Killvion's right, if you want more people in the forum, the best way is with some more publicity, but reducing the posibilities to make people know where can they have a good time it's a bit annoying. And who knows, maybe those who join just to wear the LZ tag make some other guys to join, and maybe this other guys are interested in the forum, like me Come on, i even opened a topic some time ago, two days or so after i joined, and i plan to open more, because i like this forum. In fact, this is my first forum, and i want to stay here a lot of time, people in here are very kind and i haven't seen trolls by the time i'm here, so what else? Anyway i hope this can get solved soon.
I've seen one a week ago, wearing the LZ tag but was swearing all over the server and insulting everybody. (Perm ban)
I think it's a very good idea, cuz now people have to register on the forum and they have to make some posts. It really annoys me if people abuse the tag. They just have to go to the forum and register here. I think it's simple enough. It's not really complex, just try to advertise more on the servers and make an "how to" or something on the forum for the newbies (dunno if there's already one).
I was thinking for quite a while whether I should take the effort to reply, that I'm obviously in agreement with Killvions post. I think I've come to a conclusion now... +1 on Killvion
I think we should refocus. What does the community want ? Having more active people on the forum ? or/and avoiding players which are not involved in the community (via the forum) to wear the tag ? Each side have its own strengths...
Could you make it so it is 1 topic in the "introdice yourself" section? Thats what we have always advertised. 1 topic in that section would do it. Although, both sides have their advantages good points have been made for each, and it should probably be removed until it's been thought about a bit more.
I find it funny that by far the most people who responded in this thread agreed to whatever has been said. Even though the first time they agreed to something completely different than the second time. Headless flock FTW!
Maybe because the topic is not explicit. That's why I said "refocus". Both things are good but depends on what you wanna do.
Which then makes them a headless flock, as Killvion called it. @Topic: The decision whether we want this or not comes back to whether the |LZ| tag should be looked at as mainly advertisement, or mainly as an award. If it's some sort of award/reward/honor, then a few posts on the forums ARE a necessity. If it is, however, considered to express that you like Lethal-Zone then I don't really see the point in that plugin. Personally I'm fine with either. (Read: "I'm fine with either", and not "I don't care" )
We got this Necrofor guy to post here, and in turn lost maybe already a dozen people wearing the tag. Awesome.
I've been talking with bananahunter some minutes ago. It appears that he's been using the forums chat, thinking that it would be enough, but i told him that only topic comments count, and he was so scared :doubt: Anyway i still think this plugin may be useful, but a bit confusing. Wouldn't be better another thing? Like, for example, if a new user that doesn't even make a "hi" topic doesn't appear in the forums for, let's say 6 weeks, he gets auto-banned or something.
The plugin should give a popup or something when it chases the tag. Of all the things we offer for free I think it is nit much to ask for 1 lousy post considering most don't even donate. It's nice advertising to have people wear the tag, but I think it should be a privilege. We once said "say hi on the forum and you can wear the tag" this is still the case, only now we are enforcing it. If we loose a couple... So be it, if they can't make the time to go to the forum they should not be given the right to the tag too. It's not like we are asking people to donate 50 euro's for instance. It's ONE lousy post!
i was on the saxtoner server just now and it sayed [UNREG] in front of my name bug or something? because i linked my steam account to the forum and all
Well, i said hi, i have 10 posts, with this one 11, and the plugin still says i'm not allowed to wear the tag I don't mind if i can't, i'm not gonna die for not wearing it, i just think it's a cool add for my nick, but the plugin still needs some fixing. And the donations... well, there's a lot of time, maybe some day... maybe some day... 8)
