Board suggestion

[iago]

I think we need a test.  To register for a forum, they should have to answer at least 3 out of 4 questions right, and the questions should be randomly chosen from a pool of 20 or 30.  Topics should include knowledge of the clan, mainly, but also a little about programming or general knowledge

[Soul Taker]

What if people only come here for the movie reviews?

[Adron]

Good point. Different questions for each board!

[iago]

Don't forget, people can READ the forum with no account.  But to post, they would have to take the quiz.  

That would cut down on people who wander in here cluelessly; make them at least look at the main site first

Granted, this would discourage new people on the boards, but the last thing we need is more lazy people

[Thing]

This should be a mandatory question on every quiz:

1.  What are these symbols and how are they used?  . , ?

The webbot request forum presently requires registration, and I rather suspect that people would just revert to coming by channel for registration if they got locked out of the request forum by inability to pass the proposed test.

This is discrimination against ignorant people.

[Spht]

Maybe the WebBot forum should have only one question: "How are you supposed to register?"

[Grok]

This is discrimination against ignorant people.

Not exactly.  It's exclusionary filtering based on ignorance.  But discrimination is against a characteristic which is innate and/or cannot be modified, such as ethniticity or gender.

People can fix their ignorance and try again.

I don't agree with that.

[Mitosis]

Well looks like Il be not alowed on the forums, Iv only learned how to make variables.

I don't agree with that.

In that case, you would be wrong.  Look up 'ignorance' in a dictionary.

[MoNksBaNe_Agahnim]

A good question is....

what is the answer if you...

1) 2*2...
2)square root the previous answer...
3) add it by 123.5...
4) and raising it the 0 power equals...

Everyone should know that from Algebra 1


and for the movie review board ask...

1) What is your name?
2) What is your quest?
3) What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

everyone should know that as well

I don't agree that most people that come here ignorant, fix their ignorance. IMO, from my first post I have become a bit smarter (I would be labeled as ignorant by me.) But a lot of people do not correct their ignorance at all. Anyway, that's just my opinion and my opinion doesn't matter.

Ignorance (n.) - The condition of being uneducated, unaware, or uninformed.

I think it is a good idea. Their ignorance takes away from our bliss.
