Mark W Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Only if the "seven-deuce" game is on, or if I'm big blind First person to make a "Mark is over 6ft tall" and "Mark needs glasses" joke fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d6116 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Thought I'd add my two cents here on the topic of the member population. ie: young old, new old-timers.Firstly I think the young old divide really shouldn't be a problem but when you have a sport that looks impressive you will always attract some young enthusiastic, sometimes misguided, people. I think that's pretty unique to trials and other than mods who are willing to be fair and clear there's no real way to deal with with it.Secondly I've been thinking about this a lot and I think there should be no NMC, but instead a beginners category. New members would be able to post anywhere immediately but, by moving threads if needs be, would be encouraged to post in the beginner category first. This means people who are new to the forum but not new to trials would not be 'trapped' in the same forum as absolute beginners.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 NMC isn't there to filter out new ridersBut it can have that effect.I think new members is doing a little less bad than it is good. I'd rather have some people posting crap once in a while than knowing some 'could be' members sign up and leave after a few weeks because they don't get validated.

I'd honestly say 70% of NMC threads are re-posted, badly written trash. Trust me, this forum would be so much worse off if NMC was let loose.

It just seems very unfair to the people who should be validated but get overlooked and not noticed until they leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems very unfair to the people who should be validated but get overlooked and not noticed until they leave.I'd estimate more than 50% of the reports every day are suggesting people for validation. Get involved To d6116 - your idea is sound in principle. However, new members don't have the report function any more because so many NMC members were using the 'report' button as the 'reply' button. If there are that many people that don't even check if they're reporting or replying to a post, then I doubt a complicated set of guidelines suggesting they should post in X forum would really work?

Might have to try my hand at recommending worthy people The guidelines wouldn't have to be complicated; but it sounds like complicated or not it wouldn't matter as they just wouldn't read them full-stop.Seems like you were right TheScientist the unworthy, and illiterate, shouldn't be let loose.
