Tutorial Mandatory for Registration
    #5871874 -

There should be a tutorial required for registration to the forums. There should also be one for each individual forum that goes over the rules. These tutorials should be timed so that the user is forced to read... I know some people with tabbed browsing will do other things instead, but those people are already smart enough to figure this shit out....

I'm curious how the OTD test would be.

Probably one of those 'which pic is not like the other'

Recently we've made a few changes to cut down on repetitive newbie posts. The mods of the most affected forums came up with comprehensive stickies to address common questions. We reinstituted the splash screen for new users. Also, before a new user's post is accepted they are shown a list of related threads in case their question has been answered. As I understand it these changes have already had a positive effect on the problem without throwing up a big brick wall to new members.

If anyone is interested, I made an "OTD for the n00bies" thead.

(WARNING, THERE IS POOP IN THERE)

But someone sticky that for me, thanks.

Sounds like that is a good idea... I wasn't aware of the splash screen since I am one of the only people here who have never made another account...

I think a test would be a good idea.

Cult also needs to be split, it's just too high volume and covers too large of a subject area. Eliminate one of the several low-volume non-mushroom related forums if need be.

I would suggest combining "Philosophy & Spirituality" and "Mysticism, Religion, & the Paranormal". Because the only thing worse than a low-volume, non-mushroom related forum on a mushroom site... Is having TWO of them on the EXACT SAME subject.

Philosophy ~= Spirituality = Religion = Mysticism = the Paranormal

Do you see the logic in that?

Haha, I don't think that will be happening again

"Mysticism, Religion, & the Paranormal" only averages .5 threads per day. Who's going to miss it?

Did they actually try combining them at one point?


We need to start a dialog and heal that deep and bitter divide between religion and spirituality. If we can do that then there must be some hope of bringing the paranormalists and spiritual philosophers together. With those factions combined I'm sure we can overcome the rigid dogma and isolationism of the "mystics". Let the healing begin.

No, one forum was split into 2...it was during the time you were already a member, actually.

regarding O.D.D

if there is a splash screen there, please ensure there's plenty of stress on the "no sources" and "no dose advice/recommendations" rules... Looking after those threads are largely clerical and people get angry when their post is relegated to the dump and their records dinged with a warning.

36pt font would be appropriate for those two rules :wink:

litte off topic, how does one check if they have a warning?

There's no automated way to do it, but you can ask in Rono's thread.

For your reference, you have none.

Doesn't it send a PM to the offender when one receives an official warning?

I seem to remember getting something like that a long time ago when I posted something stupid.

Yes, it does. Or if you're banned from the whole board it sends an e-mail. However if you delete that or don't get it, like blinkidiot says there's no way to manually check your own history. This may be changed in the future.

LOL. It used to be "Spirituality and Philosophy", and was split into two forums due to popular request because of the very reasons you state. Mostly due to the cold and calculated dissections from the "skeptics" tearing into the "believers" spiritual ruminations, which turned into a one-sided war of sorts. But I agree, maybe it's time to merge them back together.


As for registrations.. we do need a test. Make it a pain in the ass to register :evil:
