Shout Bawx Access Limits.

[Heftydogg]

Previously, in the Bawx's older versions, there were limits to the donators that could have access to the shout bawx. This is slowly trickled down from 125 posts, to 25 posts, and now to no requirement at all.

Myself and many others suggest that there be a 150 post, and 20 rep requirement before you can use the bawx, even if you're a donator (Contributor should have no problem meeting this req.)

This would give the members that donate just to gain access to the donator + forums more incentive to contribute and a goal to obtain in order to have the privilege of using the bawx.

Many new donators are seen asking for accounts or help with bots and other programs that expect to be helped right away just because the bawx is a live feed, and are too lazy to look in the proper forums/threads to find their answers. And other donators are just plain annoying.

So 150 post requirement, 20 rep requirement, before you're presented with the bawx as a donator. Or possibly, let them be able to read the Shout Bawx, so they feel a part of the community, but they must meet that requirement before being able to post a message in the bawx.

Thanks for reading! Hopefully this is a reasonable, and doable suggestion.

Thank you Heftydogg for this great suggestion. That staff will look into it and see what we can do. I for one know I am in support of this.

Less bans for me but heh...you gotta make sacrifices sometimes.

its for donators and above

100 posts, and 20 rep!

[2dgreengiant]

3000 posts and 800 rep, but on a serious note if this rule was instated so you had to have say 50 posts what about the current donors who have like 40 posts? Would they get like a month of sb then have it removed?

They would lose access immediately. It is supposed to have restrictions on it.
If you don't meet those restrictions when they are put back on, then you don't get the shoutbawx.

bad dont do it and besides when we donated this being one of the perks was the sb.

Remember Contributers contribute the good stuff while donaters pay the hosting bill (not to say donaters shouldnt contribut)

[Sixen]

even though i dont meet those req i still agree

[Dragonshadow]

I agree 100%. We now have leecher donators stealing accounts shouted into the SB...

[x[JoJo]x]

yah i agree this would filter out some of those nubs who donate thinking they can own this place

This has been corrected, it was another issue with the shoutbawx change.

[Bigjev]

I think its a good idea even though i do not meet the reqs...

[rustyb]

It has been implemented, I suppose :P
