Possible additions to SRL forums.

Over the course of the last week, saw some pretty solid idea's that could be added to the SRL forums.

I decided to organize them all into one spot; if you have one that is not on list please tell me.

IMPLEMENTEDAutomatic PM
Basically it sends new users a private message along the lines of
--------------------------------------
[B][COLOR="DarkGreen"]Welcome to SRL! [/COLOR][/B]
[U][COLOR="Red"]Congratulations[/COLOR][/U] you are on your way to joining one of the best communities.

But first please take a peek at these helpful Q/A's, which should solve most of your problems.

How not to be a leech! (You will be liked a lot more!)

SRL Youtube Channel (Video tuts etc.) ***

Also take note, You should [B][COLOR="Red"]NOT[/COLOR][/B] apply to SRL members until you [B]created a working script[/B] [I](Doing otherwise, normally leaves a bad stigma for members who will vote you in.)[/I]
-----------------------------


Quiz for SRL members
Editing the idea, but.
Restrictions to posting in the apply to SRL section
1) 1 month since registering date
2) X amount of posts (50?)

Then a small 5 question quiz, after passing the quiz you have access to the open application portion

1) Something about SPS
2) Something about DTMS
3) Something about TPA
4) Something about an error of some sort
5) Do you have a script to apply with? (If you apply without a script, you will NOT become a SRL member).

(NO/ 2 admins agreed)Cleanse
Clearing all SRL members
Haven't researched the details yet.
Personal opinion:
I think it should be activity based, level of activity would be direct correlation to what happens after the rank clearing.

Verification
Verifying scripts

Personal opinion:
It seems like too much work, because we would need to verify after every update etc.
Celebration forum or Goals-Achieved
There's one of these already but it's limited to MSI. 

It should be for showing off accomplished goals in Runescape either from playing legitimately or through using Simba. Could be specific levels gained, amounts of profit earned, or items gained.

Rules Modification
(Although I don't want them myself, I have noticed at least 3 srl members who would like swearing to be allowed in the bbq section.)

I recommend everyone reading this topic:
http://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=73940

Although I am 100% against allowing swearing, there seems to be a disconnect going on.

New ranking order
(sin's idea)

We should have 4 Tiers.

Leechers -
Little to no post count, little to no coding knowledge.


SRL Junior Member -
small amount of scripting knowledge

SRL Member -
Us.

SSRL Member -
Godz.

I like this idea a lot, could create that atmosphere to improve to become a Junior Member or something.

Additions to Quick Links
"Add SRL youtube" to Quick links
http://www.youtube.com/user/SrlVillavu?
I figure this would be extremely helpful to new comers, as it has MANY of the core videos needed
for a new comer to succeed. This generation of Runescapers is more about sight than actually reading.

——-

That is it for now, find anything else/other ideas post them I will add them no matter what. (Please no silly ones.)

Support:P
You should add radial walk instead of sps tbh. Not that SPS isn't cool, its just radial was traditional requirement for yearss and requires more skill.

Could you explain what the purpose of this would be, exactly? I'm not very active, but I am constantly browsing the forums. I don't think activity should have anything to do with anything.

Its not about the actual member it is about people in the RID forums who are SRL members with actual scripting knowledge making scripts and selling them to people on these forums so they can use the scripts to apply. The old members are not the ones everyone is worrying about all they would need to do is ask for their rank back, it is the new members who happen to apply with god like scripts with low post count etc.

Neato, some good ideas. I'd like to propose a Celebration forum or Goals-Achieved, something along those lines. There's one of these already but it's limited to MSI. :(

It should be for showing off accomplished goals in Runescape either from playing legitimately or through using Simba. Could be specific levels gained, amounts of profit earned, or items gained. You get the idea.

Automatic PM has been discussed for a while, I just don't think I have the permissions to implement it. Quiz for members is a good idea. Cleanse probably won't happen. Verification probably won't happen. What celebrations forum are you talking about when you say it's limited to MSI?

Few good ideas. :)

Both good threads, but I think a section of the forum dedicated to content like this would be pretty nice.

I'm not sure about the cleanse, but the rest sound like great ideas.

Also, we have a celebration forum - http://villavu.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=178

Cleanse is a definite no.

I've been meaning to setup the auto PM but never got around to it and forgot about it. I will try to go it today. Someone PM me a link to this thread so I remember :)

Well, yeah, but those aren't forums, they're threads. ;) I still agree with you guys, though.

That's in the Members section.

I think that the questions should be held off until after they apply. That way members can ask questions about how their code works and if they can't answer quickly, then automatic no.

If the questions are provided earlier, the people selling the scripts on RiD will be able to include those answers as part of their "service"

I was thinking the questions just to stop the people who register then apply 15 seconds later; but yeah I agree we should also ask questions in their thread (I have seen a few srl members do this)

I like the Automatic PM idea, giving users Links Public Scripts/Tut Island/How To Setup and such

Hobbit

2012-02-01 19:03:38

Well I have the permissions to view and change settings that include the welcome PM, just not the perms to save those changes :p

Will have to wait for wizzup to fix that for me.


Edit: Reworded, reformatted, and made some additions to the auto-pm

Any other Member Recommended Resources? :) (Or comments)

About the members application form, do we already have a popup that asks the applicant to confirm whether they have a script before firing up the application? I already forgot but I think a messagebox popup can make sure the applicants are aware of the consequences of applying - ie with a simba script, don't reapply until after some few weeks, plagiarism, etc

It is like when you have to confirm you have read the TOS of a site before registering - no excuses when you say you can't find the guidelines anywhere …
