Registrations will remain closed to the public throughout June, 2022.

Not much of a choice.

He could have the site plastered with all kinds of gross coomer porn like RetardEra or 4chan.

Just moderate the fuck out of newfags until they get their shit together. I always enjoy a pithy moderator note on a post when someone says something stupid. I also think that the community polices itself. Just post something retarded and enjoy the show.

 

[awoo]

that reminds me that every time I've tried to create a pirate bay account to share some obscure music or movies it's always closed registration. I think I managed to register once but it still didn't let me upload because the site broke or something.

I do not notice that because I have ReseteraClear+

C'mon man, you're an oldfag, you've been around long enough to know that Null has been banned from payment processors, making such a registration fee near impossible to implement unless you only want cryptobros joining your site.

Also paying for accounts did not stop SA faggotry. Spergs will dump as much money as needed to post I'd they feel strongly about it.

I'm aware, but crypto is an option.

And charging for accounts certainly DID filter out a massive number of bots and children from SA. But now it's worthless, because it's filled with middle-aged autists and trannies with credit cards and it's no longer a cool place to join

The goal isn't to create a pure space, but to reduce new registrations by 80% while building up more servers and internet tubes

I've always thought that punishments should be really depending on how the user has used and interacted with the site, it's an easier sell to permaban some tiktok 14 year old retard who joined just to shitpost and ruin threads compared to a user who actually makes good posts regularly and may have fucked up with a post or two.

if you join a site and immediately act like a sperg then you're probably not going to be worth keeping around,

 

[Polexia Aphrodisia]

Making newfags do obnoxiously long surveys and jump through all kinds of hoops just to be able to make an account and post is just going to completely stunt the growth of the site. IMO it's better just to regulate the flow of registrations, cut them off when necessary, and just cull all of the retards early on. Maybe add some kind of feature for mods to see only newfag posts so that dumb aylawgs get eradicated before they establish themselves. Oh, and encourage the use of the report feature with good boy points from the jannies that can be redeemed for headpats.

If they won't read surveys and hoops then they won't read long OPs and will shit up threads endlessly with bullshit like "omg guys is Russell Greer mentally retarded? Has he ever been evaluated by a therapist? What's the name of his condition? Did he really sue Ariana Grande? Lol incel he should just pay a hooker"

Sticker sidenote:
Stickers are helpful for newfags by letting them know what the community thinks of certain post responses. Especially because what flies on other sites doesn't fly here. For instance our powerlevel policy makes this place far more tolerable than comparable drama sites since you aren't getting cunts bragging about how they're totally mommy of the year and here's why.
edit: and unlike plebbit I don't know who here might be trans

Something Awful was always a shithole and everyone who came from there is shit.

Throw newfags into a containment thread to beat each other up until they learn the site culture. The account with the most stickers at the end of each week gets to join the rest of the site.

Yes. I second this. Like a trial by fire, if they can survive being called niggers and faggots for a week then they earned the chance to be kiwis.

I for one would prefer that we throw the newfags into and arena and watch them violently fight to the death. Whoever gets the most kills gets to join the site and we get to purge a small bit of the world of retarded people. It's a win/win situation!

 

[Justin d Tipp]

Wait, how do you actually get banned from this site? Because that's fucking awesome. I see people posting all kinds of slurs, hate speech, sexually explicit imagery, and engaging in cyber bullying.

Free speech is cool. I feel like this is one of the last places left for it. But, is it just spam that's frowned upon here?

I re-read the terms and conditions. Seems vague enough to be legit.

As a recommendation I would flesh out the glossary a bit more and have a new account quiz based on that.

Also, does anyone know what the sigil is at the very bottom of the home page?

All of my questions are 100% un-ironic and not rhetorical.

 

[Sir Dank-a-Lot]

Once the new technology I’m working on is fully developed (DPoIP, or Dick Punch over IP), I believe that all of our troubles will be history.

 

[Illuminati Order Official]

But, is it just spam that's frowned upon here?

Spam, repeated failtrolling, doxing users without staff's permission, illegal stuff, pozloading negholes (using the forum to troll lolcows) - those are the usual offenses ending in a ban.

Nah, in the first half of the 2000s it was pretty comparable to kiwifarms

 

[RobertPaulson]

Most of the ideas here seem way too finicky to be enforceable. I think the only way to force new users to lurk would be to enforce post limits but that might stop people who actually have something to contribute from sticking it out. It would have annoyed me when I first signed up if I was immediately treated like a retard (even though I am).

 

[FightenGnome]

I am re-opening registrations on July 4th.

Did you get permission from the Australian and New Zealand governments first before you decided this?

 

[zero-who]

Also, does anyone know what the sigil is at the very bottom of the home page?

It's the Secret Seal of Solomon, as depicted in the Lesser Key of Solomon.

 

[Sir Dank-a-Lot]

This is simple. Post a “Goofus and Gallant” just like in the old “Highlights” magazine.

Goofus: He’s a faggot who can’t be bothered to spend 30 seconds searching for an answer before asking the question. Posts stupid shit; should be sent back to Reddit, but punched in the face first for being a retard.

Gallant: He’s one suave nigger. His posts add something to the conversation. He reads before posting. He has an 8 inch dick and is fucking Goofus’s girlfriend while Goofus’s mom is eating his ass. Gallant is a motherfucking forum Chad.

I think the only way to force new users to lurk would be to enforce post limits but that might stop people who actually have something to contribute from sticking it out.

The best solution is to copy gacha mobile games like Genshin Impact.

Give users slowly regenerating "energy" and posts cost energy. If they want to post more than five times a day, they have to buy more energy.

People wanna give stickers? They gotta buy a lootbox and hope they get the stickers they want. Tophats are 1% droprate, but with pity. You're guaranteed a MATI or Autism Puzzlepiece for every 100 loot boxes you buy.

Avatars can only be used from the avatar cash shop. All those animu waifu posters are gonna have to pay up.
