War man you didn't reply to my pm!

Sure about that? Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me, you didn't pm me anything.

I've also been a member here just about as long as you have.

the standards arent in the gutter. we are a tight-knit community, and besides a few bad apples, we all get along pretty well

Fair point. I was actually referring to what has happened to the forums over here in AUS.
You guys all know each other and have stirred shit for so long it doesn't even stick anymore.
New members (and that's what the guys in charge are likely keen for) probably don't feel the same way when they cop some of the stuff you guys throw at each other.

yeah, but there really are no new members anymore. i think youre also making it out to be worse than it really is. i really cant think of any examples of a new member being shunned (unless they were trolling or just plain retarded)

whatever he was a fucking tool and if us 'hazing' him meant he stopped posting, then yay for our hazing. new members (when they actually arrive, because who the fuck is buying BF2 new and looking for a forum to join) that actually post+contribute and are generally chill are fine and get along fine. example otomh, kampf.

Just curious......are you going to rename the site BF3s at some point?
Or maybe you guys could start a new one under that name and enforce strict standards from day one, might be easier than retraining the current crop.

I'm assuming we're going to to use the same forum; will registration be open or will new members have to go through that moderator approval system?

Remember vlam? He originally didn't understand it, I had to help him through it along with you helping me as I never went through mod approval.

Never would of got on if it wasn't for our help.

It's not confusing at all as far as I am concerned. You just have to post once with some identifying info to make sure you are indeed a human being that can read and follow rules. No big thing.

But some new members may not understand that. Vlam is an example who didn't get it at first.

It slows down the amount of new people who make it to the board. At least half of all people who will make an account will instantly quit if they see they have to go through some silly ass highschoolish "tell us about you" crap.

If someone has a question about something and quickly wants to get it answered or sees something in DST they are passionate about or found something funny in EE that they want to comment on the sometimes long mod approval process will completely shut down the passion that new members get from the forums.

I criticized the community for being insular and unwelcoming and it's not a 100% the members fault. The current new member process really exacerbates the problem.

It's not hard to delete a thread and ban a member. It's not like bots would be forum menace.
