clicking the

button on bennjamin's post right now..

nah i think, its just noobs who sign up then post straight away some dumb noob question.. I think we should implement a lock on the Terms and Conditions, that will force the "new users" of this forum to read all the terms and conditions before proceeding.. Microsoft does it with a few of their applications from memory...

just a thought lol

yes, and i *know* you all read those licence agreements before clicking on the I AGREE box :rollseyes:

but it is a nice idea _CIVIC_ even if only 20% of the newbies actually do read it...

All that will do is make us moderators feel more justified in our actions lol

Seriously , we do need to have some sort of "Begginners" forum that is only viewable to newcomers for the first couple of visits etc...

But then we inconveniance all those other users who DO do the right thing and can geniuinely help others users.

Also, don't abuse the report post feature and only use it when applicable

overclockers (as i know some of you guys read) has a section for complete noobs. where u can ask any question whatsoever and no one would flame etc...

not suggesting that we do that but it's what they do and it works for them.

but a part of the reason for so much junk in these forums is the fact that some people sign up purely to sell.

so they SPAM SPAM SPAM until they get their +PQ then they go and sell what they need and no one eve hears of them again

nothing inconvenient of your first few visits or time here in the "newcomers : learn the ropes!" section !? I think its a ok idea , relevant to both complete noobs and also pros signing up for the first time alike.

How can you spam to get a PQ point? LOL Spamming won't earn you a PQ point!

Ben we need more info and a plan of action in that case. But I think things have improved a LOT since before.

have you guyz tried searching in awhile....its getting pretty bad cause of all the junk thats already in the system....seriously i try to search for stuff but find myself looking for like 10 pagez of junk to find one good thread...i honestly dont know how that can be fixed but just saying maybe thats y u get some of the noob questions and threads cause they cant find anything

edit: i think this concerns the site...plenty of good stuff...just hard to find i guess

hahah this sounds similar to my thread!
I think that the people who complain here are the ones that are jsut looking for an interesting read. Like teaching a newbie to change a brake light globe isnt the most exciting thing but thats what this forum is about, putting up a question and letting people discuss/answer them. The internet is full of geeks not mechanics

Thats why a propose a Newbie section. somewhere where the dumb questions can be ask and not get flamed. Plus all the people who dont want to see it dont go there.
