Well.. i have an idea.. maybe a sort of begging forum for people who like to beg for items... since it's a very popular thing to do these days with a bunch of newbs who want to have 1337 items so tell me what you think. if there was this forum there would surely be many more members because they would post here often i bet and with all the duped items going around i don't think it would be much of a fuss to get items.

I would also make it that every person has 1 beg per 100 posts or so...

it's kind of a "reward" for posting in the forums.
And if they attempt to spam toomuch the mods+ will just delete their posts anyway and they will recieve warnings/bans.

what do u think? post below and vote up.

...it will increase the amount of spamming.

This is why we hire supposedly good moderators, so we can stop this.. if the mods do their jobs then spamming wouldn't be an issue.

I agree with Boo~Hoo.
And plus it creates an extra strain on the mods who already do alot for this forum.

Hehe.
It isn't a bad idea.
But "1 beg per 100 posts", what do you mean by that?
Like, 1 item per 100 posts? Or 1 Begging post per 100 posts?

Shameless newbs might post in the World Record thread and start begging tho...something to think about.

Well.. currently the mod's job isnt too hard... and mods are on throughout the whole day.
And sup mods pretty much mean extra mods for this section.. so thats the forum's current amount of mods + the amount of sup mods.. personally i think the amount of mods/sup mods we have could easily handle this.

How about every 500 posts = 1 item ?

Well.. this is more like a reward to post and not constant begging.

It will work only if you setup some new position like "Givers"...hehe.

Agreed, and the beggars would far outnumber the givers.

Vote: Bad Idea

And then we'll see many users come out of nowhere ^_^

In order for this whole thing to work, you'll also need to setup some kind of fundation...and people donate stuff to it or something.

Maybe not a bad idea, but not too possible to take in actual practice.

that's why i said that the items should be duped and then the problem for finding the items is.. not there.
