xerox Posted June 19, 2003 Posted June 19, 2003 Do you agree that a person should have 50 (relativly constructive) posts before they start up a gang? Im wanting to make the rule official, but not without general consensus first.
xerox Posted June 19, 2003 Author Posted June 19, 2003 hmm - i knew all the regulars would vote this way, oh well, hopefully the majority will speak.
Mr.Bill Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 probably, I'll see to it that if yes its voted for, I'l lock the thread with people with lower then 50 posts, (and even thats being generous.
Slothman Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 people under 50 posts should still be able to join though, just not start a gang
xerox Posted June 20, 2003 Author Posted June 20, 2003 yeah, they can join, i have no problem with that, its the starting up of one.
me Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 Hmm... It's tough to decide either way. I'd say it's more the attitude/resposibility of the person that has more to do with their gang-creation abilities than anything (like, some of the MTA team have fewer than 50 posts, yet I'd trust them to be good )
Slothman Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 good point. but seeing as there is no real way to measure someones leadership and gang-making skills, it's important to let people get to know you before they consider joining a gang. Someone could be a real nice guy, but we won't know that till we hear a little from them. example: already Ares has proven not to have much tact. (although he seems to genuinely want to start a gang) how many people do you think will join his gang?
xerox Posted June 20, 2003 Author Posted June 20, 2003 it depends, i dont think any regulars would bother to join, but maybe some newer members will join him, doesnt really matter much, good luck to him.
JohnnyBlaze Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 i think u should increase the post count to like 75 or 100 cuz i just joined the mta community like 3 weeks ago and i got more than 50 posts i think...and not many ppl kno who i am so ppl under 75 well basically have no respect resulting in another worthless gang...just my thinking
xerox Posted June 20, 2003 Author Posted June 20, 2003 thats my point, getting 50 posts isnt that hard, i would also like 50 posts and 1 month of forums, but now people will complain too much though i guess there may be an exception for the large gtaforums.com gangs, wonder why they havent started any mta related stuff yet?
xerox Posted June 20, 2003 Author Posted June 20, 2003 well we had 2000 members in 3 days on the eve/release day/day after of 0.3, so im expecting probably the same or less come 0.3X.
TwwIX Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 I am not sure about the posts count restriction. Some ppl just dont have the time to post on these forums,but that doesnt mean that they aren't qualified to start a clan of their own.Yes i agree that many users here are starting(spaming)clans/gangs just out of pure boredom and mainly just to get noticed by the community.Before announcing a clan at all u should first plan out and organize a few things here and there and recruit some people of course for your clan.Like i said, this shouldnt be post related instead the clan should have to reach a certian number of members before the clan can be announced as official.Maybe u could add a recruits forum of somekind where they could recruit(and only recruit) new members instead of posting it in the official gangs forum.
Guest Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 I think there should be a rating system. one forum for official gangs. another for n00b gangs. after so much time and after the consideration and approval of the Forum moderators, then they can join the big leagues. I dunno, just thinkin'. and mabye have a min. members count to join the official forums. i know that for some decent gangs that may be a problem, but it would still be up to the mods.
2nd666 Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 I agree with TwixX (mainly cos I dont post that much ) The number of posts gives no accurate measurement of anythin to be honest. Maby an IQ rating would be better lol . Edit: WOW oddly enough this is my 50th post
Iggy Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 wow its a tie, i think the next vote should make it final!
2nd666 Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 But theres gonna have to be enough gangs to fill all the servers that will start running, otherwise whats the point.
Iggy Posted June 21, 2003 Posted June 21, 2003 there are enogh gangs with 50 or more posts to fill all the servers
xerox Posted June 22, 2003 Author Posted June 22, 2003 I have no problem with official/unofficial/noob gangs or whatever, as it removes the need for restrictions etc, and maybe official and unofficial gangs can be split up into 2 seperate forums etc but this requires people to be working on that etc.
JohnnyBlaze Posted June 22, 2003 Posted June 22, 2003 i say the mods should say who is offical and who is not...which is probably alrdy whats going to happen???
