Boswell Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 It seems to me that lately the number of new members in nmc is greatly increasing but the number of people being validated is not. As the sport of trials biking becomes more popular more people are going to join this forum and put strain on the system. Will the forum have to change?

yoyoyo Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 No.People just need to learn how to spell and follow the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Dig Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 They cant just validate people because their are more of you in NMC. People will get validated once they prove they have something valuable to contribute to the forum i meen thats like letting poeple out of jail because more new people are going into jail. Out of interest what do you suggest they do to the site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest what do you suggest they do to the site?Well thats what they seem to be doing at the moment!"We sentence you to life imprisonment in maximum security"Translation: "25 years growing flowers, and you get sky T.V, we'll do your washing for you, feed you, and its all free!"How much is is costing tax payers to keep prisoners? They should make the prisoners work inside prison to earn their keep, rather than charging us lot.Prisoners can answer phones can't they? An answer to the lack of UK based call centers!

An answer to the lack of UK based call centers!True but you know what i meant its theoretically like letting them out before there time is done just to allow new people in. But yeah jail is a joke these days it would seem. Well MR? think this shows that you're post was so stupid and unnecessary as weave gone totally off topic now.

moto_psycho Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Do you guys not see that a prisoner isnt gonna say "hello British Telecom, how may I help you" more like "F*** OFF YOU F***ING **** etc etc" I know I'd be a bit angsty behind bars Also, answer to the main question, there are always other trials forums, I did find a really good one ages ago but I've lost it now . A problem with this one is a lot of people seem to have that "STFU N00B" attitude, instead of just shutting up and leaving it. Although there are very many helpful people aswell!

sam-cahill Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I dont see why it needs to change if there are more people in the new members then posts will be more interesting and there will be more points of views so real begginers will learn more.

Bearded Midget Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 i think they will have to get more moderators therefore validating more people. (i dont know if you have realised but if you go on to the members page there are people who have not posted anything and they are members. seems rather silly to me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mods aren't paid to do thisSome names have a certain stigma attached to them for trouble they may have caused when they first signed up.

scousertrials Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Hi everyone. Maybe if this forum would be more tolerant to those who may have a learining disability that stops them from being able to spell correctly ect it would be a nicer place to be whilst on the net. And why do people correct each others spelling only to get thiere own syntax and spelling totaly wrong. I have relatives who have learning disabilities and I find it way out of order to use lables like spastic and mong as i've seen used on this forum.Is this a trials forum or a game of countdown?

JT! Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 There are loads of new members who are decent posters who slip threw the net.I think it does need to be change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 (edited) But there are quite a few people in NMC who deserve to get validated.About the spelling though, I would presume that somebody with a spelling problem would try quite hard to spell correctly, unlike somebody who just couldn't be arsed. And if such a person can't make an effort and write a legit post, why should 10 other members make an effort and reply to the topic?

Simon Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 There are loads of new members who are decent posters who slip threw the net.I think it does need to be change.I think the only way it can change is with dedicated people validating people. Not moderators, nor admins, just a team of validators who trawl NMC for the good poster.They also don't have the power to de-validated, as that comes down to a moderator or admin.Thats the only possible change i can see helping.This change has also already been discussed. Tom is moving or something, and Danny is work busy, but when Tom gets back theres a few new things that may help being rolled out, so maybe a validation team will be one of them.

wunderboy Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Translation: "25 years growing flowers"yeah but that could lead to people making plots to escape.. ^^I just thought that this was really funny In reality, I could find no less than 8 grammar and spelling errors on this page alone.Everyone cannot be validated immediately... Think about the fact that it would cause many problems in the wanted/sales forum alone if someone could join and put something up for sale right away.I don't think that it is a good idea. The mods are doing a good job with things; don't rock the boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 (edited) Can I ask why?mate, your trying to act like a fooking moderator, or the spelling bee or summit... whats the point? slating someone, over 1 stoopid word!! Your complaining that it pisses people off over a few little spelling misstakes... personally, i dont know 1 person that gets pissed off over someone spelling, "their" as "thiere"... But, i do get pissed off, when, someone like yourself, trys to act mint and slate him for it... So why bother?

RobinJI Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I think it works fine really. Everyone I know who's sound in real life and has signed up has in time been validated. I suffer from dyslexia, but its still no excuse to spell badly all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 (edited) Haha! Chill out...I'm not trying to act like "a fooking moderator"I wasn't slating him over one word at all, I was playing. And I said that I didn't get pissed off over a few mistakes. If you read what I wrote, I was on about the crap posts (as in, a combination of spelling, grammar etc)I informed the guy of the spell checker, and when he said he didn't have one, I pointed him in the right direction.At no point in any of my posts have I ever tried to "act mint and slate" someone, so please, if you are determined to be a cock, do it somewhere else Edited March 16, 2007 by Monkey Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
