I have been brainstorming ideas to get this server more active, because activity equals donations equals it staying alive.
What I have come up with is a user based voting system for new members and bans. Â It would best be implemented as its own web site, but would require some web development and programming I don't know how to do.
In order to get added to the server's whitelist, you need votes (thinking 5 to start out with) from other members. Â We can have each new member start a thread requesting to be added and once they get enough votes, a mod will add them.
Banning will be carried out in a similar manner, either in the users original whitelist thread or another user starting a thread requesting the ban and then gaining enough votes for a mod to go in and ban that user, either temporary or permanent.
Heck, we could even start a separate SMF board and use user karma to define that, assuming that the permissions of the board can be set up so that only approved users can be allowed to vote on karma.
Feedback about this idea would be appreciated, as well as additions or modifications that would make it better.
