simo use that function instead trust me on this

im on several trance producer sites and they use that function, and works perfectly
.
basicly someone puts up a thread that is helpful. you click Thanks (then under the thread a list of peoples names come up to say who has thanked so so for posting up the thread. then on the Left<<<<<<<< there is a say.. simo has been thanked 10x1 in this thread by users!
its a good system and still shows who are helpful as there been thanked for there input to the community!
I have always said the rep system was a bit of a waste, its green blobs on a screen big whoopy doo..as I have said before if users are so consumed by the fact they must earn more rep then I pitty your
real social lifes as it proves one thing and only one, you find it more important to be respected on a site which is in the virtual world, but not in real life. you dont earn green blobs in an office if you make your boss a cup of coffee. you earn browny points for all your doing is usally ass kissing and your boss fully knows what your doing
.
to new members who dont know of people like Pred for his hard work in this community id suggest members as such as him should have under there name (audio/electronics specialist) something like that at least new members will know ahhh pred is the one who knows about the audio side of things il contact him! or make a pm function specifily for people such as him..
I.E you click contact pred then go to his profile page, you then on a scroll down screen state your intentions of contact (audio,graphics,friendly banter etc etc) you select audio but you then leave him a message that talks about ''oh how last night was great''! and due to the message does not replate to the reason of contact it automaticly gets deleted! in other words its stops people spamming Pm inboxes,im sure you Simo get plenty of messages that you know any other member could easily resolve. this kind of function would stop all this! but I aint got a clue if this function has even been invented yet LOLS.
and for the spamming side of things.
open upa new section on the forum perposly produced for banter...not the genreal descussion section I mean one for pure banter... then set the settings on that section of the forum to once a week delete all content and indexes......... that way that section will never be the same each week and no matter what crap gets posted in there it will be removed after one week
. and before people are allowed ot post in that section they have to sign an agreement that states they must under no reason post XXX,slanderus,racist material.if done so INSTANT LIFE BAN!..its harsh but to put the message across you have to do things right and show your authority!
dam I could do a better job then gordon brown LOLS
thats my 2 cent
