how about an application for creating a membership - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

i think that if we start making people submit applications and having the current members vote on weather or not they should be allowed a membership. I think that by doing this we can cut down on alot of the B.S. threads and whatnot. Save that shit for nico. let us here at zilvia be civilized.

doesn't sound like the worst idea, but it does sound like it would require a lot of screening which = a lot of work

EEEFF that. Use the report function and let the mods do the work to correct the "newbs" who get out of hand. Applications and rep just makes it worst due to people abusing it.

seriously, the whole application process is fucking stupid. a bunch of douche bags sit around and judge whether or not you are good enough to grace their site before they even have the chance to know you. they judge everything about you in 1 single post and you are either in or out. IMO, that is fucking retarded. just do what this cat said and report extreme idiocy to the mods.

To be honest the OP is a perfect example of why an application process might not be a bad idea.
Take his worthless post in this thread as an example:
http://zilvia.net/f/chat/298073-so-i...long-last.html
but as stated above, the report post button is definitely the best tool to help remove the tools.

This will not happen, period.

We're not elitists (the administration anyway), and we only really care about promoting knowledge and fellowship in the 240SX community. We realize that many newbies will join, and someday those newbies may grow to become knowledgeable members. For sure, some will pride themselves on their newbieness and embrace failure, but most people will learn and grow.

It's the job of the community to assist in this effort by helping the noobs to learn via the time-tested methods of not spoonfeeding, instructing noobs to search, and posting informative and accurate articles and replies.
Some flaming is permitted, sure, but we must still strive to be civil to one another, as EVERYONE is a noob at some point.

So, keep reporting shitty posts, and remember that each post you make will be interpreted as your definitive answer on a matter.

And your application would be revoked.
