Ideas to improve zeropaid

[grab_grab_the_haddock]

Off the top of my head here are a few ideas to make things better, and cut out some of the bitching thats been going on lately. These are my ideas an opinions, so obviously they are biased. If you have a better idea, post it.

1- Separate the bittorrent trading section from the rest of the forum

I've never given a shit about the invite trading thread, but I know alot of people don't like it and does seem to be a bit of a moron magnet.
However, I realise invite trading brings alot of traffic to the site, and Jorge needs clicks to pay bills.
So why not settle for a compromise? Take it out of the forums and put it somewhere else on the site or even have a totally different website for it.

2 - get some new moderators

Frankly, I'm getting tired of moderators popping in once in a blue moon to badmouth zeropaid, or going to other forums to talk trash about ZP. I'm not talking about ALL the moderators here, some of them seem to just have dissapeared more than anything.
The only ones who seem to be making a contribution in the forums anymore are soul, LOTD and occasionally rainbowdemon.

3 - have a section for posting .nzb files

They do it in other forums, do it here too. It would bring alot of traffic to the site.

4 - have a "trash" forum for binning spam, flames and nonsense

Another thing alot of forums have and zeropaid should have too. It's irritating to post in a thread which ends up deleted. Instead of deleting threads and the posts of everyone who posted in the thread, just move it to the spam section.

5 - Get rid of the trolls

I've seen alot of trolling going on lately. There must be something that can be done to get rid of these idiots, like blocking their ip range.

6 - bring back cheapprick

self explanatory.

I had to look up what a .nzb file was.

These are good suggestions.

we are hearing you grab grab... changes coming soon

Grab grab, very nice post :) And I do like most of the ideas. I haven't left though. I am still doing my job just very quietly. I have banned about three spammers this month. The other mods are still here. We're all lurking though. It's kind of sad actually. I'll try to get my butt in gear here :)

I hate it when I agree with grab_grab. It makes me feel dirty.

[The Hunter]

Well Im still here, and waiting to get the net in our apartment.

[DigitalJunkie]

Good to see mods are still around to patrol the site! :icon_thum

[Potato]

Nice post grab...

In my defense, I'm around... just been busy lately with new job stuff.

You're right I do feel dirty agreeing with him but, I do agree. For the record, the person whom u speak of, Sonusahu so we're clear, was deMODed for deleting the invite thread which he did I presume out of an attempt to allay your concerns.

As of right now, the only MODs that exist with MOD POWERS are the ones that have already been so for a long, long time.

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

I like feeling dirty.

Good post Grab!

change the layout :)

[linkodz]

Wow man, you still had the same avatar from four years ago........ since that time, ZP has just evolved to a better place. Jorge must be proud of this place........ so many good faces The Hunter, how you doing sir?

[Charles Altmont]

If you havent noticed, Grab is a changed man. He seems truely concerned for ZP and has been trying to sort things out with good posts like this thread. I have a feeling he has been getting laid lately.:icon_salu


I would like to see a flame chamber but I know thats not going to happen. It sure would be fun to say the least. We could have flame contests and maybe win ZP shirts if anyone wants one.
