registered with http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/wink.gif

He originally got on parole for insulting Rock Lee and Krbadass.. It was Rock who then -put- him on parole. If he wanted to post again, he should've pmed Rock or someone and asked when it would get over... Instead, he created a new nick.. and another new one after that... and well.. It's kinda obvious how I feel about people evading their punishments.

(btw, I love your sig, it's funny)

Like ?igma III be.. oh whatev you got to many names http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif
id it ok if i just call you ?igma ?

Like ?igma said i want the rule to be more strict. Just giving them a link and then close the topic is to much service for the guy who did the misstake. All he gotta do is to create the topic.. wait for somone to close it and then he got the link without getting punished. PM him and warn him..

?igma, you're just digging yourself in deeper... Don't expect to be able to use Gotwoot for quite a while after this.

And concerning double topics.. You guys said it yourselves. It was a mistake. Most people don't realize it, and don't do it again.

IF people do it again, then they get warned. We're lienent here.. we're not nazis (unless you try to evade your punishment http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/dry.gif )..

and all on all, if they get upset for whatever reason and insult us mods and admins, then they're just inviting more trouble for themselves (like igma).

How is it hard? You go into the forum you wanna go "OMG! <insert topic here>".. think for a second before you do it, especially if its something no one's thought of before, then go to the little box at the bottom that says Search (we make you scroll down to see if there's a similiar post on that same page *coughcough*Episode Releases*coughcough*).. you type in basically what you're thinking about.. well, keywords (OST 2.. sexy..cool..move..jutsu.. etc).. and then hit "go".

That doesn't sound like 100 different options to me...

As for forcing them to read the rules.. No, I don't think there is. Would you have liked to have been forced to read the rules once you joined?

It would be funny if you had to take a quiz to ensure that they have read the rules http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce2.gif

also perhaps then you wouldnt get all these people with 1 post counts, cause it wouldnt be that easy to get in.

http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce.gif quiz quiz quiz http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mf_laughbounce.gif

but for real I have a feeling the mod/admin teams are working on something, even if they arnt they are always helping in some way, you cant just say they suck cause of 1 thing.

One thing:
when a new member comes here and suscribes he should be redirected to the RULES page http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif
would be cool...and he'd have to read em all before he can click on go(like a timer or something)

Not gonna post a rule about dumb polls, sorry http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif

I'll see about bringing up "rules quizzes for new registrars" later.. but I think it's been brought up before and shot down. Usually when a person screws up once, they won't do it again.. and most people don't screw up.

<span style='color:purple'>Edit: Maybe the redirection thing would work though.. hrm....</span>

Yeah, being forced to read the rules is something i approve.
Because that way you can be sure it's read.

Actually I have personally brought up the rules quiz before and it was shoot down.

I would also like to state that anyone who is stupid enough to make a new account because there other one has been banned can expect another ban very quickly.

Now as for stupid poles Grey wolf I'm about -> <- close to sending you on a vacation over this I have spent multiple hours explaining a simple concept to you and this will be the last time.

First off having the SAME thread created over and over and over again is retarded and rather annoying I fully support the rule change for that.

However what is and what is not a appropriate topic is only defined by the rules. A stupid topic to you will go away if people don't reply to it. If people DO reply to a topic it must not be all that stupid as people wish to discuss it. Flaming a topic because you THINK its stupid makes it stick around not go away. So basically in conclusion if a stupid topic sticks around consider it your fault for bitching its stupid in the thread because that makes it a discussion.

I would also like to point out to all of you currently supporting the rules quiz so morons don't make a account and then break rules. Pretty much every person in this thread has warnings for doing EXACTLY what your bitching others do break the rules. Being that most of you have ended up with multiple PM's by a mod for this why don't you instead of bitching they did it and attempting to feel high and mighty instead you could take the time to PM a mod and have us take care of it.

If you feel all the current topics are stupid start a topic that lives upto your standards or try another section. As stated by joker-kun you've both admited you were bitching and I may add you still are and you've admited there is nothing that can be done so without further statements this topic is closed.
