First of all I am so sorry if I starting it with sharing my story first than start the suggesting topic right away.. But well I am "Newbie" and just found this forum because of btc price and the crazy growth.. I was joining this forum by referral of my friend that making some eth(money) from bounty on this forum. And when I try to registering it, I got surprised that my IP is already got blacklisted as evil IP. Then I got to use my friend network at SG by using te*mv*ewer creating an account. And start reading rules and FAQ, etc.. But when I start trying to read some other thread and replies.. All I see is some (not all of them) people just posting useless or off-topic or even asking opinion about something that will lure all the junkers or farmer post all the sh*t out.. As specially "newbie" posts.. almost all of them is post for activity as for ranks.. And my mind was.. Well I do has the same thinking too, that I have to write something in this forum so I can gain activity and start the bounty.. I don't know if I was junking or not.. But giving opinion on the forum was the best way to avoid the rules and getting activity of posting..
Now what I am going to suggesting is.. How about the Rank system changed..
Change all Newbie rank can't post at all, only can read posts/threads and report junkers (Confirmed by mods first and how many she/he can reports are limited for each day) on the forum to earn points so he/she can post (set the limit he/she must reach first so she/he can earn 1 post) something to ask or posting some good posts to gain activity(ranked up). You can put some points or karma or something for it. And as reported post you can give the penalty like cutting their 5-10 activity or demoting their ranks or bans..
Example: Newbie can only read some section and only can report (with limited reports for each day) with certain range of time and gain 1 point if it get confirmed by mods.
And a reported post going to get some mark on it, that the post has been reported by who(maybe only the user that make the report can see it and let other only see it as has been reported) and awaiting for mods confirmation.
As the point newbie need to post is around 3 or 5.. And how much activity he/she needed to ranks up is all yours to recalculated it
.
Once he/she ranked up(Suggesting new rank called matured), there is no need for him/her to do that again.
And when the posts start getting good and junkers reduced.. Then you can start using some giveaway ranks up or some certain ranks can give 3 or 5 "In guidance" badge to the newbie so they can matured right away and those ranks that giving it will take responsible for it too.
The logic of this idea is now all "Newbie" need to help mods clean up the forum first by reading the forum threads than start posting an already answered questions around and all the ID farmer going to stop their doing (Spams or post junks) because of it. (He/she gonna need to report 3-5 post of his/her spammers comrade to earn one post or activity.) And when we giving them -5 or 10 activity each report.. Then they will start posting good posts and afraid of the newbies that wanted to ranks up.
The cons of this idea is:
- Newbie will feel having hard time on this forum at first round.
- Too much work for admin and mods at the first round..
- Some of ranked members will screaming like crazy old hags.
- Some High Ranked members will REFUSE this idea (LOL).
- (Open suggestion what another cons of it)
The pros of this idea is:
- All the member of the forum is matured(already know the rules and spend some time to read first than posting right away) members.
- All the high ranked is really a good quality post's members.
- All the high ranked ID will skyrockets and all scammer will think twice now as the price of high ranked ID is skyrockets.
- Some High ranked will be happy with this idea (BTC_BTC)
- (Open suggestion what another pros of it)
Might happened:
- Lower the forum traffic..
- New member feel not worth it.
- Real Investor/inventor see this forum as an official Bitcoin forum talks.
- It's temporary solution, can be changed again.
- (Open suggestion for what might happened)Well maybe some people going to say that I was a fool that I'm still a "newbie" myself.. But for what I'm looking for when I was joining this forum was for some good threads and boards section on this forum, getting new friends, partners or for exchanging knowledge or items or even filling up my knowledge and opportunity for the bounty and earning money, even I having a idea for my own country folk to co-op on something.. And of course my suggestion is just for the greater good of myself and those inside or outside of this forum.
So they will be willingly to join up to earn the bounty and yet they must understand the forum concept and help to protect it..
NB:
It's open suggestion and I will updating it and if my grammars is bad than I am sorry and pm me what that is need to be fixed. And if this post is full of junk then I am willingly to say sorry, locking it up right away and stay silent
.EDITED:
- editing the lines.
- adding cons, pros, might happened.
- adding (limited report for each day)
- adding logic of the idea.
- add some code and fix a LOTof wrong grammer of mine :p
