Well, TTG has gone FAR downhill...its getting pretty bad now...but I think I have come with a way to at least fix part of it...
Right now, one of the biggest problems is people posting in the wrong sections...when I mention they posted in the wrong section on their threads I usually get "I posted here because no1 checks the other sections" and occasionally "stop trying to be a mod nub!" (but thats besides the point)...
anyway, if the reason they post in the wrong section is because every1 else does...you need to put a stop to that...
right now, when something is in the wrong section...it gets closed...thats stupid...then people see it (dont even notice it is closed) and go, "hey, this must be where i post this type of thread because its here"...and they post it there...then that gets closed and now theres 2 of that type in the wrong section...
What needs to happen, is whenever something is int he wrong section, it should be MOVED! And then, to ensure that the threadmaker doesnt make it again, a PM should be sent to them enforming them of exactly what they did wrong...
---------
Sidenote: I could provide the mods with a shortcut program that I have that could enable the mods to have pre-written PM's...for instance:
/modresponse-bump would make it where it says some response specifically made for when people bump prematurely....i have this set up on RuneCore using the badword-filter...but I have an actual program that would work just as good
----------
Anyway, in order to keep track of how many offences each person has, whenever a mod see's that a member has broken a rule, he can warn them (using the built in IPB warn system) without giving them a punishment...while doing this, the mod can send a PM (through the warn system) telling them what they did wrong (either manually or using my program)...
then, they have a 10% warn that, when clicked on, will tell the mod exactly what the offence was...then, if they break another rule, they will know it is the 2nd offence, and can check the new Official TTG Rules and Punishments thread to see exactly what the punishment for the 2nd occurence of that specific offence is...
----------
If you think about it, it is a good system...it will take time to get everything bakc on track...and it might take an extra 102 minutes each time a mod see's a rule being broken...but it will gradually restore TTG...
I have already said this system to each of the mods and they have all responded with "no, im too lazy", "thats not my job", "im not going to do that, it would take forever" or somethign of the sort...
But maybe if they see you all supporting the idea, it will change their minds...
SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE...TTG is falling apart...
