Should New Members Have To Wait Longer.....

...to post/make threads? Currently, when a new account is made, the Member must wait 1 day to make threads. However, they can post in threads from the start. Would it be more beneficial if we delayed that a bit? Maybe make it so you have to wait 3 days to make a thread and 1 day to reply to threads. This could help with two things: making it a bit harder for trolls to make alts, and to ensure that the new member reads the rules. Adding on to the "reads the rules" theme, I think it would also be beneficial if new members automatically got a message from the Disembodied Soul linking them to the Forum Rules and encouraging them to read it. What do you think? -hoobla-

  • Haven't fully weighed the pros and cons of these thoughts, so take them with a grain of salt. -New users [u]and[/u] users coming off of a ban will have a dramatically increased post rate limit (current 30 seconds, I believe). The high limit will decrease daily until it reaches 30 seconds like everyone else. -A good forum standing is incentivized through in-game rewards for future game releases and/or rewards like Bungie Pro or discounts on Bungie Store merchandise. -Users have the ability to upvote and downvote posts. Downvoting a post will hide it and downvoting a thread will hide it from the listing, and upvoting something could influence the order of your thread display based on who you upvoted. Users will get a "reveal" button similar to the mods to show what they've hidden and see the page as a default user would see it. Reporting a post automatically downvotes it. The key here is that the amount of upvotes and downvotes doesn't have to be public information, but the mods could view reports on which users have the most downvotes/upvotes/etc. to more easily understand who's more likely to be breaking the rules and who's doing a good job. Notably, a manual review here would still be required, but it might make it easier to notice smaller trends in negative behavior.
