    Shout bawx

    Well recently alot of new people have been donating (which is really great) but they are getting annoying....All they do if spam SB asking for stuff...break SB rules(and get away with it)...and beg for EVERYTHING



    So I thought of a solution....



    Give contribs and up their own SB

    and a SB for people who donated..

    (Kinda like the Private Lounge and Contrib section)

    Or, give donators their own channel on the SB, and have them not be able to get into the contrib+ one
    (Relz idea)

    It IS an idea, but there's also the problem that some Donators have really proven themselves useful in the Bawx, and to be fun people, but there are the problems like you said.

    I'm neutral on this idea. It's both good and bad.
    I used to be a Super Mod. Now I'm just Super, thanks for asking.

    Two shout boxes? mega server load.
    so I say, unless the server can handle it, just make it so donators don't even have a shout box if they are really getting that annoying.

    I was thinking about separate channels for different usergroups, currently I gave staff their own team channel.. and if i was to have 2 shout bawx's installed on the site it would slow down dramatically... I figure I'd have to destroy the staff channel and give it to contributors and up.. not something I'm ready to do just yet.. However I may raise post count required of donators to view the shout bawx just to make sure they know the rules of the site before anything else.

    I think you should raise the rep requirement instead. I wouldn't want a spamming donator in muh bawx

    Well if they can make 125 posts without getting infractions.. they can view and chat in shoutbawx.

    Most people donate cause they can't earn rep..

    What if ive got half the rep it needs to be a contrib, but I'm a donator and I've got an infraction? Cause to be honest, I only donate -for- the shoutbox. I enjoy the shoutbox, and talking in it, and I hope some people ive talked to have enjoyed it too.
