Thats WORSE...

If the Forum feels that way, then obviously we won't do it. We're trying to make the system as fair as possible whilst making it work properly.

People have been complaining that there is too much flaming and trolling in the Web Dev. forums so we're trying out an idea to combat the issue, please let us try it out and see how it works. As I said before, if it doesnt and the idea fails then the Forum will be removed I'm sure.

It's not going to combat it, it's going to make it no different; and this idea about the poll will be a popularity contest, you said it wouldn't be. & Also, if we think it's not going to work and make things worse; we have the right to complain.

I haven't seen it happen (yet), but I guesse if you say so...

Really? Wow.

I just think anyone should join. As alot of people who may not know advance coding might want to try and help.
I know i would im not a great coder but i try and help still. Yet i'll get dismissed quickly..

It's pointless . Surely the forum in general would be better if something the users wanted was added and not something random out of the blue that technically is already available / exists...

I think a lot of people are missing the point. A lot, and I mean a lot, of people have been complaining about the insults and flaming and arguing in the design and development area. This forum is for users to make a thread knowing they're not going to get bullied or flamed. The members of the group would be kicked out should they bully and will only be accepted if they have been active in the section for a while. This would mean new members may not join immediately but if they show dedication they will be.

Users will be safe in the knowledge that they will only get useful replies.

Ye all that ever seems to happen around this forum is people flaming like mad.

If people want to get a straight answer without the word "fail." posted repeatedly then why not let them?

Anyone can apply for group membership so it really makes no difference to people willing to help except for the fact that random people looking to cause arguments wont jump in every 5 seconds.

I thought I'd never say this; but if you want to complain - use the complaints forum. The idea is still in it's early changes and changes will probably be made to make the new forum better.

Also, just look at the above replies - they are from the people that do use the Web Dev. forums, I understand how they feel which is the reason why I came to MAD with my idea for this Forum. It IS needed, I'm sure if you visited the web dev. forums you'd easily understand.

Anyway, I've done enough arguing, I'm now going back to the Web Dev. forums to begin to offer help

If you have any Web Dev. related questions - feel free to ask us them here

Then simply ban the users who flame or remove their access.

According to Invent no they cant, only the "best, well known coders who people like" can join. :rolleyes:

It seems as though if the management are interesting in something they'll introduce it, but if a lot of members support something they will ignore it.

Any proof of this?

I can't see it making a difference; don't take this aggressively, but I know for a fact as I moderate the Web forums that if I predict right, most of the members going to be in this group are the ones that flame/argue themselves.
