There would be less motivation to make multis if they don't have a clue what's going on.

Is there no way of banning banned members from seeing chat and games as well?

There may be, I'm pretty sure you can ban members from certain areas.

Well i think you're one of very few members who'd view C&G before the main BB forums, and banned member (or perm banned members) can't view the forum, usually it comes up with a notification which says you're banned and aren't able to view the forum

When you're banned temporarily sometimes you're blocked from seeing the site entirely unless you log out.

Is that not the case for permabans?

I'm quite sure if we do a ban via the control panel they cant see the forum fullstop. However, at the min all it takes it to log out of the banned account and they can see again

They can view it if they clear their cache/cookies or with an incognito tab though.

I think the post count thing is a good idea. When it comes down to it, it's a big brother forum, not a chat and games one, so members will be joining for big brother purposes (most likely).

And once they have made enough posts the can enjoy the benefits of other parts of the forum.

I think this will do more damage that good. When you first join you wanna get to know the other posters and the best place for that is c&g and not being able to go in there will make it even harder for new members to integrate, also It would encourage people with more posts too look down at those with fewer posts coz c&g would bee seen as some sort of exclusive club.

Glenn. · 27-03-2015, 08:52 PM

I'm all for this is and I was also going to mention what Vicky said about the checks before the account is activated. A lot of forums do this.

It only has to be 5 or 10 posts, I know some forums have 100 or something and I agree that is OTT.

If it's something like 5 posts then it's not very much or blocking them out for very long.

Just enough to detect a spam or multi account.

Just don't log out then

In all honesty I don't know what is happening on here half the time, actually make that most of the time, if it is affecting members that much then James has to do something about it.

As above. I don't post personal stuff or pics so it doesn't apply to me.

You can get to know members in the lobby. That's where you introduce yourself. By then you'd have accrued enough posts to enjoy C&G

As soon as you join you're able to view it, and then after a small amount of posts you'd be allowed to post in there too

I bet 99% of people who joined the site that joined the site posted in the BB/CBB/IAC (whatever show was airing) first before they even looked at C&G

Yeah but no one really goes in there is dusty and gathering webs.

Glenn. · 27-03-2015, 08:55 PM

Doesn't everyone that comes to the forum join because of whatever tv show is airing? I did.

Well that could be part of the forum policy, when you join you make a post or a thread in the lobby introducing yourself

Isn't this the easy answer then?

jokes are general to friends... and you and I have never chatted or discussed anything in my recollection, so why are you pressing on something that had nothing to do with you

Yeah 5 posts is alright but what's the point? What's to stop a multi from posting 5 times then going into chat and games and causing drama? What's to stop a multi from causing drama in other parts of the forum?

Jokes with members who you have never spoken to are none of your business.
