[QUOTE=Orkel;48093957]Make GMF readable by everyone but allow only golds to post in there[/QUOTE]
So a private bathroom with transparent walls?
[QUOTE=Fouytan222;48093980]If we're all openly talking about what to do with the GMF in GD of all places, can we not drop that silly "don't leak the GMF" rule just once?
It just seems a little asinine to have a discussion about the GMF when only a small number of users have any actual understanding of its problems, and said users can't actually talk in detail for fear of being banned.
Maybe the mods should move this discussion to the GMF itself?[/QUOTE]
has anyone in this thread been banned or threatened with a ban for leaking? vnl said details of any specific happenings will get you in trouble here but that doesn't include discussing the current ruleset etc., they've been pretty lenient
anyway if this was in GMF it'd defeat the purpose, the idea is to get the attention of golds who don't currently look in GMF
[QUOTE=RejectedPost;48093991]It'd be like those public toilets with one-way mirrors so you can see outside, only two-ways.[/QUOTE]
I believe it would keep the GMF as a special gold-only forum but it would have an effect on the posting quality as they'd know anyone can see what they're cooking in there. Less witch hunting and talking behind backs.

sorry orkel this is gonna sound pretty aggro and i don't mean it to but i don't understand why it wouldn't be better to just enforce a higher standard in the GMF thru bans
it's hilarious when blues are able to see it but that doesn't really solve the core problem which is that a lot of golds literally think they are higher human beings

the whole purpose of this is to get the attention of anyone who doesn't use the gold forum but can. that would be counterproductive

More of a zoo.

That sounds like it'd be fun. I'm not sure how much actual conversation would get done. The idea of a private conversation that's also public is an odd one.

Then again, if it's a choice between privacy and people being witch-hunting abusive assholes with a petty private country club mentality then full steam ahead.

It would make people sharing limited resources hard, though. Like the free gold-only servers someone mentioned setting up earlier in this thread
[QUOTE=RandomGamer342;48094034]It would make people sharing limited resources hard, though. Like the free gold-only servers someone mentioned setting up earlier in this thread[/QUOTE]
that's the issue with making them visible
it'd be much more effective and less damaging to the way things are "supposed" to be if moderators just banned the group at the core of the problem and i don't really understand why that doesn't seem to be an option
e: wrong account lol

Not really. It's not hard to check if the guy wanting to get whitelisted on a server is a gold on FP.
Also not sure how warez would work out since it's currently only allowed in GMF precisely because it's a private forum. But do they really need warez? I doubt it.
thanks for banning the account i use more often, i haven't used this one in probably close to 6 months except to look at RC

You sound like a movie villain.

teh pirate apparently.
Actually, now I want to know why he was using it. Call me petty but you'd have thought you'd use a 2006 account over a 2009 account. Is it the name? It's the name, isn't it.

the 06 was banned at the time that i made this one and this one got gold for postcount so i was on this one to discuss the gmf issue
i've been using the 06 more because it's an 06 but i have to use this one for gold stuff
[QUOTE=Starpluck;48094070][IMG]http://facepunch.com/image.php?u=53501&dateline=1419817725[/IMG][/QUOTE]
thanks love
-well that's off-topic anyway-
By the sound of it GMF sounds like it runs on a different set of much looser rules. Do you just not get banned for obvious shitposting that would get you banned in the regular forums in there? Where is the line drawn? It must be really loose if people were acting like vigilantes in there.

is it against the rules to have alts now?
[QUOTE=Max;48094118]is it against the rules to have alts now?[/QUOTE]
Alts used to be allowed? Then again I've only really seen them be used for ban evasion or gimmick posting.
[QUOTE=Max;48094118]is it against the rules to have alts now?[/QUOTE]
i thought i was safe because i wasn't evading a ban but idk, doesn't really matter anyway, should stick to the topic
[QUOTE=Max;48094118]is it against the rules to have alts now?[/QUOTE]
Not against the rules, it's just mod discretion to get rid of them on sight
I ban alts on sight, breaking rules or not
If they break rules then the main also gets a ban
[editline]1st July 2015[/editline]
Ban evasion is against the rules though, alts are often used for that so better get rid of them berorehand
Does anyone remember HW&SW (like 2007 or 2008) and Prismatex with his 8 ban evasion alts
[QUOTE=TrafficMan;48094187]Does anyone remember HW&SW (like 2007 or 2008) and Prismatex with his 8 ban evasion alts[/QUOTE]
back when a perma just meant "make a new account and be good this time" so you'd get dude1 dude2 dude3 dude4 until they got IP banned
[QUOTE=TrafficMan;48094187]Does anyone remember HW&SW (like 2007 or 2008) and Prismatex with his 8 ban evasion alts[/QUOTE]
Or that one guy who would come back to STGYM every month with a new account, blankslate iirc
[QUOTE=RejectedPost;48094130]Alts used to be allowed? Then again I've only really seen them be used for ban evasion or gimmick posting.[/QUOTE]
I dont remember how I did it, but when I first got gold on an alt I didnt use anymore, I had somebody PERMA it because I didnt much care for the account or the gold.

been a while, huh?
[QUOTE=TrafficMan;48094187]Does anyone remember HW&SW (like 2007 or 2008) and Prismatex with his 8 ban evasion alts[/QUOTE]
I remember Altimor who straight up numbered his alts Altimor1,2,and I remember they went up to at least 13
