Re: Making CD a More Constructive Place

Obviously there are some roots that these discussions come from. Most include words that we do not wish to hear or see. A simple way to prevent posts would be to have the site prevent people from posting if certain key words are used. Obviously people will just remove those words and then try to post again, but to prevent that I feel that there should be a temporary ban for even trying to use these key words. I am not going to provide a list but moderators know what they are looking for and most of the time it begins with a single word.

Logging IPs IMHO is a good thing because it can prevent people form making multiple accounts and abusing the system. Yes there are ways around it, but this is the best solution I can come up with for this. Also, using this you could IP ban someone for a given amount of time for saying harmful things, again, his system could be abused but can be rectified by having a 2/3rds moderator vote to ban someone or something along those lines.

To prevent it from even happening, to gain a membership, you must receive an invitation, much like g-mail. The site can then cut down on those accounts that post once and never again post, find people who want to actively engage in good debate, and not allow those who just wish to slander in. For rookie teams, a set on invitations can be sent to their main contact so they know about the site, and can register for an account on CD. Like Ken said, CD is not a Public access forum.

These are all suggestions that I have just come up with to help solve the problem, you may critique them, share your ideas, but I would just like to remind everyone that this is a brainstorming thread and no idea is a bad idea (until evaluated).

(this was not well written because im writing it in a crunch so dont get me on that stuff)
