Annoying Big Red Text

[Mokothemonkey]

Why does the "IF YOU USE VERY BAD GRAMMER OR SPAM YOU WILL BE FINED OR BANNED. READ THE GUIDLINES" sign have to be so big and red? It takes away from the whole forums experiance, makes the site look a little unproffessional, and scares me with the word 'fine' because that means less money. Maybe if it was in all the blank space in the top navigation bar, or before the submit button of posts?

 

Just a suggestion

That's the idea make it intrusive so no one misses it. Works well doesn't?

[Ashoat]

Not as well as I'd like.

 

Moko: do you have any better idea as to how I can drill the idea of proper spelling and grammar into the minds of users?

The only issue I have with the text is that those who spell and/or use grammar poorly probably couldn't read the sign in the first place (Non-native English speakers). But alas, there is no fix for that.

A written exam before membership is approved.

 

 

 

 

Hope it wouldn't be retroactive.

You could have it so moderator have to approve posts before people can see them... it would mean a lot more moderators but you wouldn't have spam.

But people would get annoyed because their post would take five hours to be proccessed. People would start to leave, and helionet/heliohost would lose revenue, haveing to shut down for ANOTHER 6 months

There were issues with the server that caused registration to close, not financial problems.

The only way we will lose revenue is if free-webhosts.com deranks us, or if they stop being the first result on Google for pretty much all important free hosting keywords.

But I scour the forums for like 8 hours in the holidays, you would need like 2 more mods for GMT time maybe... You would only need to do everybodys first 10 post

Yeah, things are pretty quiet around here... there has to be less then 10 posts a day, although the help section is more popular.

I've gotten bored because no ones on here - the only new posts are mine lol

 

@wizard: Oh yeah, the problem with stevie caused heliohost to close, causing financial issues It's so confusing!
