We always need a new user lockdown, but it's never happening. This forum is going to go crazy during November with all the AAA-titles being released for sure Razz

Even I agree about a 1 or 2 post lock down to the newbie area.. an intro would allow us to meet people better but it will also deter all the idiots slightly Razz

Let new users use the seach function first. Save everybody and the mods a bit of work in the long run I think.

Practically all users never do (save for 1 outta 400). Heck, they don't even bother looking three lines down on the same page to see a topic existed even.

That is actually a good thought. Maybe restrict new people to the NFOrce section of the forum (the 4 upmost subforums) for the first 2 days or so, or to be even more harse, new users would have to be registered for 2 days before they could post. Anyway, just tossing out some suggestions for filtering out the scumbags.

Why not two, three simple Q´s at the end of the registration, with checkboxes?

Did you read and understand the forum rules?
Yes [ ] No [ ]

Can you download files from NFOrce?
Yes [ ] No [ ]

If you answer one wrong, your registration is cancelled, and you have to start over again Smile

technically you can. If with files for example you mean the graphic-files that are displayed. Any browser "downloads" huge amounts of "files" just when you re looking at the website. You failed. Give back your VIP-tag now, please Very Happy

that would be like closing your cupboard, because some of your guests might smash a glass in the future...

Stuff like your example is easily dealt with by mods and they usually do a great job. And i dont really mind if i have to see some n00b or attention whore spam the shit out of a forum for the kicks of it now and then. Sometimes it s even fun and you can measure the speediness of the mods by stuff like that. Very Happy
