There are a number of debates on that. Still haven't come to a positive answer.


My 2 cents...
---------------

Perhaps , We could set up a point system where new Users will have access to Certain Forums , Monitor them and Award them Points just for being Logged on at any given time ... Once total of Logged on events has Reached a Limit , ie;20 then open up more Forums for them to view....Then if the Number of Logged on Events is => 20 & the Number of Posts =>20 then They Will Have Access to the Full Site , But Not the Downloads... Then Finally After 100 Logons & 50 Posts , They Will Have Access to Everything.....

Added:
--------

--Edited--

but I would like to Add that Only based on the Facts from 2 or More Forum Moderators and the Strict Revision of Comsec/G-Secure can Any Member be Banned from Gov.Sec...[This will avoid Certain Mod's from Getting 'Trigger Happy' and Booting ppl out for no other reason at all apart from the Fact that they have a Grudge Against the User...Hence Discrimination... dry.gif

Something Like this....

A Diagram of what could be put in place:
-----------------------------------------------

Level 1 - Restricted Access to View Certain Forums [Not the Downloads Area]
Level 2 - Restricted Access to View More Forums [Not Downloads Area]
Level 3 - Unrestricted Access to All Forums [Not Downloads Area]
Level 4 - Unrestricted Access to all Forums & allowed to View Downloads Section
Level 5 - Full Site Access Privledges.
Level 6 - Advanced Access Privledges..
Level 7 - Godmode... <<Pfft jst added it in... biggrin.gif

Goody-Ometer Rating Chart:
---------------------------------

Logons: Posts: Level: Points:
-------------------------------------
10 - 0 - 1 - 10
25 - 10 - 2 - 30
50 - 25 - 3 - 75
75 - 35 - 4 - 110
100 - 35 - 5 - 150
125 - 150 - 6 - 165
1000 - 1500 - 7 - 2500

Note: Logons could be only counted az Valid if users Stays logged in for certain Time Frame Like 5 mins wink.gif , Yep counters any 'I'll jst log on and off'...carry on's

Warning Levels & Consequences.
--------------------------------------

Level: Point Deduction:
---------------------------
1 - 20
2 - 50
3 - 100
4 - 500
5 - Reset [Back to Newbie] sad.gif

Note: Also that Point Deductions Must be Forwarded by 2 or more Mod's and can Only be Enforced by Either G-Sec or ComSec rolleyes.gif ...for Bias Reasons only.

Jst a thought to Bring Posting Levels up a bit.
----------------------------------------------------

Add a Drop Down Window to the Side of the Thread with Comments Like..

*Excellent stuff Keep up the Good Work.
*Not to Bad But it's not my Liking.
*Nice smile.gif
*I Don't think that this is the place for that....
*What is this Crap Get Rid Of it.
*Theres a Virus in that File.
*Go Search for it @ www.GoOgle.com
*blah blah blah etc etc..


*Once Memebers have Read a Thread/Topic they can Either Reply in there own Words or Select a Drop down Comment and the Page Will Reset with the Comment Added. cool.gif

jst a Thought: Also that there could be a Rating system for the Posts that Fluctuates based on the (Number of Views + Good Feed Back) - Bad Feed Back...

*Also allow users to Modify there thread Topics as this may change over time or they may have a more appealing name then --**Look @ This**-- {For Example}... as well as Giving each user the Privledge of Deleting any Post thet He/She has made in any forum...for Erronious Prefrences.and to keep things nice and Tidy smile.gif

Well it started off az 2 cents & Ended up a Dollar..
is jst my spontaneious Solution to Running a Top Quality Site...Like this one..

Perhaps Also have a 'Goody-Ometer'  {Made it up obviously} where rather then just booting ppl out because they are 'Script Kiddies' or 'General Clowns' or Because you and the Wife had an Argument and you figgured that you'd take it out on some Private named 'Andos' lmao....Deduct Points from there 'G.O' and Hence Restrict them from Posting for a Period of time and knock there access Level down a step or 2... kinda Dissobedience Lesson...


See that warn level on the left side column below your name... it does just that.

When we feel the need to give somebody a point we do, and depending on the person and act we can restrict posting abilities etc. Ie: Repeat Offenders, Virii uploaders, etc etc.

Yep seen it many a time... Pitty it don't get used though *Cough* *Cough* {Not that I'd like to be an Example} But from What I Noticed Virri Uploaderz jst Get the Boot!!...End of Story , So Perhaps maybe thats jst a waste of Space???...

*And Apart from pointing out the Least Obvious Points of my Suggestions... What do you think about the rest???.."you can Quote me smile.gif"

Virus uploaders are booted because we can generally tell whether or not it was a fluke or accident. If it was a fluke thing, we let it slide. We arent trying to be Forum Nazi's here. For the most part we let our members do as they please, so long as they follow the rules, which are fairly simple and lax.

As for the warn point's not being used... we do use them, but we are warning the ppl that dont follow rules. 99%+ of the members here now follow the rules so we dont have to warn any one. When we start having to dish out warn points like there is no tomorrow, that would mean the forum is going down hill.

i agree in general with all that wicked said about "giving points" to members, and i believe his suggestions could work not for new members but for ppl that already are in.
what i asked is what is about to happen with new members?
And what access do not logged on users have?
what i mean is that, i know that the vast majority of ppl out there might be script kiddies, but what about that all the rest who really care about security or maybe really have something to offer, how would they know what GSO is about if they cant read it?
On the other hand, if all can read anything, it would be a skiddie's paradise :-/
Im not suggesting anything here... just thinking out loud...
GSecur
Remember a couple of things guys. Number 1 - the punishment fits the crime. Warn points are issued for minor infractions for example, extreme profanity, posting serials. People who knowingly upload viruses will be banned no questions asked.

Warn points have been issued to some of our younger members who for some reason can't remember to run antivirus on there own computers.

Remember we the admin team here never does anything for a power trip. Most of our decisions are made with our members in mind. We don not preoccupy ourselves with trying to make the site more popular. We just focus on providing the best enviroment for security minded folks to gather. Now if that sometimes means shutting down registration, or deleting 10,000 accounts, so be it. I admit sometimes I get all giddy with the traffic numbers but comsec and the admin team keep me in check rolleyes.gif

Now for some of our older members, if you remember we were an open site. No registration was needed to view our information. But what happened was the site began attracting a very unsavory crowd. We became flooded with, hack this computer for me. We also became flooded with beginner members. So we made the site membership only. Now of course that doesn't stop someone from signing up. But it does allow us to control membership must tighter.

Soon we will open membership again most likely by the end of the month, but we may place some restrictions on what email addresses people can use to sign up. And rest assured a clean up and another complete lock down will happen again.

Soundz like a Good Plan to me...

But I have to agree with GSecur plan.

hey gsecur sup?
i noticed that someone removed my good friend off the board... UNDERTAKER...
his english is a bit screwy but except that i dont really know why someone would wanna kick him out... do you?

/me is puzzled tongue.gif
GSecur
I didn't, unless he had only 0 posts. You may want to ask Comsec
GhostCow
Comsec he didnt have 0 posts and the removal was recent... any insight?
ComSec
well to be honest i aint dealing with anyone's query regarding a member in any forum thread and most of all not in this open forum.

if you read this UNDERTAKER then send me an e-mail..see what i can sort out

cheers

grabel,
members are judged not on their post count, but the quality of their posts. having a high post count does not always equal respect. some members post more than others while at the same time annoy more than others.

don't be intimidated, friend.
