Newbies shouldn't be allowed to PM! Check pg 16 - Page 6

Kal El, why don't they just put you up there as an admin?You have excellent suggestions. Vijay, are you listening? Please take all of this into account. This place should be safe for everyone. Way too many people have been violated already.

OMG, this situation is really horrible! I agree that some restrictions should be placed on niewbies, but I also agree that they shouldn't have too many restrictions, because I know a handful of people from fb who joined IF recently but got scared to log in again when all these restrictions were placed on them, because they could not do much until they became a groupbie and these members are not used to posting so much.

Make sure they are NOT allowed to scrap members until they've reached senior status... no point disabling PM feature if the scrap is still enabled.

No Somy.

Suppose I have taken a selfban and want my account back. I always have to make a new ID and PM and Global Mod to unban my profile. So if newbies are not allowed to send PM, how will I be able to communicate?

I think the PM box and profile of newbies should be accessible by Moderators. Or ten reports against a newbie should automatically have him blocked from PMing or posting. That way we need not wait for the GM to come and ban him or viewbie to block him.

1o-20 reports against a person and he should get blocked till the Moderator comes and solves the issue.

Hey friends,

I have discussed with Vijay about the suggestions mentioned here. We are considering the following options and need your inputs as well before finalizing a final solution.

Here are the options:

- Restricting the members post per day to 10 (its already implemented)

- They can not open new threads until they have become groupbie/senior member

- Posting picture/image and hyperlinks feature will not work until they become groupbie.

- Limiting their PM per day to 10 PMs

Or

- Newbie's will not be able to send PMs to random members, however they can send PM to friends on their Buddy List

(This feature may sound harsh to genuine newbie's and not everyone add newbie's as their friends so it need to be reconsidered)

Some of you had suggested members post should be viewable for the members on their buddy list but India-forum is a public forum hence this option cannot be considered. If anyone got any other suggestions then please feel to post it here.

Vijay will post the details tomorrow:)

The freak just struck again and this time attacked another member Heisenberg along with me. What is wrong with this psycho? Please do something about it. Its disrupting the peace of the BW CC.

Finalising colours for member hierarchy should come much later in your priority list, you know?

because it seems the top brass here is more concerned about updating Chaska Meter rankings and TV actor rankings.


It seems the admins/mods are more concerned about censorship on here rather than seeing to it that IF becomes a quality forum where members enjoy some degree of e-anonymity. Half the dead forums here are full of escort ads and troll threads by bots, but you guys do nothing about it.

If you can address the complaints by fans who weep buckets every time some TV celeb is bashed, I'm sure you can look into the privacy violations that surface on IF.

WORD!Can IF just stop all this nautanki regarding colourful usernames and all that shit and concentrate more on the privacy of the members?Make the My posts option private so that only the account holder can see his previous posts instead of these trolls and stalkers who come to only stalk from the previous posts!

The callous attitude of the admins in this site regarding privacy of members is annoying.Everrything else is fine...we come,we browse and we enjoy,but when a member's privacy is at stake,no one will come back to this forum again.

I keep getting these nasty PMs?! What are you guys waiting for! This is disturbing!
