Admin apply restrictions?
« on: April 16, 2013, 11:18:39 am »
Hello,

Another suggestion from me that could work and we would see less newbie members with their first post applying for admin. Same as when you post your first posts only by moderator's approval, the same should be added for making admin applies. Correctly saying, when a newbie makes first post for admin, it gets denied straight away with a description on screen saying something like this:
"Aquire/Make more posts before posting an admin apply"

We all know that these kiddos are power hungry and they dont care about the rest of the forum as long as they get what they want. If not, then they just move on to other forum, thats how i see it.


There should be a restriction for admin applies atleast until 50 posts, otherwise this just messed up.
Also for admins and well known members: "STOP telling them to make an admin apply", better explain them how the system works. I usually get asked "how to become admin in Ambrosia?" before giving a link i always explain the basics.

What do you think about the restriction idea?

Well, its better if we make it with the time we are registerd then with the post, cuz some players wants to play and only check daily the forums but dont post.


3 Weeks or 1 Month, after that they can applie ;)

Why do you all change the forum so much, there used to be a time when first post admin applies get denied straight away. That was like 8 months ago. Now everthing seems to be different, every newbie with first 1-5 posts gets accepted as trial, which is just LAME...

the member might be enough active on server, but what if it comes to unban someone and the accepted admin doesnt show up, its just the waste of time and nerves.

Look at Rene for example  ;D
He has like what, 50 posts and i havent seen him on forum for a very long time!

As I said. Many member check forum DAILY But they dont post. If somone makes a unban request he will see. Some just want to play and keep the hackers away.

The suggestion with time is better as with posts. :)

Yes, its better a guy with like 20 Posts and hes registerd like 5 Months then a Spambot like me who got 1500 + Posts. I felt like spamming but now I dont really post much.

And " Sight " already suggested this but no one cared about this, Suggestions should be taken more serious,,,,

Ok then.  I will agree on this if we will close ALL forum games, and isue a stricky rules in welcome and leavers section. Yesterday I've discovered a guy who have 1k posts and 900 of then are : welcome mate or good luck ..
This is wrong way how to fight forum spamers and monitor member activity.

I have diff suggestion :

If you want to apply for an admin:
1. U must stick with just one nick.
2. U must create a game tracker account, pick your banner and put it in ur admin app.

So we could se a true and detailed activity of the aplicant.

Suggestion rejected because of 2 reasons:

1. Head admins are enough smart and wise to choose the proper player for the admin position
2. This will encourage people to spam.
