Board restrictions to new members

(1/18) > >>

Kulverstukas:
As part of the leech reduction campaign which is part of a project evilzone_revival, we decided to limit board access to new members, which means some boards will be hidden for 0-20, and some for 20-50 posts. Especially the ebooks board, which will only be visible once a user hits 20 posts.

This is the current situation:

--- Code: ---Hide boards for 0-19 posts:
    Software and Tools
    Software Exploitation and Vulnerabilities
    Challenges
    Evilzone Releases
    Personal improvement
    eBooks
   
Hide boards for 20-49 posts:
    Software Exploitation and Vulnerabilities
    Evilzone Releases
   
When hitting 50, all boards will be visible

--- End code ---

What? this will increase shitposts you say? no it won't! because we moderate the boards pretty good and boards like random and member introductions don't count posts.

For now whole boards are hidden, in the future we hope to make a possibility to hide only thread content and still show thread listing. Also in the future we might be replacing post count with ratings (the like/unlike you see in threads).

That is all.

I'm ahead of 50 and the VIP boards are invisible. Kulver, you liar!!
Anyway, pretty good step, IMO.

Hmm I don't think that was a good move, at least not hiding the eBook board.

I have less than 20 posts and I'm here for a year and a few months now...the only reson for that is because I don't want to bother you with random stupid questions and I want to learn. And now you cut my only resource to learning. I'm not saying that I'm not gonna find that exact book on the internet somewhere, but here I get a brief review by the expert unlike on the internet.

I hope you will at least reconsider the eBook section.

shikamaryu:
This might be a good move towards making this forum elite oriented board, however, for noobs willing to learn and when becoming solid at something posting and giving back, this ain't good at all. Yes Im talking about the eBooks section that I really like here yet I have 0 posts as Im fairly new. Another sad day :'(
