For those of you who think it would be full of spam: how is it that hilariousandco’s ideas of removing signatures completely for lower ranks seems a good idea and to allow them on the Ivory Tower for one month where only members and above can post, seem such a bad one? I think it is pretty much the same.
They're
completely different. My suggestion stops those lower ranks from getting paid to post
completely because they've turned the forum into a shitheap. Your suggestion is we allow them to get paid to post in a board that was created for the
exact opposite of that and turn that into a shitheap as well.
I had the idea that there would obviously be much less spam than on other sections, and I thought it could show that the problem is not paid signatures but mostly lower rank signatures. The higher the rank, the less spammers.
The spam issue is from both lower ranks and having a signature. Put them together and you have disaster. Allowing them another board to spam in isn't the solution to anything but more paid signature spam, and in a board that was created for the express purpose to be free of that.
How is it not working? Clearly it is working if it's not full of sig spam.
I don’t think theymos wanted such low traffic on that board when he opened it.
Theymos and others wanted some boards that were free of signature spam in there, you know, what you're now suggesting we do to liven the place up a bit. That board having low traffic isn't an issue at all. The purpose of it is to have a place for sig-free unmonetised discussion and it mostly works in that respect. That board doesn't need traffic. It's a sig-free discussion board. The lack of posting in there only proves that the majority of people only post here for signature campaigns, but that was already a given.
The bad thing is even Jr. Members below or even Members (I just guessing 'cause I really don't know) that has knowledge and might be interested on a topic can't reply to it. Hope even allowed it to example in my rank to post out there I don't mind my signature not to be seen.
The Ivory Tower is meant to keep people like you out. You can post in every other board or your local language one if there's something you want to discuss.
