TRF newcomers shouldnt be allowed to post threads IMO.

Something else that you could do is what we do on the Rugbyrefs forum.

New members are given an "L" plate as an avatar and cannot change it until they move into the Registered Members group. This makes it immediately obvious to everyone there is a NKOTB.



New Members have to make 10 posts before they lose the L Plate, unless they are moved into the Registered Members group before that by an Admin

(We a have a "Referees only" section, and you cannot get into unless you can show that you are a bona fide Referees Society/Association member)

See what I mean, already its happening.

Kind of cool though that this person has provided a link to stream the game, I know were not suppose to but I think its a good thing.

Will it be a good thing when the forum gets a massive fine?

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah, that was a spambot, not an actual person - just a piece of code that finds forums related to certain keywords and then spams links on there

No, of course not but that just goes back to what I was saying about newcomers allowed to post threads. As long as the newcomers can, then TRF is liable, thanks to this new info about TRF getting a massive fine. I honestly didnt know about the fine but that just further accomodates my proposal.

LOL your very welcome.

Interesting reading. Although I consider myself a newcomer, I was very worried to see new posters set up threads offering tickets.

Not that older posters are more reliant or that these new posters are dodgy and maybe it's just a normal reaction. But something to be careful of.

Isn't that why you have moderators?? So they can mod the forum and delete whatever crap is being posted??.

With the RWC and the Game coming out there have been loads of new topics with the majority asking questions or raising points that are either a) already asked or b) trolls ( a.k.a Jaws. From having modded a forum elsewhere its tough to remove and merge the crap/spam that's what I see the situ being.

[TRF_Olyy]

Believe me, we deal with a LOT of spam and dross etc.

You'd certainly notice if we stopped getting rid of it all
