Author Topic: idea for getting new gtm members (Read 3830 times)

I have an idea to get new members or lurkers to post more.
when a member gets from ant to beetle or beetle to lightweight they should get something awesome like a custom component.
This will influence more spam but it can also minimize it at the same time.
If somebody(not Somebody) gets caught spamming or bumping they will get that prize taken away from them.
this message is mostly for admins and moderators, but comments from normal members would help a lot for making this idea even better!

I really don't think that will work...

why not?

Because there is no way to take the prize away. They put it in there game and unless you infect your computer with a virus, there is no way to get rid of it.

hmm... a virus... how about a spambot for their computer that we control?

Using bait (a custom component) to motivate people to post isn't really the ethics of the administrative staff, plus that doesn't ensures quality posts, rather encouraging useless posts.

So your idea can't be made better, but i'm sure we can find a way to make it worse...

ooh. ouch. that's cold...

Like you're mum in bed. See Roboman? Who wants to see a post like this one? By doing your idea then the forum would be full of meaningless, pointless posts like this.

Is there such a virus that can do that? I don't actually know all that much about viruses, but I know how to spell entire. =P

Well it can appear and disappear?

Doomkiller · « **Reply #18 on:** July 12, 2009, 06:05:13 AM »

It could still be detected and delelted.....

Seriously guys, this is a very silly idea and besides, even if somebody did try to give them a virus they have to accept it first. They're not very likely to do that are they?
