    We'll let you guess what to study.

    "turn Artists' Corner into Hentai Haven" and "Spat is emo" are not valid feedback threads.

    Is this thread still open? I solved the problem at hand all the way back in post #3.

    The only problem with that is that no one worth flaming properly would post then Psy

    The only possible thing that I might see being done is making the FAQ be displayed more prominently and be more easily accessible (3 clicks is way more than I expect most newbies to do).

    Or we could make newly registered members read the FAQ and take a test on it to be able to log on.

    And the great thing is, even if it is multiple choice or true/false and really easy, it still requires them to have knowledge of the rules. I mean we could do something like this:

    "Is it all right to post porn? Yes or no"

    "Is it all right to flame others? Yes or no"

    Etc. etc.

    Throw in a few reversed questions for good measure so they can't just select one for all of them and we're good to go.

    I put about as much trust in users to read the FAQ as I do for users to not post porn. In other words, even if they are forced to read the FAQ, I highly doubt they'll give a crap. They'll post their ads and porn anyway. You think these people are here to stick around? You're misled.

    That quiz is a silly idea, because it means less people would join the forums, and so less people would click/see ads, and so Cid would make less money.

    You want Cid to become bankrupt and be forced to live on the streets as a prostitute and eat rats just so you don't have to edit out advertising links? Shame on all of you! SHAME ON ALL OF YOU!
