Suggestion to Brian

[homer]

Brian,

With the influx of new posters the last few days/weeks (and more to come if the Brewers catch fire) I was wondering if it would be possible to have them 'register' and read the FAQ's before posting. It seems like you are spending a lot of time pointing newbees to the FAQ's. Just trying to save you some time/headaches.

All users have to register before applying, but I don't think there's anyway to insert a custom screen with ezBoard with custom info. It's been a while since i've checked though, so maybe i'll poke around and see if there's a way to do so.

 

There are ways to limit access to new users so that they either have to be "voted" in or approved by the staff... so maybe there's a way to do something there.

 

Yeah, the site is growing by leaps and bounds, and the staff is currently having an internal discussion on how to keep everything reigned in.

Registration is now subject to approval by management, and a link to the message board FAQ is now shown to all who are applying for membership.

Cool. I hope people actually read it.

Is this something you have to do manually? Does this only apply to ezBoard registrations?

 

By the way, I'm just curious. I think this is a good thing.

Yeah, it's something I do manuall for ezBoard registrations.

Just as an aside, I like how you used this to close a thread:

Ah, I should have looked at this before I posted a few minutes ago. Not being on my home computer, my password didn't enter automatically and I was a little taken aback when I saw that I needed Approval! But I'm OK now, just caught a bit off guard.
