Rules & other things for newbies and more...


I've brought together links to all things that newbies, and those who have been here longer may need to know, and might stop the same questions being asked repeatedly.

Referral links
This is contained within other links, but NO referral links are to be posted anywhere within these forums other than when a trade has been agreed within the trade section. When you have reached the top of a conga please either pm a mod with your link or report the post including your link in this, otherwise no links should be posted at all!

How about putting at the top of that post "No Referral Links Allowed", since people aren't likely to read through all the links.

I've seen this on a few other forums. Some even show a pop-up warning the user that they're not allowed to post links. Maybe you could also add that ref links are allowed in the message bit so people too lazy to read the rules but who may go on to be good members aren't put off by so many bashing posts.

Think that's a great idea. I've seen it on other forums were you can't post any links until you've made so many posts or/and been a member for a certain amount of time. Can't believe something like this has never been suggested before (or maybe it has?). Think it would definately help get rid of any 1 post spammers!

Very good, but i think the exceem staff page needs to be updated - theres more mods arent there (cant think, but im sure theres more!!)??

http://www.exceem.co.uk/forums/infor...eem-staff.html

As for links i think a automatic link edit for new/low post count members would be good, but could lead to more spam as they attempt to get their link up by reposting it a few times!

That's a good point, is kind of a catch 22 situation...
