I was just thinking about all the negatives of leechers within the wow guides/scam/exploit subforums.
Some people have suggested to just make them contrib/donator exclusive but that would reduce new members and such.
So here's what I came up with:
- All new posts within those forums go straight to the elite section ( contrib/donator+).
- We get to see these posts before the "public" does and we can determine if its a really good trick that should be kept in the elite section or not. This can be done through a little voting system for each thread that gives 2 options: +keep it here or -make it public.
- All threads get evaluated in 5 or 7 days. Whichever way the voting went the thread will go public or will remain with the privileged.
- If the OP doesn't have enough rep to see the elite section he will have access to the forums but will only be able to see his own thread(s).
That way, we get first dibs on anything epic and if people feel like it should go public then it will but not after a certain delay (the 5 or 7 days) where we get full advantage of it.
Let me know what you think!
