(Viewed 836 times) Chuck  Location: Chicago Gender: Male  |  |  "Got A Sec?" < on 9/14/2005 10:11 PM >   Av, is this really the best way to make people full members? I'm sure you have some system set up, but it just seems a little odd that I would have input on someone I don't know!! Seems like you would want to make the requirements a little more than what they post on the forum. Am I missing something?

I don't feel you can make a choice on if someone is trusted or not unless you've met them in real life, or talked to someone who has. The ones that are obvious (low post count, nothing contributed) I will strike against however. Its not really an annoyance, if I don't have any opinion I just pass it on. > The hierarchy of power dictates that the person with the most power does the least amount of work and retains the highest benefit. atomx  Location: Brighton, ON Gender: Male  |  |  Re: "Got A Sec?" <Reply # 3 on 9/15/2005 12:19 PM >   I don't mind this but when it pops up as you were reading a thread, or going to reply, like I was to this one, if you click on one of the options you get booted out to the forums page.

Like Av says, what we say isn't the ultimate decision factor,if anything it just perhaps help them weed out the good and the bad a little. If this feature was up while I was waiting for L3, I would have appreciated any help I could get, so I have no problem putting in my two cents. north  Location: Paris via Montreal via Ottawa Gender: Female  |  Re: "Got A Sec?" <Reply # 15 on 9/22/2005 12:10 AM >   can you add a "this person needs to get more involved on the forums first" type option? i don't mind saying yes or no to people but its hard to make a decision when they've only posted once. Avatar-X  Alpha Husky Location: West Coast Gender: Male yay!  |  |  Re: "Got A Sec?" <Reply # 16 on 9/22/2005 3:35 AM >   Yes, use the "Strike" option and type that as the reason.

There is a spot on it that says you have no opinion on the person if you do not know them.
