CASE NUMBER: 443 THE PLOT Moderation, control, management. Their required in some form to run a shout box such as ours. However, there's one thing missing, a rule that makes people post threads instead of advertising their URLs directly. POSITIVE IMPACTS OF ACCEPTANCE The addition of this rule would add more power and control to the staff of this website by providing the ability to view the URLs and it also doesn't show directly on the home page, exposing it to incoming visitors. This allows the URLs a user posts to be tracked and can't be as easily hidden. Visitors wanting to view the site must now view the thread first, making them spend more time on the forum and possibly even register. NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF ACCEPTANCE The acceptance of this rule addition would make it harder for staff and users to be notified of advertising or inappropriate content on the site. This will force staff members to actually click on thread links to view URLs, delaying the removal time. THE JURY NOW DECIDES Green Checkmark - Prevents The Crime From Occurring as Fast, yet Unnoticeable Red X - Criminal Can Continue to Act Fast, However Noticed and Tackled Down
That is correct, but just in the shoutbox. It has both disadvantages and advantages as shown in the post.
