View Full Version : A suggestion to [censored]
I know you watched the university presentation by the somethingawful.com guy yesterday.
Anyway, for those who haven't seen it, he talks about a time in 2001 where the forum had gone to [censored], and as a result, he didn't feel like dealing with it anymore and temporarily left. In an attempt to spice things up, the guy who he had left in charge introduced a new rule where anyone who posted between 6-6:15pm for an entire month was banned. It proved to be pretty funny and was successful in shaking things up.
I know OOT is in a much better state now, but perhaps we could introduce something like this to further weed out the chaff who can't read.
What says ye?

15 minutes of my life w/o OOT in it is 15 mins not worth living.
This idea could be ok...only problem is that people would just inadvertently forget.

Some great strat poster will end up getting banned, the usual catastrophe of protest will ensue.

All I know is my boss would really appreciate if this policy went into effect, but the ban would affect anyone posting from 8 am until 5 pm.

At first, I was very skeptical in [censored]'s new power.... I figured he'd go overboard powertripping....
But I must say...I think things have gotten much better. Thread quality has gone up since he assumed the role of authority.

15 minutes? That's like 6 or 7 posts for Jake. /images/graemlins/wink.gif
I was the guy who posted the video yesterday, and I thought the parellels between somethingawful's message board and OOT were really interesting. The guy that was left in charge of somethingawful's message board was their [censored], and the results were the same -- a better board for the vast majority of the "regulars".
The 6:00-6:15 banning idea was cute. However, I'm sure that [censored] can come up with something original if he felt that such a thing were needed. I think OOT is under control now, though...no need for anything gimmicky at the moment.

Where exactly would you post this that people should see it? /images/graemlins/confused.gif

Er, in a sticky? Prominent enough so that most would see it, but obviously not all. Let the mayhem begin.

I think it would be better if there was no post, and the time was randomized.

WTF is up with your comprehension today? /images/graemlins/smile.gif
A fresh sticky, saying that throughout November, people will be banned if they post during a specific 15 minute period. No re-reading necessary.

You are entirely correct. We really shouldn't do anything to tarnish the serious reputation of Other Other Topics.

Did I say something about tarnishing a reputation? It's just a silly idea that has no merit and will only clutter the forum with complaints.

I don't know if you realised, but we're being moderated by a gimmick account from a Hollywood blockbuster.
Anyway, whatever, I don't mind. Not my idea, just thought some might find it appealing.
