Default FNG's must interview/pass test before posting.

I suggest a 100 multiple question test and essay in addition to being interviewed before any FNG can post anywhere on this forum.

Open for discussion?

That will be at the discretion of the moderators, and the senior members of their choosing. A panel would be set in place to come up with the questions, as there would be different sections based on your spelling and punctuation, knowledge of MW2 and video games in general as well as your ability to troll effectively.

Ah. I see.

And obviously not going by the FNG title, otherwise you wouldn't have to take it after 15 posts and people would spam to get those, when would it be considered you are no longer an FNG?

Well if you weren't able to post until the test was passed, people wouldn't be able to spam past the FNG area.

Perhaps a test can be issued for current members as well, as a method of refreshing their membership.

I feel that one of two paths would work best for this, as far as how grading could occur:


1. Have a senior panel of members review the test and break everything down to make sure the person is going to provide a truly positive asset to our community. This group could just be moderators, or perhaps mods plus a few well endowed individuals.


2. Have Voodoo flip a coin. Heads means the person is denied, Tails means ViS gets banned. If it lands on the edge, the person is allowed in.


------


As for some questions that could be asked:


1. Do you feel that new and exciting information, such as "Is this new class I just thought of as groundbreaking as I think it is?," merit their own threads? Or instead would you go searching through the graveyards in an attempt to unearth an ancient topic with a simple "/bump" post?

2. Do you feel that the Colt M4A1 is superior to the TAR-21 based purely on statistics and time to kill?

3. Please write a 1000 word essay on what is right or wrong with the following setup:

Vector w/ Holographic Sight + Heartbeat Sensor
M9 Akimbo w/ Silencer

Frag
Smoke

Bling
Hardline
Scrambler


----------


This is truly an endeavor with no limit to how awesome and fail safe it could be

I could not have said it better if I tried. Neepo, I hope that beasTer's account of how the test would be administered is helpful and answered your query.

To the first sentence: Wow, that one went right over my head.

To the second: Is it even possible to land it on its edge without having something for it to stick to?

To the third: Awesome, probably. Failsafe, I have a feeling someone would find a way to get around it.


EDIT: Didn't see your post, GhostHands. But yes, it did.

Well played voodoo, well played.


In all seriousness though, ArenaJunkies had a few questions you had to answer to even be able to register on the forum. To sign up you had to answer things about classes, some general and some specific.

It would probably be a decent idea to have something similar here.
