What would you do if you were Forum Admin?

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

Or it would make everyone leave. We're going for 'conducive to polite discussion', not 'unworkable and overly harsh'.

I wouldn't leave if that was to be imposed on the Org now.

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

After reading all posts about swearing in this forum I would also:

• Make a super strict swearing policy (e.g. no censored words, no asterisks or use of $,%,^,& and ! to hide swearing, no "bad" words, no words that could be perceived as being bad or insulting in any way, no words that you would not want a three year old to know etc.)
• Anybody who breaks this policy gets the post in question edited and a "swear" type of warning point (that is two warning points).
• Make these rules extremely clear by posting announcements of them in every forum/sub-forum

This would stop all swearing or use of rude words by anybody and would probably cure the current problems.

That is good IMO.. I don't like it how someone gets off for saying Hell in asteriks, but I get a point for saying poop. Still angry over that. Plus No Aruging with the Mods unless you got a Vaild Case. No Spamming at all. etc....

Hell isn't profanity...it's in the bible

That's true. It depend, however, on what you language put before the word "hell".

[Vladimir]

I would mail certain members food. Not bad food, but good food. Only to those who live close enough so the food doesn't rot. Closest memer I can think of is LEN, probably end up sending him a lot of food. Good food=happiness

You could always send non-perishable food like camel jerky.

And....? Should I be allowed to say Poop to,because it's Human Produced?

[AntiochusIII]

Can anyone ever eat camel jerky?

I mean, come on, it smells.

And....? Should I be allowed to say Poop to,because it's Human Produced?

You obviously are allowed to say "Poop." "Increments" or "waste-products" are preferred, though.

I wouldn't leave if that was to be imposed on the Org now.

I would. Draconian rules = sucks. Heavy force to "solve problems" = crude, macho, Stalinist ways of escalating existing problems. Meaningless, overly harsh rules = very, very annoying. Being imposed on me = goodbye, site.

[edyzmedieval]

I'd ban myself.

[CountArach]

I'd ban myself.

Ah it's the banning paradox! If you ban yourself, do you have the power to ban yourself?

[Csargo]

First I'de ban everyone from the forums then I'de just talk to myself til the end of time.

[Martok]

Hmm. Methinks Mithrandir probably wouldn't like that very much. You'd better make sure he never finds out.

[Tamur]

Well, I'd annex the Sudetenland and... oh, wait, wrong forum.

[CrossLOPER]

I would lock and hunt down everyone responsible for quote function RAPES such as the ones in this gem:
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=72999
Also, anyone who has the title of "Senior Member" will be demoted to Urine Wench for a decade (for such an infraction).

Aww, come on. If you can't follow the quotation trains, there's no way you can follow the tortured logic within them.

I DON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not want to go through that tired mess. I abandon threads that go into that direction because they lead to nothing because they usually start from nothing.

Don't you like my idea for a title?

[MSB]

I have been told to say this:

I would also set up a special squad of moderators to kill bots before they kill computers! Mine just died because of one!

Well clicking on the links those bots hosts isn't exactly the smartest thing to do...

That said, I understand the normal Spyware/adware removers didn't do the trick ?

[The Wizard]

Create a "gulag" usergroup, and then proceed to have fun with the admin panel. After that and tea, I'd email some advertising "companies" for some quick cash, and then disappear into the dephts of the Internets.

[Mikeus Caesar]

I'd rake in extra revenue by devoting half the forum to porn sites.

HAI2U! DO U WANT SUM PR0N OR V14GR4Z WHIL U PLAY? THEN CLIK THIZ LINK FOR HI-QUALITI STUF!

www.virusesandspamhere.porn.com

You can't say it won't happen.

[Andres]

I would abandon all camels.

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Yea Al, clickong on those Links isn't the smartest thing to do,dunno why you did it


It must have been a good Viruis or something, to get pass your defenses..

[RZST]

Allow Custom Avatars! W00t!

[MSB]

Allow Custom Avatars! W00t!

That would just be ugly.

[Caius]

That would just be ugly.

Ugly?

[LeftEyeNine]

Ugly?

If he says ugly, it is ugly.

[caravel]

The URL avatars seem to be too big at present, otherwise I might turn them on and turn the others off. If they were scaled down a bit they'd be ok. I think it would be better if the URL avatar replaced the forum avatar instead of being additional, though I do understand why it doesn't and why the admin have configured it how it is now.

[RZST]

That would just be ugly.

my awesome design skills wouldnt make my avatar ugly
in fact, i find the current avatars to um, ugly, that i decided to not have one unless its one of my making

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Ah, custom avatars. I can see it now:
