Contributor & Shared Lounge

**Eski** · 03-09-2009

This has probably been suggested before, but it is becoming required.

When I first became a Contributor, the threads in those sections were useful. Not the crap that has it has become of late.

I am suggesting to clean it up, apply more rules and get rid of all of the threads that SHOULD belong in the General Section.

Something needs to be done, I am sure i am not alone, but I don't even want to look in the sections anymore because they are just as bad as the Guide/Exploit/Scam section was before it was cleaned up. FULL OF CRAP.

The lounge, maybe. But the Contributor section is just as bad.

In the contributor Section, there are these kinds of threads;

1. Asking for Computer Help.
2. "Is my account worth anything"
3. "Girl Trouble."
4. "How can I make money?"
5. Trades/RAF requests

Even in the shared lounge there are numerous giveaways; where there is a sticky saying NO GIVEAWAYS.

There are alot of stuff in both sections that belong in proper sections; trade section, graphic section, general section, account giveaways.

There is no reason why people should be posting trades/giveaways in theses sections. If your worried about making a trade with someone who isn't a contributor then state that in your thread. Most giveaways are through PM's anyways, so there is not point in posting it in those lounges.

There are only 3-4 threads in the first 3 pages that I saw that were actually useful. The rest were rubbish.

I can understand not wanting to post SOME threads in the general section, but Seriously. Both sections are full of crap. At least limit the crap to ONE of the sections and not both of them.

I guess I am saying is clean it up, its in dire need.

tl;dr

Clean up Contributor and Shared lounge. Full of rubbish.

Private forum for members contributor and up. Talk about anything here, this forum is closed to the Members Group + Public.

I understand about the shared lounge, but people don't wanna have to give away their accounts with people leeching them (as bad).

Yes I know how to read. I even said that in the last thread that was created, its just gotten rediciulas lately. Most of the threads are questions that can be easily answered by using the search button.

I dont support this. The reason that the Contrib and shared lounge are up is because it gives us a place where we can post stuff that isn't open to the public.

You mentioned some forum titles:

1. Asking for Computer Help.
2. "Is my account worth anything"
3. "Girl Trouble."
4. "How can I make money?"
5. Trades/RAF requests

Okay, so number 1- i personally would like to get help from people who i can trust and probably know a lot about computers. If u post it in general, really, who checks that. You probably wont get as many replies as you would in Contrib or shared. Plus, most of the people who know a lot about computers are normally trollling in the upper sections, model editing...ect. It isnt like theres a computer help section, which would actually be a good idea...I am going to suggest that right now.

2- You can get an opinion from elder members on the forums, you could say, well dont listen to what people say if they are under 50 rep...But where would u post it? General section?...No one really checks that.

3- Well if i had a situation like he does, i would like to keep it somewhat personal and i would like to get replies from people who give a damn. Also i dont want everyone on MMOWNED to know about my personal life. I would like some privacy on an issue like that. As do many people.

4- Well, it is good to ask people who are probably experiences in that field. Most of the people Contrib+ have an area of expertise. There are a lot of scammers and people who know how to make money. You can also know that you will be getting useful answers from people who have actually tried it. It would also keep the good ideas where they belong. I dont want everyone knowing about a new scam i just found out about, and then the next week or so everyone knows about it.

5- As i said earlier the section where this would normally go...general chat...no one really checks, i haven't checked it for about a year now. By posting it in Contrib+, it will give you a better chance to get people and it will also be a place where you can request a RAF, without having the thread spammed by a bunch of people saying LF someone to RAF ME, I DONT HAVE KEY, blah blah blah.

The lounges are a place where anyone who is a donator+ can go and get away from all of the useless stuff and leechers, (not trying to be mean). It is a place where you can know that u will get a good answer.

Also, most of us are lazy..haha we dont wanna use the search button, or we have tried and we have received answers, but they dont completely answer the question at hand.
