It should be part of the sign on process. You should receive all of your rules at the beginning. You should get all of the warning and be told who the Mods are. Told what to look out for.. It should be forced not just made available.

I sincerely think the number of ridiculous posts, as stated above, and redundant questions can be hadled if there were more mods to address the situation..

it would help if it weren't one of those " read the rules before entering"
then : click here if your have read all the rules..
99% of the ppl will completely skip those rules. we gotta think of something.

Trick them then put up a sticky that says something like " read this bulletin to maximize your board enjoyment" or some shit like that.

It shouldn't be any trickery just basic board security. I agree with Diesel above, Mr X can't run this entire board alone. There needs to be a back up contingency. If you want me to be a part of the Board Recommendation Coucil or whatever it is called just ask..

The only way to stop it is to have a rules that you have to read before you can post and then a quiz that you have to take and pass showing you read the rules.

Seriously though, I've been here 6 years. It's ALWAYS been like this. ALWAYS. And it's never going to change. In fact, it will likely get worse. The internet has people getting used to an immediate answer to their questions and then they blow. Especially now with all the "support" discussion boards. "Hey I got a 293hrx and I can't get it sync with my palm. Anyone else have this problems" The 5 guys answer them and they never see that board again. People don't get that this is a community with rules. And just like any other community people have to get to know you before they're going to help you. Especially with a source. Except the scammers of course, they are a newbie's best buddy.

I love this statement:

They go to people with lots of Karma thinking that means they have been here longer or know more about AAS which is not true at all.

This is so true. Before Karma you could pick someone out as knowledgeable by the time here and the number of posts they had. Then came the Chat board where you could run up your post count into the thousands in a couple months by posting "yeah that sucks" 3000 times. So post counts were no good anymore as an indicator of knowledge. Then the Karma came and it looked like a pretty good idea. You give it to someone for a good answer. So you know who gives good answers because they have lots of Karma. Now you can buy it, win it, trade it, whore for it, and even get Karma just for saying, "yeah that sucks". So we're back at square one.

Let me ask you this then Ulter. My number one suggestion was that there needs to be more mods to take up that slack. Do you agree with that statement?

I wasn't trying to be rude to him... I just wanted a little insight on his opinion of my recommendation.

 

[Ulter]

I do and I don't.
New mods are great but... Not to be a snob or anything but there just aren't any qualified members here to be a mod. All the great ones like zyg, mustang, quad just don't post enough. So you've got AAP, Macro, X and me (I'm not a mod) and couple others trying to cover an awful lot of ground. Honestly, there are some great guys here and some are very smart, but I can't think of 3 guys I would make mods. Not that that is up to me.

We've seen what happens when you make someone a mod that doesn't know enough several times in the last 5 years so George has gotten pretty picky for good reason.
