A suggestion to [censored]

Yeti · #1 11-03-2005, 01:56 PM

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.
