Revoke FileHost/Payment Processor chatbox privileges

[Hawk]

Hey,

I don't think it is necessary to ban the whole group from using the shoutbox however we can ban those that break the rules as it clearly states "Do not advertise..". If you see them doing it again, remind them of the rule and if they continue report them using the report issue which can be found under the community links.

Regarding the file host / payment processor rank, we'll introduce rules on when a company member can apply for the rank.

Froomple, we do have restrictions in place such as a probationary group where members cannot post or create a thread in the marketplace zones or hosting sections. If you have any other suggestions, please make a thread, we'd love to read your suggestions.

Also, I would appreciate if we stuck on topic, we're discussing the use of the chatbox for file host / payment processor groups.

All they do is advertise, the usual "yes sir, we suck your dick too sir, of course sir, soon sir, oh my sir, of course sir".

Excuse me sir Relax sir, everyone have the right to sell his ass (in any way they can)

Well, it looks like, whatever they say, or whatever someone asks them in cb, is advertisement...because of that rank. If I ask paxum, about some paxum issues, do I advertise them? Or do they advertise themselves? Or does their name advertise them?
If they post a link to their site, as a direct advertisement, it's no different than any other member, that does same shit in cb. Rules, I don't think are any different for them, comparing to any other member here, when they break them.

The chatbox is only used by people who are extremely bored, which usually means that those people will troll for fun, the chatbox isn't a great place and shouldn't be taken seriously.

I don't think I've ever had a decent conversation with the chatbox, unless you count talking about weed then it has been somewhat semi-decent.

Now what would be awesome is if there could be chatrooms in the chatbox where it is invite only, now that would be worth joining, real conversations about real stuff.

I can't say them in public but their are requirements before a member can be nominated to be respected member/coder. They have stuff like min post count / join date. Now in practice anyone nominated usually is a member for ages and has way above the min requirements. After all that it goes to a vote.

The point is their doesn't seam to be ANY requirements to getting a filehost or payment rank. It's no harm ensuring the company has to be a minimum of 6 months old, even just 3 months which is nothing, before getting a rank.

The whole thing just isn't controlled better. Take this guy http://www.besthostingforums.com/member.php?u=45044
Like who the hell is he or what company does he represent? I personally think if they payment and filehost group were more controlled this topic wouldn't have arisen

If it is not a serious place then the members should not be banned for posting nude pics, warez stuffs or even abusing another member.

Sp32 I like you, but i want to point the same thing to other mods that chatbox is for fun and the mods take it too seriously

A little bit of teasing and they ban you for that, lol it is a serious place where pregnant ladies give birth to aliens. Yeah sounds no logic? Exactly the mods do the same even for typing in CAPS LOCK.

We'll apply the following rules when users are applying for the file host or payment processor rank;
- Domain must be registered for 5 months.
- You must be registered on KWWHunction for 1 month.

We may remove everyone from the groups and ask them to re-apply. If there are any other rules you'd like to suggest, please do and we'll consider them. Also, we could rename their user title to the file host / payment processor company they work for. The user legend is there for a reason.

C'mon guys The chatbox isn't somewhere to build a personality or judge someone by how they act in it. It's only for fun. Don't take the cb serious and if you get all gay about it like wanting to ban a particular rank from it, then don't use it

@ Hawk
Why you guys approve every new filehost that comes?

You should see there stability first and then see if users really need/like them, this way people will also get some confidence over there services.

And another way is by letting only one account for them rather than letting several guys under the same company.
