When I first joined, my name was up in 'lights' on the front page under the 'our ten newest'
Due to the amount of banning and re-joining going on :
would it be possible to re-instate this list, as a quick and easy way to see who has joined recently.
At present, if someone re-joins, but does not post, they can still cause problems, yet they are harder to find without this little list
And what reason was there for stopping it in the first place ?
Hi foxyloxley,
Definitely agree! Good idea!
Eg ;)
http://www.antionline.com/stats.php
edit: nevermind, i thought the list was moved over there....
:)
Damn ............
I never knew that was there .........
and I'm all OVER it :eek:
think I'll bookmark THAT page :)
I'm so SAD it hurts :D
but, as your edit says, no sign of the newest ..............:sigh:
[edit]
That's some attrition rate from newbie to seniorQuote:
Newbies: 104582
Jr Members: 352
Members: 97
Addicts: 80
Sr Members: 216
Im new, but the "date joined" probably speaks for that already.
Yes, new.Quote:
Im new
and POSTING .........
I am asking so that we can track those who DO NOT post straight away.
they can cause trouble
we cannot locate them too easily
as we are not too sure exactly who IS new
the list might help
and it WAS there once.
Sounds like a good idea, but yeah.. The moderator's and the users have been on top of The Specialists' recent incarnations and all that so I dunno. Don't see why not to have it on the front page though..
As per the 'bump thread' post, I'm just posting to keep this in view too :p
I think that as this WAS in use, that it would be a quick fix to do ?????
but mainly, I DO think it would help us to se in one place exactly WHO the new names on site are ........
I know that SOME of the miscreants were using old established profiles to abuse the system, but, most will HAVE to re-enter details if they wish to play [up]
and with this list, we could see which names are new.
the problem with the "Trouble makers" is there is very little that we as members can do, especially when they dont post.
The worst they can do is be bloody annoying..ie Bump Old Threads
The trouble makers we refer to ARE NOT NEW MEMBERS, rather Former members who have been banned and come back with an Axe to grind.. because of a problem with a group of members, moderators, or the Adminerstrators .. who ever.. but in their anger they make life uncomfortable for all others,.
And why bumping is bad.. some times old flame threads resurface, restarting old arguments .. arguments that have long since been forgotten, or resolved.. but in resurfacing they are given new opertunity to damage relationships on this board, not the original relationships but some of the newer ones. For the technical stuff, bringing up old threads can potentially bring errent information to the fore, out of date information no longer useful or could be counter productive..
How many people ever bother to check to see if the date is flashing (some cant because of browser or proxy setting).. so it isnt long for people who are not aware to be active in a defunct thread discussing a topic that is no longer relivent.
So it isnt that Newbies are disliked, it is there is no way of telling ID-10-T former members from the good newbies.. As members we cant do a thing untill they post, and then only if they post crap.. AP's for what is posted not who is posting..
Ok, some brain dead piece of turd is bumping again.
So lets have the newest member list back on front page, so we can see who is the new starter, and THEN we can check if any of them are actually IN the archives...........
Can we have it NOW please ...............:)
Goto members list, sort by date joined . . . the rest is obvious
The member list could use an additional field called "Number of bumps". :) Also useful when it shows who'se online because the bumber is active now. :(
EDIT: Maybe the online member list can be helpful too in a find&destroy for the bumper...
Hesperus :
I know how to find people, what I'm asking for is something that used to be here.
So it's not going to be too hard or time consuming to implement .........
If the newest ten WERE on the front page, it makes it easier to spot 'em if they are in the old / archive sections
I agree with foxyloxley...we need a fast and easy way to identify bumpers...so they can ' quickly ' be dispatched.
Eg ;)
I'm on it. The stats page was rushed to live before it was ready. I was working on adding some other lists to the stats displayed there, including newest 10 members, but didn't get a chance to add that stuff before it went public. I'll try to finish it up soon.

Lets review the situation for a moment. You banned and blocked me... or so you thought. After the second or third proxy you noticed that you'll block access to this site for about 70% of your user-base before im done. The changes to this site have been made just for me.
Im feeling pretty damn good right now.

No Spec let us review your situation for a moment, no matter what you say or do to justify your childish behavior, the fact will remain that you are not welcome here anymore.
Unless of course you really establish a new account and completely change your personality, which I doubt will happen anytime soon.
At this point you are just making yourself look like an ass. You think you are L337, for the multiple proxy approach? You think we all give a flying **** about your self inflicted ban-fest? You are just a pesky fly on the ass of an already stinking AO at this point.
I find it really pathetic that you even waste your time coming back here, day after day, hour after hour to prove your point................... well what is your point?
Whatever man. What the **** ever.....................
:o
I think you are the Spec. in Spec Hackers, buncha sand paper jagg offs.
I'd like to get some feed-back on this ..........
Would it be possible to remove from the 'Website Status' section on the front page, the 'Close To Being Banned:' section, and replace it with the '10 Newest Members ' section on the stats page ????
Reason for asking is that the 'Close to' section could be seen as a 'status' type thing for those who are there ...........
Also, to link to val's thread could we remove / ban from AO, members who have been in the 'close to' section after a set time ??? IMO three months with no improvement is MORE than long enough to prove intent [or lack of it] to improve ............
Well Foxy~
The problem that I see with that is that the target moves too quickly?
I go to <view members> and <sort by join date>
So far today we have 4 new members.................there were 14 yesterday! so you can see that people drop off the radar very quickly.
:)

Heyas'
Not to be too cynical but at this point, the ten newest members would be the same as the banned list.
I think it would be better to have a "10 Newest Proxie List".
:p
Not necessarily, Galdron. Some of them get banned even before finding a place in that list. :D
Seriously, such words won't encourage n00bs to post here, we have be more polite and less offensive. We need them, really. Behave seniros, behave.... :p
I actually find it well defined on how we should treat new members:
Productive = Greens
Asshat = Negs
Richard Cranium = Banned
***Personal interpretation of the definitions above is authorized to avoid gray areas.
:D
Hm.. very useful forum
I've just joined and already start to like it :)
So many good ideas
thanks guys!
