OTD suggestion
    #5579329 - 05/01/06 09:57 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

An idea on eliminating puppets.

When someone shows up with 1 or 2 posts directly into OTD it's pretty safe to say its a puppet. I know they are jus there to irritate, that part kind of cracks me up.

Now they usually get banned right away. BUT, wouldn't it be better if you needed like 50 posts or so to get into OTD? That way the puppeteer would have to work a bit before they get to OTD.

And then when they do get banned it's soooo much the sweeter. And yes I know about the new unbeatable puppet eliminator you all are so hard at work at.

(As a bonus this would keep new users frfrom accidentally being mentally scarred.)

They did that for a little bit. I don't know why the admins decided to change it.

I remember there being a limit of posts or number of time required to view OTD also.

It sounds like a good idea to have it that way to me.

One of the admins took out the script so they could make more puppets. That has to be it.

These ideas are not brand new. Im sure we have done this before. It wont work because then they just post whore other forums untill they have enough to get in OTD.

If it were me and my website, I'd make otd invite only with exception to those who already exist there.

exactly.



You could just copy the exact same script frfrom the marketplace to otd. I didn't start going to otd for a couple months after I first joined. I think its a great idea and would eliminate puppets.

And if they did get in (and then get banned) it would be so sweet, cuz they just wasted hours upon hours to get in.

If anything it would make for BETTER puppets, since it would take weeks of planning and time to get one in.

I think this idea is soooooooo good, don't you?

No, we had it like this at one time, and it proved horrible.

All the puppets would then spam other forums just to get into the otd. The end result was even more inane posting.

The way it is now it  is at least contained to OTD, where such style is not only the norm, but even desired :wink:

is there a way to have it so it a certain time peroid (lets say 15 days) has to be achieved. however if like a certain amount of posts are not made during that time then it would not be viewable

If you are talking about post expiration, it is active in OTD, all posts not active for 45 days are deleted.

no im talking about preventing puppets. i dont really have a problem with them but heres a potential solution to curb the frequency. just make it a certain ratio of posts per day to amount of days registered is required within a certain date of regristration. for example if somebody registers may 5th then by may 20th they must have a certain amount of posts ( per day ) for the forum to be viewable. this way it prevents people from either creating a puppet in letting it sit around till access is granted because its registered long enough, and it also prevents it from just spamming a diffrent forum all in one day to get the proper amount of posts to view the forum. basically forcing a person to earn thier puppet.

But there is neither a time nor a post count restriction for OTD. What exactly would your strategy be good for?
