oobisboon Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 An "are you sure" message saying This is the "forum section name" are you sure this is the proper forum section." So people don't accidentely post something in the wrong section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelioSpark Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Wouldn't work unless you also gave a decription of specifically what goes in that forum. Just saying the name wouldn't solve the problem. Interesting though, not sure if its practical to implement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying the name wouldn't solve the problem. Interesting though' date=' not sure if its practical to implement.[/b'] I like the idea... Labrocca made a "Default Message" plugin for MyBB that allowed the Admin to put in a message for specific forums when someone's posting a new thread. It would remind users of rules that are constantly broken in that section, or even remind them of what section they're posting in. I use it on mah boards 2! =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGAKITTY Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 That wouldn't fix anything. Most really bad newb cards in realistic, the people posting them actually think they're realistic. Thus, even if you gave them this message, they'd simply click 'yes'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silas Angel Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 It isn't a message that you agree to, it's one that's in the post before you start typing... You'd have to erase it or else you'd post it too :P I guess one backlash is that we'd see that message in newb posts everywhere because they won't backspace 0.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, everyone would immediately learn to ignore it, in the same way that they already ignore the part of the Post New Topic screen that tells them what forum they are posting in.
