Default Whats with the influx of noobs?

https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...=200501#200501


Within the past couple of days we've had almost 100 noobs a day signing up. Its the second highest month for new memberships and signing up wasn't even allowed for a majority of March. Did we make it in another magazine or something?

That is actually a good idea. I mean you can allow new people to view the site and the FAQ's but to post they must have a referral or send a letter to jeff stating why it would be a good idea to let them register, thiat way we can keep gay ---- off the forums.

You honestly think jeff would want to take time to read a bunch of letters written by dipshits.

Natural selection, the dumb ones normally get forced out by there own stupidity (except for spenser and hotrex).

If anything charge a cover charge a cheap, one time fee to sign up that will naturally get rid off the people who sign up and have nothing to contribute (Like me)

haha, imadouche is funny, i missed him

we should make the n00bs take a basic turbo test of like 5 questions, if you pass, then you're in

on another note, we should let them sign up, but they need the mods to allow them to view other boards except for like a beginners board.

the minute you start adding restrictions and "member only" privelages everyone's heads start to swell up and then they get stuck and can't pull them out of their asses.

not having gay rules and ---- was one of the things i liked about hmt when i first joined. anyone can come on here and ask stupid questions, douche is right, dumb people will get flamed and not want to come back. if they are persistent then they will either get banned or earn a little respect depending on how they go about it. this site is set up perfect the way it is... it is open to anyone, but the active membership is selective on it's own without gay *** rules on who we deem acceptable and who we can't be bothered with. hmt doesn't need rules other than: "no gay ****".
