I think, I only had to endure NMC for a few hours ? I only posted one topic saying "Hi" and then Photos of my bikes in the Bike Thread, suddenly I seemed to be through.Some people are still in there from when I signed up, HA HA!

sidehop Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Oh the irony...Took me about five minutes to get that... Validation system is mint, Think how many people it has stopped in their tracks. I got validated in my one post. Was a fairly large post but i joined and didnt post for about a week till i understood what was actually happening rather than jumping in saying all the wrong things.

anzo Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Most new members seem to be early teens; usually seen as an excuse for bad grammar and spelling. Filtering out the members is a very good idea; sure, some do deserve it and don't get validated for a while, but they always do in the end.Look at other bike related websites that don't have the filtering system. MBUK forums for example, full of 10 year olds that only buy MBUK for the free sticker kits (come to think of it, why else would you buy it?) and as a result endless topics about 'Dream bikes' and 'Rate my £70 Halfords bike covered in anarchy symbol stickers'.This forum is very helpful. Any topic is answered...PC or Mac problems, making websites, photography, love life, cars, motorbikes...not to mention the people that spend hours putting up guides for new riders on how to bleed a brake or clean a hub. To be honest, I think if anyones going to complain about how the board is ran or what a 'wank' system it is, they don't appriciate the help provided.My two cents.

Pashley26 Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Fair Play I totally agree with the Validation system, and i think this forum would be a mess if it wasn't in place ! (no offence.)But thats not what this topic was about. I was just saying there seems to be alot more angry/abusive posts popping up.

Muel Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I think that the whole spelling and grammar test is brilliant, if they want validating, then they'll sort it out. Everyone knows how sentences work, and that they start with a capital. We all make spelling mistakes from time to time, but it's pretty obvious when they're making the effort.

MadManMike Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Tell you what is annoying. Every new member post contains "Check your spelling, read the rules and you'll be validated in no time!" usually 3 or 4 times...Argh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
