How about for those unsure of the use of a thread, PM a mod for their approval.

Re: new thread probation
 

Yeah, don't hesitate to ask us questions. Remember we may not always get you an answer right away though.

But at the same time, don't use us as an excuse for not knowing the rules or lacking common sense. We're not here to babysit you

I was going to apologize for my "What happened!!??" thread but I suddenly do not feel the need to...

Re: new thread probation
 

I'm really gonna miss all the "Omg! The Skins Front Office Sucks/Dan Snyder should suck a railroad spike" threads.

..I guess I'll just have to deal with the parking lot threads for my main source of entertainment now.

Re: new thread probation
 

Always. I usually spent the months of February to July in the Parking Lot and just graze the Locker Room from time to time to avoid the utter stupidity of some of the threads that pop up during the offseason. Then again, without those threads, people won't know what to do, or won't be able to hijack.

[quote=RobH4413;418806]Don't know if you can do this or not...

But for those under 1,000 posts or something like that... you should temporarily redirect the user to the search page, or some kind of "Are you sure your not posting a retarded thread?" pop up message...

If people are too lazy to use google, they're probably too lazy to read the forum guidelines. This might be able to curb some of the duplicates and such...[/quote]

Some of us under 1000 are not as irresponsible as others . . . jerk.

[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;418732]then the mods would get like tons of messages then they would have to read every single one and the aprrove or disapprove them. I wouldnt wish that on my worst enemy[/quote]

Read it again. "Start of the thread", not each individual response to a thread. I doubt there are so many threads [U]started[/U] each day that it would overwhelm anyone, except maybe those bored with the content. Obviously asking a MOD to review and approve/disapprove each individual response would be overwhelming.

GET A LIFE ,I use my computer for one reason and one reason and thats to stay on top of whats going on with my redskins and and the duke bluedevils i.e. REDDUKE44 Feel Me? [INDENT][quote=Mattyk72;418569]Seems like the quality of new threads around here lately has been subpar at best. Too many duplicates, and too many worthless threads to put it bluntly.

In response to this please be aware that posting new threads is a privilege, one that will be taken away if you can't follow two simple guidelines.

#1, before you post you really need to review the first page of threads on whatever forum you are posting on. (Sometimes when there is breaking news duplicates happen and that's understandable and I wouldn't penalize someone for that. Also, I'm not talking about similar topics that may have taken place weeks or months ago. A duplicate is an obvious repeated thread, usually some sort of news and it's right there in plain sight on the first page of threads.)

#2 don't waste our time with whatever mindless thought is running through your head at the moment. Think before you post, try to imagine what type of discussion your thread will generate. Is it going to be meaningful discussion, or mindless banter? If it's the latter please don't bother.

Again, posting new threads is a privilege, one that will be taken away if you can't follow the two simple guidelines outlined above. This "new thread probation" as I call it has actually been in place for a while, I just thought it was time to make everyone aware of the possible consequences of repeatedly posting duplicate or worthless threads.

If your new thread privileges get taken away, it's for good. Sorry, no second chances.

Any questions let me know.[/quote]

Great idea, great thread. Funny and informative. That dude skinzaholic said "Sha-Kow" in his thread! LOL!

Then redduke44 tells Matty to get a life? Sorry man, I didn't know you were so hard pressed to have unlimited thread starting privileges what with your 63 total posts in 18 months as a member.

Man I love this place.

Don't worry. He can always go over to ExtremeSkins and belittle the mods over there... But he might wake up with a horse head in his bed.

I must say, I've started checking out ExtremeSkins to get another viewpoint on things, and maybe pick up some extra information. This site is soooooo much better, its not even funny. I've made some dumb posts before like all of us, but I'm glad we're going to keep this site clean and a place for "intelligent" discussion.

Re: new thread probation
 

To be honest this time if year was made just for all the dumb threads and what else is there to talk abou. Then when the season starts we can get back to football and not all of the what if's. Here is a typical thread this time of year.

I heard Vick might get out of jail before October should we sign him for Vet. Min just incase JC is not working out?

zombie thread diving, now for the whole family!

Re: new thread probation
 

curious as to why the a-rod steriods thread was closed in the "other sports" forum. i would like to talk about it, im sure im not the only baseball fan on here and it is a pretty big deal worth discussing.

is a mod a yankee fan and censoring anything anti-yankee?

go skins!!

Re: new thread probation
 

It's already being discussed in an open thread

Re: new thread probation
 

yeah just found it in the "parking lot", figured itd be in the "other sports" forum . . . my bad but thanks for responding so quickly matty.

go skins!!

Re: new thread probation
 

I re-named that thread and moved it to the other sports forum.

My guess is he probably thought in your original post that you were referring to his anthony alridge thread

Re: new thread probation
 

Nah, thought that it was new and currently an issue. I don't make many threads so hopefully I won't have to worry about it.
