First: A incarnate of the POLL system some other boards are equipped with. Perhaps when someone is going to be banned we could do yes or no polls. Add and opinion as to the reasoning you wish to convey.(Things these people had done to deserve a ban) This UBB version does not support Poll to my knowledge, if a upgrade is available that supports it, cool.
Second: One more forum in the business isle. Good Deals/Bad Deals forum. Which people can post stags for scammers, or to help others in case someone's money gets taken. There should also be and IFCC link at the top of this forum. Also, this would be a place for warnings and other scenario's of a soon to be scammed member.
Note:My idea is this: When someone posts a rant they tend to drift to pages people do not see, as some are the most popuilar topics, others may get lapsed and this results in danger to others dealing with "X person". Also with the Good Deals/Bad Deals forum things will keep more on track and be seen better by the members.
In advance to this you can keep the selling section strictly as selling.
Member Names: Some people tend to choose a Nick name that will not suit them later. Perhaps I were to register as Geese Howard, then in a few months I adapt more to like another character. So with that said, every six months or so have a single day for new names to be swapped for older ones.
A general list of what is allowed, what you will be flamed for, and what is not.
This list could be on the front page, a guidelines section perhaps. Many people are banned or deleted. With no standards set to let them hide behind this they will feel the need to whine about it. The list could protect the community at large before they ruin themselves unknowingly.
Let me make and example: "Why you will be flamed" list. This is one compiled mass list. If you were to post Hardcore pornography outside of the warroom then that would be listed in things that are not allowed.
This idea is not held with a communist or seperatist outlook, just simple fair guidelines. Not meant in bad faith, but meant to help.
Some things that should be noted and put on strict attention: Porno, Death Threats, etc thing. These should result in a one day suspension and on second offence a banishment from this board. People have the warroom to fall back on.
Spam: This is the biggest issue and I honestly think it is over rated. The general consensus is that one person will follow the other. There should be no hiarchy of who can spam and who cannot. I feel that member numbers should be done away with, as many have said in the past. Only if this is possible. Post count as well, since it pretty much fuels people to have a garnered status in the eyes of others.
Respect by others seems to be the main problem, and this respect leads us away from the reason we are here.
