or losered for a week.

No. Banned.

Banned is a harsh punishment if they never actually broke any rules.

I think we should stick 'em with a nice, humiliating sig.

'Rectal Rooters. Servicing men's plumbing since 1940' or something.

...I need to go to bed. :(

There will be no Bans for the worst members.

Solid.

Go to hell you character limit.

yeah, that's fucking retarded.

So is worthless spam in "Forum Discussion".

Yeah I think this idea would be great, and I don't know what is holding Chruser back with this kind of approval from the forum dwellers.

Anything official would likely take time to implement...

Plus, it's not even finalized yet. This still appears as conjecture.

@penny: yes, because you're one of the asskissers on the forum. there's a little circle of elitists on here, and those would be the ones picked to do the judging. so, by implementing this, we're not only advocating being an elitist, but we're actually placing a label on elitists to have a higher social rank of sorts. this idea is shit, and it most likely will fail.

See, now resorting to flaming in EVERY topic you post in would probably get you BLISed or GAHHed at the least.

correct sir, a final 5 has not been set. We were just speculating who had the abilty to do good character judgements. Plus the fact that admins have to get the structure setup.

i wasn't flaming slim. stop assuming.

You called Penny an asskisser.

Yeah... wtf...


And yes MasterAC is right.

lol, i was just making a point. i didnt mean it in a bad way. besides, me and penny are tight. lol. ;p

Quit spamming up this forum/flaming in it.

I think this is sort of like the points system, maybe some way we can incorporate that. It is truly just a conjecture, hopefully if Chruser approves, we can finalize very soon and get this running good. And would the council have a seperate forum to themselves?

Hopefully. That would be great, but only if there is much deliberation to be had.

Finally! Penny and I get mentioned as part of the veteran/smarter members.

But.. yeah, I'd be interested in this council. I miss being a news poster and if I make this council I can fill that void. [/end pathetic story]

I'm game.

You know my opinion, you ALL suck ;)

Again, the bias will likely be obvious if a regular member decides to attack a council member in any way. If council member X gets thoroughly flamed by board member Y, chances are that X will hate Y and say bad things about Y to other council members, which in turn leads to Y getting a "bad rating".

On the contrary, a "let everyone vote" system will likely, as previously stated, only receive input from a small circuit of members. A member who is in need to improve his score after several bad incidents could easily tell a few of his/her friends to boost his score, as "a few" people will likely dominate the direction of the user's score.

Yet another method would be to rate the user's individual posts, one by one, to grade the individual input from time to time, which would more efficiently be done by regular board members than a jury, as the jury would hardly read ALL posts on the forum, and maybe exclude those in, say, the RM2K3 forum.
