An idea on bans

[phreakwars]

Heres something that would work, allow Premium members to ban members to the VISITORS room as a standard option, as well as regular members as a standard option, but let a standard members time out privalege only last 10 minutes, And can only be done by a Poll of 3 or less respondants) and can only do this to standard members. If a standard member has to get a 2 out of 3 voye at the poll, then himself, and the person he wants to ban can cancel out ech others vote, and have to rely on another members vote, or be sent into the "PISS POT" himself. Premiums can do this for say like 1-8 hours, so they can give members a time out without voting.

 

Or allow silence restrictions too, where the premium member can block a member from responding to a post they had started. Or choose to accept regular members answers (pre approval) only by way of RANK system.

 

This would mean redesigning the rank system to be based on FEEDBACK of other members. A way to let fellow posters say who is good at debating and who is lame. Low ranking idiots can always be subject to disposal into the GUEST lounge, which could be renamed to something else more catchy to the viewer. Like say, the "PISSED POT"

 

The guest area "PISS POT" could be that dreaded area of BBS that goes back OLD SCHOOL style. NO HYPERLINKS, NO FONT OPTIONS (use terminal), no post editing options, total censorship on all words, etc..etc...you could pull off some pretty funny fights in the guest area and keep it clean and entice more members this way.Keeps your repetitive jerk bandwidth down too. And to be even funnier, you could make the "PISS POT" google news style posts where they have to click on the posters name to view the post response....something sarcastically cheesy that really sucks to use.

 

Like say repeat bans by different members and not only one will result in I.P. being blocked. Then nobody come come in and reregister under another name. Unless they are at a different location.

 

And like I said, only allow PREMIUM members to start a guest room topic.

 

The end result, is your premium members will be paying you for the right to have a very relevant debate, while those of a lesser rank work to be included in Premium debates by way of member voting. Scum posters will be sucked into the "PISS POT" void by other members. Forcing them to post relevant posts in order to assend rank and privalege.

 

Then you could make it even more interesting by allowing premium members the ability to buy the (GF) bucks for "X" amount of money to shut other premium members up to. Or some other form of a twist to the BBS system that lets someone pay you to be a Debating Bastard with all the money.

 

AH I GOT IT !!!! STROKE, WHO HAS STROKE

 

I got the bucks, I got the rank, I have stroke over you.. HA HA, I love it.

 

You could even allow members to buy "MY 2 CENTS WORTH" type posting privlages for like say 50 post points for a buck.

 

And can only use the money in posts where they qualify with the required rank, more dollars used will buy you a step higher into the rank needed. Like say, the post requires you have a rating of 65% or better and a 10 member approval to answer, you could use your "2 CENTS WORTH" against your rating by say 5 points each 2 cents used, so if you ranked 45%, you would need to use 4 of your "2 CENTS WORTH" points to equal a 65% or better ranking to respond to a poll.

 

But what you would be doing is creating a chat world based on Power and Prestige, much like the real world, yet let the little guy have his say too.

 

I'm having evil thoughts of this web page. Slap me.

 

But creating controlled chaos is fun.

 

Have you concidered a LIVE CHAT java app for Premium members that guests can't view, members can view, and only Premiums can use.

 

It lets web surfers WINDOW SHOP at the start of the page, to some of the Chaos that goes down, It lets members have a taste of being a tad evil,It lets Premium members choose to debate on there own terms without stupid remarks from other wannabe members with a screen name.

 

And the level required to participate in the site is kept in check at the door by debaters battling the way to the top,The members need to debate each other relevantly or face there own punishment. Only show like the last 10 posts in the "Piss Pot" for any given topic.

 

Being banned to a forum where the only topics are those posted by Premium members, and are filtered and crummy, make some of the topics really far out too... Like

• 
  [ ]Which came first, the chicken or the egg,
  [ ]Who do you think you are
  [ ]GET OVER IT
  [ ]It's not my your fault daddy touched you there.
  [ ]Talk to the hand.
  [ ]Reasons I need to get a life.
  

Have them sticky as default rooms members can kick each other to.And rooms that Premiums can permanently ban members to until they pay to get back in.

 

So the idea is like, the better you are at debating, the better your chat experience on the site will be, you'll get picture posting privlages for paying, I don't like the thumbnail idea. An Avatar,(regular member avatars can be picked and changed by premiums) Profile picture, Banning privlages, Auto rank assention, member modification options,permanent ban options in posts you start as to who can respond, lets them delete the BANNED persons post, closes posts to general public and lamers. Mixed up in this, is the idea that you can get people to fight amongst themselves in there race to rank into a bigger or better forum debate. Like say, you wanna get into that Nigger debate uncensored, then you better rank high, like a 8 or 9 with a 10 member approval (got to have ten members rank you first before you are given an official rank) or either be a premium member

.or someone paying there 2 cents to get in on it.

 

Otherwise your only allowed to debate in a moderated, uncensored manor in the regular debate forums that do not have the rank restriction.

 

You could default Premiums only a 50% or better ranking block privalege, and charge them GF bucks to change the requirements, like a premiums 2 cents worth can buy him a 90% member approval only debate, and require the poster to have 100 or more posts.
