So I've been trying to introduce friends from other forums here ... and well, there are a few features that make it a bit difficult:
[SIZE=2][COLOR=#cc0000](6:13:54 PM) [/COLOR][/SIZE][COLOR=#cc0000][SIZE=3]BlindMind028:[/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE=3] [FONT=Palatino Linotype]Taking me an hour to make this one post. XD[/FONT][/SIZE]

[COLOR=#204a87][SIZE=2](6:16:13 PM) [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q:[/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE=3] Oh.[/SIZE]

[COLOR=#204a87][SIZE=2](6:16:31 PM) [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q:[/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE=3] um ...[/SIZE]
[COLOR=#204a87][SIZE=2](6:16:37 PM) [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q:[/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE=3] Give me the link I'll post it for you. [/SIZE]
[COLOR=#204a87][SIZE=2](6:16:38 PM) [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q:[/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE=3] Sorry ...[/SIZE]
I don't really want that one reversed. Last thing we need is porn pictures all over from spam accounts.
If not that, at least this one:
[SIZE=2][COLOR=#cc0000](6:19:18 PM) [/COLOR][/SIZE][COLOR=#cc0000][SIZE=3]BlindMind028:[/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE=3] [FONT=Palatino Linotype]"***" is filtered too.[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][COLOR=#cc0000](6:19:20 PM) [/COLOR][/SIZE][COLOR=#cc0000][SIZE=3]BlindMind028:[/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE=3] [FONT=Palatino Linotype]Hahaha.[/FONT][/SIZE]
***** at Jesse about that. I have no idea why its filtered, nor do I really want it filtered. Gets in the way of my writing some times.
I doubt he'll unfilter that though.
i would LOVE word filters removed.
Someone mass email/PM Jesse about this.
And yeah, keep the link one, but if possible we could try setting it lower, so they'd need like three posts.
To be honest, if someone really wanted to spam horrid links they'd use a program and they'd get to five posts in a second.
We want it where it's at. It's currently at 10, of which for good reason. I've been around quite a few times when people have spam posted up to ten, only to post porn.
At least give a warning about it as to why URLs are being blocked.
But yeah, I've been trying to pull people over from other sites lately to give VGC some new blood and action. Try to make it easier for me. - -
Hopefully that'll make you more active too Xenos.
Also, the more users you bring, the more we can make VGC more comfortable for new users.
KEEP AT IT
edit: wait no jesse will just **** everything over again nvm =(
Well, I've been drifting to other forums for the past ... half a year, but I've been at VGC for five years now. - - I don't really want it to die, so I decided to just pull as many people over here instead.
For awhile, I tried to make some interesting threads, but it didn't work. I think the best solution is to just bring in some new people here to make things a bit more interesting.
I've pretty much just succumb to the fact that things will always turn out Jesse's way, no matter how much he's outvoted. For some reason, he thinks it's best, but an approximately 2 year span of almost no user base growth and people getting fed up and leaving says different. :(
[quote] At least give a warning about it as to why URLs are being blocked.
Done, check rules thread under rule 4. http://www.vgchat.com/showthread.php?t=17992 Hey, how about posting a link to the rules somewhere, Jesse. That way, people will actually know they exist.
In the rules it says five needed, but I had people with fifteen posts and still can't post URLs or Pictures.
So how many posts are needed to post urls and images?
25
...Sigpic?
Yah, I agree we should get rid of signature pictures!!! This is a video game forum, not [url=http://www.vgmuseum.com]The Video Game Museum!!![/url] :D:D:D:D
Isn't there any way you can possibly lower this to 15 or 10 ...?
Jesse, would you turn off [sigpic] if all of the active mods UNANIMOUSLY voted against it? It's honestly the stupidest, most mundane, idiotic feature I've ever seen on a message board. =/
