Forums / Maintenance / Suggest Ideas

Whether they be trolls or noobs, we need to force the FAQ more upon new members. Rather then having to tell the members ourselves, maybe we can implement a message to appear after clicking "create entry" to appear the the top of the entry creation process, such as the link or the whole FAQ itself, to prevent actual noobs from spamming pages upon pages of 1 sentenced entries.

This is a pretty good idea. Maybe we can get them to add it to the KYM 2.0 design?

NO.

Actually, after reading it again, I suggest that we make them read the FAQ directly after they register instead of linking it to the entry creation button.

I agree Sweatie, we should make every new user read Captain Underpants before creating new entries.

I dont see a difference what you tell them,beyond the terms of course, they still are gonna do it, and purposely because they like trolling.

Anyways nothing matters till its confirmed anyways.

I think we should redirect all new registrations to the Sweatie Killer's wall in order for him to properly greet them.
If they survive the encounter, they can stay here and lurk moar.

@OP we need to make entries, too. Don't forget that.

I mean no Offense but KYM is a tad bit over the top when it comes to new members.

I mean I remember posting "The Game" in Binary on a smart joke thread, and a mod threaten ban me.

The KYM 2.0 new entry page has a sidebar that provides some guidelines on creating a meme entry. It should help reduce the number of bad entries.

@Sweatie Killer:
We had a troll that posted in nothing but binary. Probably just brought up some bad memories, as it caused a lot of drama. Don't worry, you probably would just get a warning for stuff like that.

But I do agree that KYM is a bit too harsh on new members. People just need to relax and assume new people are neutral, rather than trolls. We don't want to send the message that KYM is unfriendly to new users, as that would discourage user contribution.

In the meantime, just let the entry mods do their job. That's what they're there for.

@Shadowfury

Ahh so thats what it was about.

"Actually, after reading it again, I suggest that we make them read the FAQ directly after they register instead of linking it to the entry creation button."
I've been saying that for months.
But can you really force them to not skip over it?

@Steven R.

regardless, atleast it's there if they don't immediately skip it. Perhaps there could be some bold lettering at the top? lol

If its not confirmed I dont see what the big deal is, no matter how much security we put up, they are gonna still do it, its just the way humanity is, get used to it.

@Sweatie

don't you mean…

To prevent them from just skipping over it, I suggest brand new members trying to create an entry must first take a written exam, over the FAQs to be e-mailed in, to prevent trolls.

That would certainly reduce adbots.
But some trolls are actually competent and would do good on the test and make a crappy entry, still.
