perhaps you and i could do a little consultation about these problems.

the first thing that needs to happen is that we need to devise a script that implements a quarantine for new users.

we just need a list of users that are NOT in quarantine status, ok? and then we need a standard userscript that operates on your pc (m7's) that does a couple of things:

1) allow quarantined users to post in lets say /s/newusers

2) quarantined users that try to post in any other sub get their post automatically hidden.

3) non-quarantined users would make it a habit to frequently read the posts in the new users sub, and then when you are confident that they are not abusive users, then add them to the not quarantined list.

that should eliminate 99.99% of the problem.

let me know if i can be of assistance.

update: wanna hear my great idea about how to manage the quarantine list?

okay, i will explain it then, since you have insisted..

we make a forum called /s/qlist or whatever...

and then we have the ability to "restrict submissions" to that sub.. and we have the ability to add moderators to that sub..

lets say that we create a thread in that sub (/s/qlist) and somehow we devise a system where the moderators can just add a name to that thread then you are out of quarantine..

something like that, right?

i say fuck these trouble maker bitches, lets nip this shit in the bud..

lets get bizzy.

So create a whitelist? It's not a terrible idea but it really limits new users, which would keep the site from growing. I kind of do like the idea of a quarantined space for new users, a testing ground, but who then gets to decide if they're "real" enough to get out of this quarantined space? And don't you think the trolls will play nice for a bit in order to get around this restriction?

who gets to decide? can you honestly say that you cant make a list of your current users that you think highly enough of that they are able to tell if someone is a spammer or a trouble maker? i could make that list in about two minutes..

dont i think that trolls will behave until they get unquarantined? i am going to say this with respect that i dont think that you really appreciate the value of a think tank.. A think tank, at the most basic level, is a group of people that discuss things and they all share the common goal of seeking success for the think tank. thats not a bad description of a think tank, coming from an eighth grade dropout, is it?

keep in mind that my system of quarantining needs to be put before the think tank and that my description of the quarantining system was just a rough draft, the final quarantining system would be a finely tuned system that would be fully and properly defined by the think tank.

users that register here and are quarantined would appreciate that you must earn your privilege to post here.

users that behave well during quarantine could always be put back into quarantine.

with all respect, mr magnora7, you have done a fine job of getting this forum running, but you dont trust any of your users, do you?
