Buy memberships with points

MentaL also likes to make money, that's why he sells subs and doesn't just give them away.

Refer to my post and you'll understand why money isn't really a factor.

You're probably not a member of the facebook group then since he gives away fair amount on there.

OT - The point wouldn't really work if the user has access to Mental's lair though.

Remove points gain from Mental's Lair? I'm confused though about that... do they earn twice the amount by posting in there? If so, I'm pretty sure it'd be obvious if someone was exploiting it. Then again, not trying to down-talk anyone, but Mods don't seem to pay much attention to spammers. A perfect example is Ace/ihatehaxors

You gain 2 points for every post made which includes those which don't increase your post count. (ie Mental's Lair)

Basically means anyone with access there can just post in the trek/last post threads like the current people do and easily gain enough points required.

Doubt it can be removed from gaining though...

Which further makes me believe it would be fairly obvious if someone is spamming in there. Then again, I do agree with it being easy to get points there because IMO, it's basically a slower version of Instant messaging there lol People post like 1-2 sentences and wait until someone responds. I'm sure it could be removed, just have to know what language each is coded in.

Thats to easy then people would just spam all over the place. Like literally spam and make new topics just to spam we have to have another check on this idea.

Spam shouldn't be an issue if Mods are there to do as their title says... Moderate. The biggest sections have more than enough of a staff to handle it. Maplestory, the biggest section on Ragezone, has 6 plus a Supervisor. The point is, it can easily be controlled. I think people are thinking too far about the negative and not even attempting to fathom the positive. Ad revenue would be much more if something like this was added.

A majority of the posts I see in the MapleStory section are mostly spam, but I usually don't see them being deleted unless someone else, or I report them.

I would love to see more people taking action and doing THEIR job for the community. Releasing, telling people what's right and what's wrong. You get the idea.

It depends on what you classify as spam. As far as releasing, it's still steadily updated with releases. Telling people what's right and wrong, that is a Mods job. Granted they aren't like Flowsion and publicly discipline people, I believe they are doing a great job there. It's not always what you see in the open that makes the biggest difference. It's what goes on behind the scenes. And you're right, quite a few posts don't get deleted unless reported. You also have to take into consideration a new thread is made like every 5-10 minutes, if not sooner. A new post is made every minute. It's not the easiest thing to stay on a steady watch and review every single post, which is exactly why there is a report function. Anyways, let's not let this topic drift too far from the original topic.

This would be a bad idea because, everyone would have a sub and no more cash coming in.

Ugh if you guys remember from Maplestory section 2008 there was a new thread every reload. Mods did their job too, but the problem with that was that every mod had a group of haters and they would bash on how they would do their job, which kinda made it difficult. ( I can kind of see it still happening right now, just a smaller extent. )

I never once said that the staff wasn't doing there job.
I was just saying maybe they should roam the sections more often.

Instead of just the Moderators, why not EVERYONE do the job? Report, report, report.
