    I highly doubt that would solve the issue. accidental spam (double posting) is now impossible, and the rest who are spamming intentionally aren't going to read the rules anyway.

    Or you know, you could implement a script that redirects New Users to the Forum Rules, and for a certain amount of time, they can't leave.

    and for a certain amount of time, they can't leave.


    Will scare most of them, believe me.

    Um... About the no-close idea:
    There was only 1 way how to do it: With a lot of javascript alerts. Problem: Chrome allows blocking extra dialogues. I dunno about the others.
    Browsers don't allow for blocking [x] buttons.
    Leaving is unblockable.. Only for programs are leavings blockable: Idea! Implement rules into game, give bonuses for agreeing and following the rules, etc etc?

    A redirect sounds good
    lol maybe like http://20b.org where you try and close it and it doesnt, it just brings up alert messages.

    ps go to that website

    i'm bringing this back, because i have an idea:
    we make sure you are re-directed to the what not to suggest thread, so that people who are not intentionally spamming don't suggest things like moving solids
You need to login before you can post replies
