New Members - Suggestions
Tuesday, January 28, 2003 by Fuzzy Logic | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Have read many threads lately regarding people who seem to think the site should be free and then complain when their 50Mb cap is reached. It seems appropriate to remind new members their status is temporary, and encourage them to become full paying members. One suggestion is their title be altered to something like 'Registered Guest' or similar, to separate them from the large number of decent Citizens who have paid their dues. New members should also be made more aware of the benefits of full membership. People who go away disappointed or disillusioned are members lost.
Not every one is a pc or internet expert. Another suggestion would be to have more links to the FAQ. It should appear on every page in a prominent position. Most questions on the message board are from people who haven't noticed the FAQ. At the least it should be made easier to see.
A positive attitude will ensure the site grows in the right way with a higher proportion of paying members. It should be the ambition of all new members to become a Citizen, and the ambition of all Citizens to encourage new members. A healthy well funded site benefits everyone.

Maybe the link to the FAQ should read "Answers to all your questions about customization HERE"

Great idea Fuzzy! It should at least cut down on some of the trolling. Chef Garry has fingers crossed.
Phreak notes "Then the next level up, 'Citizen'. And finally 'Deity'?"
The pantheon includes Jafo, Janitor T-man, Koasti and of course the frog.

Most definately.
anyone who's UserID has less then 4 numbers deserves the status of deity automatically.
I would like to nominate werewolf for deity as well.

Your welcome werewolf.
If one shows great benevoulence, does not one deserve to be titled Deity?
Even if one is a hairy deity

Being a db kinda guy, I'm betting that that the member since info is stored somewhere. I know if it were my db it would be.
