What would you do?

You're not allowed to ban or unban members, coz posting stuff like that is gonna cause arguments :nono:


But you can mod/demod, scrap rules etc

:amazed:

*Decides to reply seriously*

Shurules:
1) Swear filter a go-go
2) +1 posts (no -1s)
3) Replace the majority of emoticons with a set that's complete and matching
4) Get someone less important than myself to come up with a selection of skins
5) Filter the words 'banter', 'legend' and 'epic'.
6) Increase the capacity for avatars a teeny bit (and compensate for this by disallowing animated signatures)
7) Add a couple of games to the Arcade
8) Scrap the MusicBox
9) Make my posts all appear in a dazzling glittery purple
10) CHANGE THE BLOODY FORUM LINKS IN THE FOOTER, AT THE VERY LEAST TO RELEVANT HOUSEMATES.

I'd bring back karma with just the +1 option, it encourages people to make good posts rather than spam ****e and it's a good way of recognising who has something valid to say and who doesn't on the forum.

I actually really like that idea. But I worry we'd see certain members just fill their posts with swearing, and reading a post full of starred out words is just infuriating.

Well there was a time limit on it so you could only do it once every 3 hours IIRC so you'd essentially be a total saddo to do it; but it was quite good as a prize for forum competitions and the like before we had the award icons system - somebody wins something and the organiser ups their karma for their next 10 turns or w/e.

it conveys a sense of carefree joie-de-vivre, but at the same time an informed whiff of direction. The way the beret flaps in the wind also suggests adventurism, but I think that's slightly undermined by the naivete of its eyes. The more I look, the less sure I am, but that's the wonder of it

Me neither, disrupts the thread even If I don't like them they might have contributed something significant to a thread/people would be quoting them

I only ignore people during Big Brother. Wouldn't do it to any of the regulars/off seasoners.
