Nigel,
Check out the board that is used for Sneaker Planet. I'm part of it, and it works this way. People register for free and read everything they would like to. However, to see pictures, you have to pay a token fee which helps pay the cost of the server. There are way more posts now than when it was totally free. Apparently there can be different levels of membership and control over what is posted. Plus, this particular board is broken down into components so the wet dress people don't have to mingle with the jeans crowd. Just a thought, check it out.
later, Andrew
PS. We only have happy posters there, nobody ever seems to get upset. |
In reply to Message (23063.5) Thanks for your long support
By Nigel - nigel@wetlook.com Sat 17/06/06 15:32:55 GMT Website: www.wetlook.com I have various ideas in the pipeline about the forum, but I don't have much time these days, so it may be a while before they are implemented:
1 OPTIONAL registration (with multiple names). You will still be able to post as Anon as well, but registered users will have their posts 'enhanced'
2 Registered users will be able to give feedback ratings on posts - so giving self-moderation, rather than letting 'the few' decided what is what. The system will be a combination of eBay style feedback, and Google style promotion. e.g. the more 'good' posts someone has done, the greater the value of their feedback points.
3 Registered users will also get picture upload space, and a 'homepage' on the site.

In reply to Message (23063) Forum Rule 4.2 - Some thoughts
By Andrew - Sat 17/06/06 13:30:27 GMT I've been on this forum since 1998 (back then it was on Bravenet, then Nigel made a new one for us) and I must say I don't like the way the Internet is going based on this forum. The number of contributores has increased, but not much. Many of the old ones where offended to many times and left. I always was a looker, contributed only a few times, with just a few of my own sets and some finds. But I NEVER posted negative comments and I can't understand why people here are so mean. Even the best photos get less then 10 (and usually only 2-3) positive comments. But negative comments, against rule 4.2 can be found on every page of the archive in large numbers, though Nigel despite his jobs tries to delete them. I mean people, hit yourselfs in those dumb heads before flaming someone! People like different things and diversity is important and keeps this forum going. So the next time when one of you wants to post some of the following... turn of your PC instead and go to a fountain, make some photos, put them up on Webshots, post the link instead. It can easily be done everywhere in the world, with the possible exception of Saudi Arabia, so it's really hard to find an excuse not to ;-P
PLEASE stop posting the following - goes especially to Anonymouses or half-Anonymouses:
-> "bad quality" posts -> "boring" posts -> "not my kind of clothes" posts -> "fat girl / whale" posts -> "i think they are underage" posts - because in 90% of the accusations they are not -> "this is porn" posts - because in 90% of the accusations it is not -> whining about sponsors posts etc.
This forum has more then 2000 users and only some 50 contributors among them. And many more flammers. Get a grip people. The net IS NOT THE place to let your frustration run with you. If you don't like a post, just DON'T POST ANYTHING.
I know I can't bring back the atmosphere of the end-of-the-90s mostly free and happy-go-lucky Internet, but still, if this post stops one troll from posting a negative comment I still think it's worth it.
Andrew.
