Snoopy1966 Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 5 day suspension just handed out for this violation. Keep it up all and you will see chat go bye bye. It is not worth this if some members can not freakin grow up and use their common sense...obviously I guess they do not have any.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpw36 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 snoop is that the one i turned in i think we need harsher punishments or is there a way you can do some sort of filter that blanks out the words or replaces them with symbols?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it went from 3 days and now 5 days will be handed from now on, and I do not think a filter would help, people would be typing in the words then...to see them get blanked out.

This stuff really is getting very very old. It is such a great tool to have so members can help others, to bad there has to be so many that may just ruin it for us all or even as Mush has stated, it might just make it be the closure of Hookah Forums because the jail house lawyers are on top of all this stuff.

Johnny_D Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 We could make it so that only those with +xx posts can use chat. But we need Admin todo it (read : not mushrat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezter6 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 that was my suggestion in the premium subforum thread. I think having a min post number (or if possible - premium should overrule post count) would ensure that people in chat are those that WANT to be part of the community. people who come in and don't just chat away without ever reading the rules or learning the standard code of conduct that you learn in your first 50-100 posts.Sure, for many people they 'get it' in under 50, but at least we can weed out the chat spammers and the fly by night kids who sign up, put a few lame "+1" style posts and then crap all over chat.

r1v3th3ad Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I like the idea of premium or a member for so long...a certain number of posts is meaningless with some people being post whore *cough**cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezter6 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 The minimum posts at least keeps all but the biggest post whores out of chat the first week or two they are on the forum - which should give them time to understand the 'culture' of this place and get to know the rules a little better.

Many of you chat junkies can most likely testify, that I spend more time in chat than I do in the forums. It's primarily how I contribute. I do suppose though, if some rules were put in place, it would encourage me to be more of a contributor on the forums (and there's nothing wrong with that.)So either way, it's probably a win/win situation.

jezter6 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I think encouraging you to become more of a forum contributor is a good thing - but again you've been here longer than I, so you may have passed the "length of membership" limit. As for steve - get posting dude! Forums don't grow when everyone sits on chat and never posts. Forums become communities when active membership contributes to the forums to help each other.
