RANT about this forum
Every since i have been posting here i go to this forum and i'm telling you it's going straight down hill. Not that b18c5-eh2 is a bad moderator. I think it's cause of the new noobie rules. That they can only go to the top part of the section. But noobies are trying to sell stuff here and etc. I just noticed that there are 2 pointless polls looking for tvs and trying to sell stuff.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

Just go to a different forum or ignore the threads that bother you.
But, you decide to add another useless thread to the forum instead. LOL.

Re: RANT about this forum (owen_the_soyboy)
Personally, I'd just lock the for sale and stupid threads, deduct points and "advise" the noobs to tread lightly in that regard. Oh wait, that's what Tom does anyway. 
In an open forum like this, you will always have some bullshit to put up with. They key is to ignore the crap that pisses you off (for sale posts, etc). It'll be taken care of eventually. Of course, the trolls can just be shot.......

I really don't know
Re: RANT about this forum (vtecvoodoo)
100 posts before you're allowed to sell something
And have punishments for loss %. 10 post per day probation for 99%, 5 post per day probation for 98% for X days etc.
however, the newbie 5 post per day lockdown is about 9 days too long.
I feel that new members should only be allowed through references from existing members. (sorry hybrid, i got the idea from you)
This helps so that newbies that start problems will not only look dumb but the people who refer them will also look 'dumb'

Re: RANT about this forum (isotopesope)
We need a mid-day mod to help. Tom catches all the stuff in the morning and later in the afternoon. All the crap gets posted, and stay up, from about 11-4 Cali time from what I`ve seen.
Newbies not being able to post in the classifieds doesn`t help either. Yhey just want to sell **** and don`t care if they get the boot or no so they post it here. On the other hand, it`s a good thing they can`t post in the classifieds, too.
I`d say if they have two deleted posts withing their first twenty, ban them!

Re: RANT about this forum (vtecvoodoo)
what if trial users had a read-only period before their trial user status? that might make a lot of the trolls forget how witty they were going to be if they can't post immediately.

-Spade who has seen H-T before the "Newbie" restrictions were implemented. We all thought that would take care of the stupidity...just made it more obvious.

Re: RANT about this forum (Spade)
i think we need a second active moderator.
tom does a good job but there is too much to cover it 24/7.
id love to do it, but they probably wouldnt let me.

Re: RANT about this forum (seano)
vtecvoodoo for vice mod.
It's not useless because we got more feedback.
And the reason i posted this was because i noticed a increase in newb stupidity since the newb rules were put into action.
Thanks for responding guys...
