IA - Imprt Anoucement

[Bleach]

[shadow=blue,right,300]Firstly, this is about the forum and its status. I will write down all the stuffs about the forum and it is a important notice to all members of the China Journey Forum. (CJF)[/shadow]

------------------About the condition-------------------

This has been what I have been thinking about. We need members and its like our source of food, members is the source of food for the forum. Our school, as I had repeated many times, is the members that we need. ADVERTISE is the only way that will be able to get them into coming into this forum. Much has complained about advertising on the effectiveness of it as it looks like advertising dosen't help much. WRONG! TOTALLY WRONG! People think that it is "Impossible" do keep this forum alive as it lifespan will shorten if it lacks members but we will have a small chance of suceeding if we put in strong efforts and determination. Never use "Impossible" to describe that through your capabilities you knew that you need more than superhuman abilities to keep this forum alive. Its some logical thinking but you got it wrong. The forum will be alive and everything is possible in this world, you will just have to believe in yourself. Its not like its what I learnt through TV Dramas, its what I truly BELIEVED IN. So your beliefs is a huge part of your life and it is the that what you believed in helps you to excel, hopes everyone understands what I meant.

[glow=red,3,300]IMPOSSIBLE! NO![/glow]



[glow=blue,2,300]Activeness of forum : 2s/5 stars[/glow]
Updated every week.

-------------------------Outlets?-------------------------

[shadow=green,left,300]This is neither our primary nor secondary concern, its just that if we kept this forum going we'll make more than 1 forum so that we can have more space to have fun.[/shadow]

This is a future suggesstion and will be overlooked now. Remember, its just going to happen in the future not now.

-----------------------------Inmatured Members-------------------

This is actually what I had concerned about and by Silas too.

Inmatured members are kids that do not understand the meaning of "forum" and starts to make chaos around here. It is disastrous if this happens and we'll have to warn him or instant ban the member if he has gone too far, spammed too much or created too much chaos in forum. I know that kids out there want our attention so they try to reply to every thread and post as much as they could but it is considered as FLOODING AND SPAM! Most of the inmatured kids post irrelevant stuff and idiotic and retarded stuff and we don't like it. True, we've been inmatured while we're young but I never has started playing around in forums until I had matured, and thats when I know I am. Inmatured members are keen to learn actually if they had learnt their lessons, so its worth forgiving but if the member has gone too far we'll have no choice. I hope all the kids out there understand this section as it helps to keep the forum going in pink health. Through determination and hard work, there is hope for the forum. [glow=green,2,300]Thank you to the supporters and mostly, thanks to all who had read this annoucement![/glow]

Well done, Bleach.

First off, I would like to congratulate BLEACH (Admin) for his outstanding contributions to this forum. Therefore, I would like to reward him with the OUTSTANDING MEMBER OF THE TERM ( three months). Well done.

Bleach and I will set up a "activeness" thread where we will rate every member's activeness and the activeness of the whole forum.


ACTIVENESS OF EACH MEMBER
The score is upon five. Activeness will be based on relevance of posts and the no. of posts, and your last post.
Each person will have his own personal score rated by Bleach and I. If your score is an improper fraction, you are overactive. For every improper point you get, your account will be disabled for 2 days.

ACTIVENESS OF FORUM.
This is just a nice little rating on the activeness of the forum. please note that this rating cannot be an improper fraction.

---------------------------------

CONTRIBUTION POINTS

This new system is to encourage advertising and is also an anti spam programme. For every person you bring into the forum, we will give you two contribution points. We will create the contribution points thread soon.

For each person you report to us on flooding and spamming, you get a point. If it turns out to be correct, we will give you FIFTEEN points.

The person who gets the most points at the end of each term will be given a surprise...

Good one Si Wei, +1 karma
Bad for you, someone smited u, I thnik is Xiang xun

[Silas]

hey si wei, ur glow effect is killing me.
---------------------------------------------------
secondly, your red font is also killing me.
---------------------------------------------------
Thirdly,
"Pls do not minus ones karma for the sake for personal revenge or for the sake of fun and laughter."
Exalting or smiting someone is one's personal decision, not one for you to control.
---------------------------------------------------
Fourthly, this should be included in the guidelines discussion group, not here. We are discussing about Operation SPAM Wipeout and Project Advertising here, not guidelines.
---------------------------------------------------
Fifthly, "No triple posting pls, just modifiy your reply." is the same as the below "Dont just wanting to get 5 red stars then get a double post or triple post or 4post in 1 go".
---------------------------------------------------
Sixthly, I disagree with this statement:

"As the admin(s) had said do not spam this forum. first time, get a 10% warning, second time get a 50% warning, third time( i hope it doesnt appear ) get banned from this forum and a ban from your own IP or anybody's IP in any1s house."

The admins choose the warninng level, not you. Don't try to act smart...may ( touch wood) get you into trouble, no offence.
---------------------------------------------------
Seventhly, I disagree with the statement:

"Oh, do not make fun of this forum."

If someone criticises, flame or whatever, it means that we have to make an improvement. If no one criticises, how do we know whether we are doing badly?
---------------------------------------------------
Lastly...

"Do not create an account for just playing and for the sake of getting stars or to be straight, get 5red stars"

well, if they want to get stars they can post with their own accounts. They are smart enough to do so.
---------------------------------------------------
Other than that, everything else you type is OK. I'll include in Guidelines (V 2.0)

[Bleach]

What Silas said is right, I thought I locked this thread?

Plus, karma dosen't do anything.

If I see anymore posts I'll just delete without exception!

-LOCKED AND CLOSED-


Note : Sorry Silas, but I have to delete it, I hate to delete, but no choice, to prevent future mods and admins from spamming...

[Kira-strikefreedom]

erm hm, i dont look at titles. i write wat i think...
no.
1. silas my glowing effect is just attracting attension to all guest and members or maybe admins, therefore red + glowing effect is a good combination. therefore, if you want to change, go ahead silas, you ARE a admin...
2. i said that do not plus or minus 1's karma for the sake of PERSONAL REVENGE not about weather you like him or her or not. therefore again, silas, your point is out of point.
3. both are different matters silas, sometimes ppl do triple post for the sake of fun while some for the sake of 5stars, therefore silas, you got the meaning wrong again! I AM TALKING ABOUT THE REASONS NOT THE ACTION!!!
4. i am not acting smart, but is just my own opioin and an example and i already have a 1% warning lvl for i dont noe for wat thing. OWN OPIOIN UNDERSTAND SILAS? UNDERSTAND???
5. i said MAKE FUN not criticises(btw, criticising is not good, just say out our bad points in a good manner) and both of them are both different meaning. Making fun is about toying around with this forum and give a very bad image. Criticing is about pointing out a mistake in a very bad manner.
6. they are smart??? wat do you mean? dont make me say you again didnt make your sentence clear and wa like some1(no offences to any1). i still dont understand
wait first, silas, you karma! so high! billions sia!
so-reporter sw

-no more replies-
from me myself.

1. Please note that not everyone uses "Blue Ace". And Its killing me.

2. AS I HAVE SAID: They can +/- a person's karma for any reason as it is their own personal decision (whether they like the person or not.), and the reason includes revenge.

3. They fall under the same catergory "Multiple Posting"...now we are talking about the ACTION, not the REASON BEHIND THE ACTION.

4. Please note that it is up to the ADMINS to decide warning levels, not you. Your Job is to MODERATE, not CREATE warning levels.

5. Making fun is a form of impolite criticising. We can ask them why they're making fun and maybe we can learn what went wrong (and funny.)

6. I SAID THAT IF THEY WANT TO GET STARS, THEY CAN POST IN THEIR OWN ACCOUNT RATHER THAN MAKE A NEW ONE. THEY ARE SMART ENOUGH TO REALISE TO. CLEAR? IF NOT, ADJUST YOUR MONITOR SETTINGS.

[glow=red,5,300] DO NOT REPLY TO THIS POST...OR ELSE [/glow] (please note GUIDELINES 2.0
