We could create a two-tiered forum system in which people have the option to pay a one time fee to gain the ability to post in the paid forum (while still allowing it to be visible to everyone.)

Careful, this idea might actually fit with Fizzer's coin games agenda... he might actually do it o_o

I don't get why everybody being so hard on Nex's suggestion. Its not perfect, and probably won't be implemented. But I don't think that was the point. It seems like it was more to start a discussion.

That is true of many of my forum posts. None of my ideas are perfect ones, but they often fall in areas that should be addressed and discussed. You recognized the suggestion for what is: a way to get people talking. :)

Sounds idiotic as it's very easy for boot rates to be skewed.
I have actually not been kicked much, but due to my low game count i have a boot rate of 16%.(I play a lot of diplos)


On a side note. Hello Gar, remember the gay pirate roleplay?

WarLight is for everyone loving strategic map games to play. It is not only for people dedicated to giving it most of their time.

My boot level is also quite high (was even higher), but that was because of family affairs some months ago that threw me away of many games; also I got massively booted at many times.

However, I LOVE the game, and will continue playing the way I can.
Ladder-climbers and level-pursuers can "climb their levels" at another forum if they want.

Trolling is definitely annoying and must be fought, but boot levels and earned points in last 30 days do not necessarily have to do with that.

People, do not become Slytherin-style skill purists. Please.

It is proven that those with higher boot rates should be given suspensions if posted on forum!

This thread was indeed relevant to today's events.

Eh, as someone with a boot rate of 3.7(although admittedly it's my second account and I used to have it higher) I think suspending anyone with a double digit boot rate is kinda extreme, it's pretty easy to get yourself there with a low game count and a lot of diplo participation, as those tend to take a stupidly long time to start, and sometimes people join them, tab out, then forget about the games and go afk, maybe 2 hours after it's been created.

Just create clear rules on what's allowed in this forum and what isn't, and actually ban those who violate those rules.

Okay.

But I'm honored that you think I'm still Relevant.

Activity and boot rates are a bit arbitrary, I think that anything more than a 1% bootrate is a shame, and more than 5% is just ugly, but it doesn't mean it should have forum consequences.


Reducing troll activity can be tackled by an easy 3 steps approach:

- Forum entering barriers replacing the current ones that aren't effective to prevent alt posting. Level 15, account 1 month old or membership give access to the forum.

- Clarification of rules and effective enforcement of the existing ones. Tackling mass spamming with a limitation of posts per period would also be appreciated, I don't need to be able to make 500 posts/replies per minute.

- Downvoting as a ban tool. Don't need to be a direct ban, just get the most downvoted players to get reviewed by a mod if their ban is justified. And don't you fucking defend free speech, if you can't find a couple of guys that upvote your content once in a while and can't get a mod to approve what you post, then perhaps your posts shouldn't be in the forum.

As a troll king, edgelord, and memelord, I'm proud of the trolling in these forums. Why should it stop? Without trolls, this forum would have maybe two active posters.
