Would you like to see the Full Releases forum become moderated?
 

Yay, another poll. :)

This is something I have been thinking about for quite a while, and the recent hakcs that are nothing but duplicates of existing hacks with a new name, made me think about this option even more.
These hacks cause confusion to a lot of us, I am sure. I also know some people only post these hacks to get a high hack count, and I've been deleting many hacks of this nature.

So, would you like us to moderate new hacks in the Full Releases and Beta Hacks forums?
There are three options:
~ Yes
~ No
~ Yes, but only for members with less than X posts / X hacks / X days registered.

I want to know what you think about this. :)

Cheers.

Hate to say this, but yes.

Chris

BTW, if you vote for the second option (only for XYZ members), please specify how you think this should be decided.

Yes, but only for members with less then 950 posts ;):D

I see your point and i agree 100% with yes. *points to that mirror hack from my "How many threads a user started in a specified forum" that's posted yesterday*

I'm thinking maybe 20 posts/10 days. By then the mods would have read the users's posts and already know if that person is licensed or not. It also stops worthless posts like THIS HACK DOESN'T WORK and other stupid ones.

I'm thinking a couple hundred posts, but I'm not sure. Maybe 100 or so. But I definitely think some kind of moderation is needed. Some of those threads are just far too flippant.

yes!! it would also be nice for some way to seperate the support part of the thread from the" thanks great hack " and other stuff that gets posted in the thread. makes it hard to dig thru all the post to see if someone else has the same problem you did. just a thought :)

what do u mean ?? can u elaborate on what you mean by MODERATE in this instance?? :D

I mean that new threads (not posts!) will not appear after you submit them but will be approved by moderators.
It's the standard moderation feature in vBulletin.

Something definitely needs to be done. There is definitely too much junk in there. I don't know how easy it would be to automate by post count. You could end up with people spamming just to get to the point where they can release hacks. And there is enough spamming going on already. Maybe straight moderation of new hacks is best.
