Vash_the_Stampede Posted July 12, 2005 Author Posted July 12, 2005 Not 'Stealing,' 'borrowing.' Good bye, auf wiedersehen, adiós, sayonara Gone
nkramar78 Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 Not 'Stealing' date='' 'borrowing.'[/quote'] Meh. Everyone 'borrows' from everyone else anyways. There isn't too much exclusive news anymore... Once one person posts something, it tends to spread rather quickly.
ATLien Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 I am sorry but there is no way to completely ban someone. I my best to trace when banned people create new accounts. Also as far as the reporting fights, spam, or other bad post to mods and admins. If you look right under the avatar of every post you will see [broken External Image]:http://www.linkinparkforums.com/images/LPF/buttons/report.gif this is a link to report individual post. Use it!

uwantme2b Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 I agree that perhaps we could do with another new mod or two. At the very least, it can't hurt to have a few more people keeping an eye on the place. As other people have said, we need more topics and more people posting, but I understand that it can be very hard to encourage people to start new topics. I've heard a lot of members complaining that LPF has gone very quiet. Perhaps people aren't sure what they may and may not post. I myself have on a few occasions not been sure if it's a good idea to start a topic I have in mind. Maybe it would be helpful to post up some clearer rules and guidelines? I don't know, and I'm not saying there's anything unclear about the old ones. I'm just trying to make suggestions. Also, I notice that there are an awful lot of Elite members who do not post anymore, or who only visit us every couple of months. Should they really be green with such a low level of contribution to the website? That is however just my personal opinions, although I hope it was of some use. http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/9b54002b9ea728de39c3770316d52169.jpg Shark picture by Graham Lambert Rep me please :-)
Hybrid Soldier Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 Most of those guests are bots. Also, I noticed something about the LPF awards the other day(right when LPB came back coincidentaly)....well, look for yourself, in the members list. As to suggestions, yes we need more mods, we need the promised main page, we need to automatically ban the people who have already been banned.....and all the other stuff people have said before. Well, besides the deleting accounts, we wont do that, there is no reason, ATLien has said it quite a few times.
Shadowed Heart Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 IP banns are not a good idea. I know I'm not the only one that uses the same cpu. as a sibling. If mine were to be banned because of Bret I would be pretty ticked. {Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.} http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/2f43bfab2b64268a8552c7de93432ec4.jpg Write "Love" On Your Arm.

Hybrid Soldier Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 ^They are a good idea for that reason, if your bro got banned, and you were still here, he could possibly go on LPF through you.
Shadowed Heart Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 My brother doesn't have LPF and Bret isn't that dumb. {Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.} http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/2f43bfab2b64268a8552c7de93432ec4.jpg Write "Love" On Your Arm.

ATLien Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 Ok, I am going to address these issues right now... Inactive accounts: First off let me ask you this, would you be more likely to take the time to register a a forum that has 4000 members, or 400 member? Most forums recieve more registrations if they have a good bit of user accounts. I know alot are not active, but why stop someone who might want to come back to the forum in the future. Look at Vahs, he went like 9 months inactive. If I had deleted his account he might not have come back. News/Portal: I would gladly add a portal to this site if I could find a group of respectful members that are willing to take the time to find news stories. If you would be willing ot then please PM me and I will put this together. Banning: There is no possible way to keep someone from coming to this site. I try my best keep an eye out for banned users who recreate accounts. It is hard though. Anyone here is more then welcome to PM me if they suspect a member is someon who has been banned in the past. Punishment: In the next few weeks, I will be entering a new punishment policy that is going to ban users for 1 week on there second warning/compalint. Then ban completely if they have a third warning/complaint. Inactiveness of LPF: Ok, I know this is a major problem, but there are a few things that are causing this all of which are out of my hands. One, it is summer, people are taking trips, people are outside more. Second, LP is not doing anything. They have no tour, no album, no news. Nothing! It is hard for people to talk about LP when LP has nothing to talk about. Adding mods: noted. I will add some in the near future. Some stuff is going on behind the scenses of LPF at the moment and they are delaying somethings I have wanted to do. Fighting/Spaming/Flaming: Next to every post is a [broken External Image]:http://www.linkinparkforums.com/images/LPF/buttons/report.gif icon. Click this to report post to me and the mods. If a member is causing problems, report his post. It is hard for just a few people to read ever single post made on this site. We need our members to make us aware of bad post. Keep them coming. I am always interested in what my members have to say. I am very much open to hearing what you all have to say. Atlanta Web Design http://www.ATLChris.com
Hybrid Soldier Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 Im interested to know why we have 3 new accounts that are clearly created for anoth LPF Awards, and yet we know nothing.

acdcrules04 Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 ummm.... maybe we could make the site look a bit flasher, cuz i've been a member for a while, and we have had the same design *shrugs* anywho, i'll think of sumthing else, i'll be back http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/bb2dcf01aaef6417df375864d8457158.gif myspace|peta2

Vash_the_Stampede Posted July 12, 2005 Author Posted July 12, 2005 Hybrid, You guys will know soon enough. Keza, The LPF awards are an awards ceremony dedicated to the members of LPF & various points. Good bye, auf wiedersehen, adiós, sayonara Gone
Hybrid Soldier Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 I figured, but I think we should know what you guys are doing, especially if you are far enough along to have an "lpf_awards_july" account.
Spike_1412 Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 ummm.... maybe we could make the site look a bit flasher' date=' cuz i've been a member for a while, and we have had the same design[/quote'] See Here How about a Site Shop thatsells t-shirts with linkinparkforums.com on, or have LP's albums, or have some remixes done by members of LPF on CD.

Vash_the_Stampede Posted July 12, 2005 Author Posted July 12, 2005 Excuse me, there is no underscores in that name. Okay, I'm done there. Yes, we have been working on them. No, we are not finished getting it all sorted out yet. When we finish getting everything sorted out, Hopefully by the end of the week, expect some serious talk about it. Good bye, auf wiedersehen, adiós, sayonara Gone
twilightcrimson7 Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 wow...I missed alot while I was sleeping, lol. well I'm impressed that so many people posted here. I wanna see all the members contribute to this, becuase we need a plan. most of us are clueless on what's going on...and it's been like this for a while... all I'm owrried about now is change, becuase thats what we need... http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/caa111db447cb1d28d713cebad979c8d.png ...:away and onward:...

Hybrid Soldier Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 Excuse me' date=' there is no underscores in that name. Okay, I'm done there.[/quote'] So i was mistaken as to which of the 3 accounts had underscores...whatever

twilightcrimson7 Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 ATLien brings up a valid point about the inactive members... we might not want to delete them... but, is there a way to maybe send a message through their email asking for their support? maybe some of them will get active that way... just a a thought http://www.sucksbbs.net/data/MetaMirrorCache/caa111db447cb1d28d713cebad979c8d.png ...:away and onward:...
