Hi guys, just one idea that I've been thinking of for some time. It is not allowing new forum members to post new articles for some time: a few days, a week or something. Let them read articles and get acquainted with the forum first. This _might_ help those "fallible" people because they will, hopefully, make less mistakes if they can't ask (then stupid) questions right away. Of course, you can't do anything with people who are _not willing_ to learn anyway...

Joe

Hmm, maybe start with a 24 hour waiting period before getting posting rights for newbies. Sounds good in theory and it would slow down alot of the crack addict A.D.D. warez kiddies.

Gamecopyworld and Fileforums make it quite clear when entering the site.
Gamecopyworld requests -

You are ONLY allowed to ENTER GameCopyWorld if you need information to make a backup of an Original Game CD of which you are the legal owner. By Clicking the ENTER button you agree with the above Notice!

As far as Fileforums is concerned -

The Official Board Rules. Read it or get banned. These state quite clearly -

1. No talking about warez - do not ask where to download warez, or how to get it to work. Instant ban applicable.
2. No requests for serials - if you bought the game then you own a unique serial. Use it!

It seems to be that unless instant bans are applied then you will always get illegal requests.
Instant bans are the punishment for flouting the rules.
That is exactly what happened when Swenske and zedy were moderators here
