Children forum

[kokoTorEncrypt]

Last year, I saw this forum, it was somehow a really dedicated IT forum. Now, when I finally made an account, I see, a forum where children ask stupid questions. (like I want to learn C++, where I start).
I propose: At register page, make a labyrinth between onion site (I am sure, that 40% of this forum, don`t know what it`s an .onion site). I can help you with that. (onion = free site + request some IT knowledge to access it).
Or I propose, to change this forum name: White Hat Learning Programming. + an age restriction.

Skid filtering is in place and under review.
Every forum get skids, they will find a way in, our 'super hard' question ended up on yahoo, go figure.

[nulldigit]

I think all your suggestions sound like shit.

[gray-fox]

an age restriction.

How you think that would ever work. New register candidates send copy of their driver's license to ande?lol [emoji14]  Besides, I know that here is many quit young people that are very respected members of the community. After all many people start programming and other stuff this community is about in quit young age. So it doesn't automatically mean that a kid is a skid.

I'm not even going to bather  commenting your other suggestions.

Evil Zone have sections for newbies programming newbies hacking newbies ...
so newbies thread should be probably found in these sections if moderators are doing a good job (i don't know about it i don't browse the forum often)
as @proxx said skids are on every forum and they'll end up finding a way to bypass any challenge you make on registration (who can't use Google ?) + what's the idea of a forum ? isn't it a place you learn from others and help others learn ?
when you started browsing the Internet you was a Skid probably or you as born knowing how to code and how to hack ?
it's always good to be nice to new members and help them pass from being skids to have some good knowledge

This has been discussed time and time again.
We will have a certain leech ratio but this is also what gives this site its traffic.
We (mods & admins) do mod this forum on a daily basis and we feel this is working as it is.
Suggestions are welcome though , It is appreciated, we ourself discussed this last month iirc.

true if i remember right i was there this day and the only one on irc who was against those sections was geoff

I was talking about the staff boards.
But now you mention it I think DeepCopy dropped the subject on the IRC.

@ontopic

I forgot to mention that most of the skids will stay away after getting bashed and since there is no breeding ground we have a relatively low percentage of shitpost.

i'm not sure who started this on irc but if i'm not mistaken it was phage talking to geoff anw i'm kind off taking this thread off topic so back to the topic i'm against both suggestions the age restriction and the labyrinth challenge to be able to register.
+Evil Zone is still one of the best forums you'll find on the net .
oh one more thing find me one big forum without skids and i'll send you my pic naked

SecurityOverride has this feature where you need to complete x missions before you can actually post which seems reasonable, the scope of the forum is different though. I know some members are against it because they would have never registered themselves with such a system

Eventhough we have a massive amount of accounts only few of them are active, I think evilzone could be more interesting when there are more active members.
Making it harder to register might hold back potentialy good members from ever creating an account.
I am not sure how great the impact would be.
Myself I am a lazy asshole and might bail out on something that takes too long.

you have a point here laziness might stop members from joining the forum .
and for some reason i don't know EvilZone have a low number of posts per day for such a forum

I'd say because not many know of it, I didn't until someone recommended

[blackeagle]

in my opinion it's because people don't value content i know a lot of people that really believe that hf is a great community well for me it's one of the worst but they just love these kinds of forums full of shit

Was discussed in IRC, hence the new registration method and if you idle in #register long enough lots of lulz comes from it. /me thinks having a #register lulz thread could be fun.

@OP
Maybe we should have a way to recognize terrible grammar and won't let them post again until they pass a grammar test. But then this thread wouldn't exist if it were the case.

My ultimate suggestion was a questionnaire. For example you get asked a few multiple choice, yes no, true false, questions to determine your current skill level and what you want to accomplish. Throw in some skid answers like hack Facebook, deface websites, Pro hacker, etc. When they pick options like that it up bans them on the network (irc included) and redirects them to HF.

Lol
