Marigold Devin Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I think certainly the initial posts created by those new to these forums should be pre-read and vetted by moderators! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scylla Rhiadra Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I've known some pretty obnoxious Premium members. I think the only answer is to restrict posting to Lindens and moles. It's the only way to be sure. 4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Corvinus Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Posts like that happen all the time on forum sites. At least that one was deleted pretty quickly. Theres soooo many forums riddled with that and spam junk. This is by far one the cleanest forums ive been on. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimmi Zehetbauer Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Some mboards make a person wait 24 hours to 3 days before they can post. And one board I'm on --- a new member first 15 posts are moderated before they have free reign. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the latter is likely to require more person-hours than LL wants to devote to this place, while the former means that someone posting here because they need immediate assistance with a problem wouldn't be able to. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colleen Criss Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 This gives me *get off my lawn* vibes. In my RL I live in a really snobbish town and they never want any affordable housing or senior living, because *traffic is horrible already* and I don't want to tell you how they cater to those who are/might end up homeless BUT lets not give them a chance at a place to live. It's horrible. The only warming station I know of is ONLY open on the most bitter cold nights. I lay awake at night wondering about those parents and children . BUT lets make things exclusive. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can't make a post as soon as I register (the reason for registering), more than likely I will forget its existence by the next day. Or found what I was looking for elsewhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceka Cianci Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I'm just happy that we don't get the bot spam like we used to.. The forums are pretty tame nowadays compared to other versions. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamela Galli Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I don’t see much problem handling new posters — most are perfectly well behaved, and those that are not pretty quickly run into the brick wall of acceptable forum etiquette. Some people are just not aware that there is such a thing, although some are well aware and are here just to troll, in which case the mods handle them fairly efficiently. I just don’t see that we need such a layer of protection from unruly new posters. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dafadilia Wayfarer Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Yes, because alienating a large portion of any community never has negative backlash. I don't see this as a beneficial idea as a premium member. This would actually make me consider dropping both my premium memberships since I don't really care for the idea of making anyone feel left out. In the grand scheme of forums this is a pretty peaceful and helpful one for the most part. All forums get a few trolls or rude individuals. Linden Lab deals with these pretty quickly from what I've seen over the years.

Claireschen Hesten Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I remember once upon a time the official forums were restricted to premium members for contributing at the very least and most people just used the Xstreet forums which became this. The forum is fine as it is i wouldn't choose to go back to segregation based on being premium or not 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
