So I was thinking that the suggested 'quiz' before registration activation would be a good idea. I'd like to support the implementation of including the forum rules and general guidlines in the registration email, and also a new activation page that contains a quiz prospective PA members must answer with 100% correctness before they can officially post. If you're really too busy to think up one, I can write up a comprehensive rules email and sample quiz questions, it being the holidays and all. I'd really like to see this implemented, if not just to observe how well basic education works in quelling idiocy.

And there was me thinking someone was going to suggest getting PAForums a licence to hold weddings so we could have those online marriage things with Ramius as a certified Registrar or someshit.
Did I beat his stupid?
*I have no clue what the hell I was trying to say with that first clause. Like, none. And I'm going to hunt down whoever decided it would be a good idea to give the professors an incredibly out-of-date core collection list to order books off of, and I'm going to wipe their name from the face of the earth.
Basically, that would help for the idiots, not for the trolls, of whom there seem to be more.
And I think you're exaggerating a bit, CT.

i agree.
and the rules (while similar) are different across the forums
I can think of much dumber ideas than that, come on. You just don't have enough imagination.

Sounds good enough for a Flash cartoon. Dramatic music with avatars bouncing around and a final yelling of "Brute Squad"...then the flaming begins.

god I hope you're being sarcastic, but if you're not...
This place is an online forum and you're here for free. A college loan deals with money and is something that is regulated. If you paid to get in here then maybe there would be some entry regulation.
It's odd that not many people realize/respect the fact that they don't own the forums noobs and elitist regulars both (myself included at some times)

I've been trying to reach you, but your extension cord doesn't reach that far.

See the highlighted word that has already been dealt with
There are quite a few regs that wouldn't be here if you IP banned for noob stupidity. Yourself included I think

1) waste of time
2) it's stupid
3) forums have different rules
4) it's stupid
5) people will just skip over it
6) it's stupid.
Finally: IT'S STUPID
2. That's never stopped you before
3. People usually should lurk all forums to see where they really fit
4. That's never stopped you before
5. Like they skip over the rules thread? That's the whole point
6. That's never stopped you before
Okay, I'm done with this inane idea. I was going to offer free labor, but whatever. I'll go back to being antiproductive now.

More detail soon, but yeah, should be in time to be my little Christmas present to the forums.
oh, and PAGINA DOS
1) I was refering to the time taken to complete this quiz, not the time to create it.
2) no it hasn't.
3) Yes they should, which brings us to another adverse point, This kind of thing could actually encourage people not to lurk as they will think they know the rules. While they'll know enough to avoid being banned, they won't know enough to not be annoying.
5) If it will be skipped anyway, whats the point?
I hope you realise I'm not seriously insultion you, I'm just bored.
Ramius you tease
Yay! Ramius is applying for the right to hold weddings in the forum. It'll be just like Eastenders, except instead of Alfie marying Kat, Ramius will marry 150cc. Scott will make a surprise come back just as Orthanc is doing the "If nobody has any objections" bit and be all like "I object, 150cc...is my manwife!" then the PA theme music will start playing and you'll have to wait until boxing day to find out what happens.
Shit, its not my fault. I try to play Pokemon and read PC hardware magazines while my girlfriend is watching it but it still fucking leaks in.
Ordinarily, I'd feel cranky at being reminded of the BBCAmerica channel I can't watch. However, we got satellite access back up and running last night, so I'm merely amused at the suffering of others.
Only when I was Fapping to the Little Mo rape scene when it got repeated late night on BBC3 [/crossing the line]
orthanc you're right and everything you say is right. but I think you missed telling paladin one key point... it's stupid
