Lightbulb New member..hazing?

I am thinking we should step out of our boundaries here...and make al new comers take a quiz, on our rules and expectations. By FAR
it will reduce the amount of diaperverts on the site.

"Oh man I got to read the rules AND take a quiz before I make this stereotypical thread?" *crazy fat, manbearpig exits*

Of course its just an idea...very basic but..it would work right?

Umm, even I wouldn't want to take a quiz on rules for a site... I see where you are coming from but thats a way to take away potentially good members too...

Ya, Full Metal has a point, and either way, the bad always slip up and reveal them self to be who they truly are some time in the near future.....

Hmmm how about this? You must first post in the greetings forum to register; also to register you must scroll down a quick faq (like agreeing to terms when installing software) where you tick a box at the end of each sentence in the faq... The faq would outline what we are about. Maybe we could head off 'verts at the pass by saying what we are NOT about?

I'm happy with how the mods are currently doing there job. And to reiterate, they ("diaperverts") all slip up eventually.
