I suggest a new Newcomers-System

WARNING : This is only a suggestion

I think all of this Community is happy to have new comers
But some newcomers (and I fear some 80% of them) register here only to post a question,and then say "thanks",then leave our Great Community forever
They should register to post their opinions in very intresting threads,post helpful comments...well,to make Heroes Community a better place
So I suggest a new system here,is not very complicated,but it should work:

 For all who only want to ask some questions

Well,here can be used a GUEST-SYSTEM,for them who can select simply a username and password,ask the question,wait for answers,and then when he is sure,he won't need to ask more questions,he can only ask a Moderator (or the Admin) about his questions were answered and he will don't need help,so the Moderators or te Admin can delete his profile

 For them who register and they want to post all their oppinions and make HC a better place

For them,between the CoC who they need to read when they register:
To be added there a comment who will say this "If you registered here,not in the GUEST-SYSTEM,you must post here up to 15 comments in 5 days,their profile will be automatically deleted



I want to see here the Moderators' oppinions or the others

Why does it bother you so much that some members only come to ask a question or two?

Too tiresome for the Mods/Admin. Maybe if it was done automatically like I suggested once: all profiles with less than 10 posts get deleted after a period of inactivity (1-2 months)

Relax, not all have the free time you do. I know many people who login every few weeks or months, it would be sucky if they had to make an account each time.

So what if we have some members that only have one post? You don't see them anyway. And the number of those members have no influence whatsoever on the number of members who are here to stay. Besides, don't forget that the community has to serve its members just like the members should serve the community, and that includes answering questions. Also, some people may not know that they wish to stay when they register, they ask a question, see that they got good responses so a week later they ask another one and gradually stay here. I say: let them have they freedom of choice without small technicalities that will only complicate things more than necessary.

@Ash
Why? What if a member has only one post, but that post started a discussion that others can enjoy? What if someone made a few good points here and there and then lost interest? Should their profiles be deleted along with all their contribution?


And besides, the absolutely only reason to delete profiles or restrict creation of profiles (IMO) is to save some space in database, and I don't think we're in such a desperate state right now.

@Elvin: But it's not hard to post 10 times and get rid of this "account deletion", if you really plan to stay on HC, that is

But Geny and Vokial have a point... but I didn't know that your posts also get deleted though

Don't worry...we do a "profile" cleansing every now and then. All profiles with only few posts in last 6 months get squashed badly....

Yes Volkial,but if the question was a lot of pages ago,many users don't read the other old posts to see if his question has been already posted,and answered...
