Maybe the new forum should have a "Report" button, so a user could "report" a post that has, say, a link to porn or pirated software, to get immediate moderater attention. It could be directly linked to the points, so people under a certain rating cant report (because they might be reporting things just to waste your time) also, maybe place the forum rules at the bottom of every page quote from the bottom on the genesis3d forums " # Post your message once in the most appropriate topic. Do not post the same or similar messages in multiple topics. This is referred to as spamming the board and your duplicate messages will get deleted. Also any traditional spam such as the "Get Rich Quick", pyramid schemes, etc. will be deleted. # Job ads go in the Unrelated forum only. Job ads found in any other topics will get deleted. # Absolutely no warez or porn allowed. # No trolls. Go back to the usenet where you belong. # Bypassing the word filters will result in a banning. See this post for more information. # All posts must be in English. See this post for more information. " also, stricter rules about illegal activity such as pirating should be in place, look at this post here theres a few people in that that flat out admit being a software pirate, and quite a few that say "pirating is ok" just some more suggestions

You can also see this feature mentioned or shown in several other very recent threads in this forum, and in many other threads for the last few months. However for the benefit of those living in cave for the last 6 months another screenshot is helpful I guess.

Heheh. I''ve had Mike start working on a new forums FAQ so we can stop repeating ourselves. Should be up later today.

I recognise my post! This means you guys have either taken a fresh snapshot of the database, or have moved the forums to the new server...
