[QUOTE=Sand Castle;48091452]you should have to apply to get gold a mod or selected gold member will look over the applicant's post history, event log, ask a few other people from the threads they regular about them, etc.[/QUOTE] too wishful. just have mods promote people they think are good posters to gold member.
[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;48091470]too wishful. just have mods promote people they think are good posters to gold member.[/QUOTE] a thread where golds vote on members that should be promoted? perhaps only one new gold a month
[QUOTE=Sand Castle;48091478]a thread where golds vote on members that should be promoted? perhaps only one new gold a month[/QUOTE] Leaving something like this up to community vote sounds like a bad idea. That's getting into pretty outlandish territory anyway. [editline]1st July 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=sloppy_joes;48091470]too wishful. just have mods promote people they think are good posters to gold member.[/QUOTE] Sound idea in theory, would fall into mod apathy and the fact that mods probably wouldn't pay too much attention to random posters, or you might have a perfectly good poster who fits the criteria for promotion [del]who just so happens to be called rejectedpost[/del] but doesn't post enough in threads where mod-senpai would notice them. I couldn't see a mod taking the time out of their day to promote random people, and submitting people for consideration might fall into begging.
I wonder if I would of posted more in the GMF if I would of got shit for the one time I leaked GMF content (got banned for a week), since the following 2 weeks after I got unbanned I seem to get a lot of dumbs from gold members.
[QUOTE=Sand Castle;48091452]you should have to apply to get gold a mod or selected gold member will look over the applicant's post history, event log, ask a few other people from the threads they regular about them, etc.[/QUOTE] The idea of having somebody on for x amount of time with a clean enough ban history who can get enough people to vouch for them sounds like the most sensible way to go about this type of concept. Let's say you've been on for two or three years, you don't have any bans or if you do they're either quite early in your history or for fairly inconsequential things unrelated to genuine shitposting, and you can get some people to go "yeah you're not a huge piece of shit i guess" that sounds reasonable enough. If such a feature were implemented you'd probably have a big rush of people scrambling to get gold initially but it'd probably taper off after the first few weeks. Well, any suggestions are ultimately probably too ridiculous to be practical but I'm just throwing it out there.
[QUOTE=Sand Castle;48091478]a thread where golds vote on members that should be promoted? perhaps only one new gold a month[/QUOTE] Honestly this only seems like it'd create more of a circlejerk than some think it already is.

[QUOTE=deerinheat;48091606]i think hitler had a similar idea[/QUOTE] I don't recall Postal ever suggesting anything of this sort.

damn I'm glad to be blue.
[QUOTE=Sonador;48091804]I once stumbled accidentally into the sexy posts thread and got singled out b/c I didn't realize the purpose of the thread/had a furry avatar months later they're still flipping out over any post I make even though it's literally the same shit they post lmfao[/QUOTE] actually you made a post about someone, who has a serious problem that is pretty sad and disheartening, and it was a really low blow for no real reason and you caught some flak for it but instead of snipping and moving on or something you continued with it other posts you've made have been normal and fine for the most part but it's stuff like that that no one wants to see because it's really just not warranted anywhere and just not a cool thing to do given the circumstances
[QUOTE=VIOLATION_SNG;48091854]actually you made a post about someone, who has a serious problem that is pretty sad and disheartening[/QUOTE] All this time in GMF and the only thing a reasonable person can discern is that none of the posts in that thread are serious, mine included good try though [QUOTE=LuaChobo;48091866]you are literally acting elitist towards them right now do you see the irony[/QUOTE] at least I'm not photoshopping people's avatars onto people shooting themselves in the head with a shotgun because I don't like them!
Why don't blue members get quality drama like this
[QUOTE=EnlightenDead;48091883]Why don't blue members get quality drama like this[/QUOTE] you get all the highlights
[QUOTE=LordCrypto;48087279]funny thing is a lot of the guys that did the "silent invasion" turned into the ones that they hated[/QUOTE] the fact that people are elitist about being gold (rarely, if not never see this) or being "Legit Gold" is cartoonishly silly doesn't matter who you are, gold or blue member, a shitty poster is a shitty poster (or good, either way) [editline]1st July 2015[/editline] it's also pretty bad when people target others a little too specifically, that's more than just elitism, that's just being a prick. But that's more universal to everyone. i know some people are such awful people that they just smell of a terrible human being, but calm down
[QUOTE=EnlightenDead;48091883]Why don't blue members get quality drama like this[/QUOTE] I demand a Blue Members-only Forum for true class equality. [editline]1st July 2015[/editline] Gold members have a gold-only subforum, and red members have a red-only subforum, it's only fair that blues get one too.
[QUOTE=J!NX;48091911] it's also pretty sickening that people seemed to go out of their way to post specific users 'sexy posts' to the point where they're basically just targeting them i know some people are such awful people that they just smell of a terrible human being, but calm down[/QUOTE] every time you say this i will always be there to remind you that you posted in that thread more than any other person
Not gonna lie, every time I see a new thing about cleaning out the GMF I feel like I'm watching one cult get kicked out and another move in.

Make it better and (with the mods help) keep it that way.

no the newer ones
heard quite a few stories about the gmf and i'm glad i didn't have access to it
[QUOTE=Extronic;48092310]yeah i heard the last guy to start posting there died[/QUOTE]no wonder my geiger counter goes off
Yet another thread that reminds me that I don't have gold despite my join date. Thanks, guys.

Maybe it had its time back then but it's so tiring now

[QUOTE=Snickerdoodle;48092414]For me, the sarcasm is so dense that it's hard to actually tell what people even mean anymore in many threads.[/QUOTE] Sounds like my early secondary school years.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48091393]I actually hope for a sponsor kind of deal. We're other golds can help sponsor potential blues into golds where a mod could approve it. It would be a real neat idea.[/QUOTE] This reminds me of the time Garry made the forum invite-only, and if the person you invited, or "sponsored" got banned, you got banned too. You know what happened? People didn't sponsor people out of paranoia of them shitposting and getting them banned. I can only imagine that kind of thing would happen again if gold member became a sponsorship type thing.
Its dumb that the person you "sponsor" has an effect of you too, if they decide to fuck up why should I be responsible, it's not primary school, shouldn't have to babysit them, if they fuck up they Fuck up, not my fault
