Dear Co-Member's,

I open this thread for those member have 20 post below, i observe most new member here will replies (thank's) what you think Admin & Moderator's? im sorry if i open this thread...


if one or two post of 'thank's that is no problem but as you see at the banned section..

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

the member's which are banned is almost the have post "thanks" to reach the 20 post and after the 20 post they will stop posting...

we hope members will help each others or contributing and share their knowladge.

as you can see member's list.. (most) of the members which already reach 20 post they stop posting already...

Thank you MicrostarGSM for your reply, i think must better change to 100 post before we can access to download the files here! becouse many new member we will reach the 20 post then we can download all the apps.

I can suggest to you boss what you think if put restriction before we download the file? maybe much better & easy to control this forum...



Best Regards,

johnrebua

Only firmware they can't be download below 20 post, so U change to 100 post will be the same thing happen. Is better cannot download anything below 20 post or more.


Best Regards,

MCCHIA

well
I like the suggestion of 100 or 50 post to avoid the THANK U post.

But isn't there any other option to avoid the thank u post?

although THANK U is also necessary to acknowledge the other mate help :)

We should take each measure to avoid LOOSE this FORUM coz its very very good forum.

i think..
100 POST will be the best...
so people no just postting nonsense to get 20 post only...

Nice thread started by johnrebua,totally agree 100 posts will be the best for downloading,to avoid such nonsense post in order to gain app without contributions.


wbr

Ok, since you all put your opinion here so will I.

I think and hope that the moderators of this forum will put a ban on or at least remove the posts of those users who are below 20 posts and just put up stupid questions like where do I find this and that, can this thing do that and so on. I have seen too many of those users do this crap to get 20 or more posts and do nothing useful here to help others. Also, try to get the members to use the search tool more as I have seen too many questions being answered again and again when the one that are asking simply could have gotten the answer with this tool. If not found in search tool then go ahead and post your questions
I have not gotten many posts yet and I am in no hurry but atleast I do help people and get help from others. You can all check the posts that I have put in that there is no ******** talk. Only real issues to be dealt with.

Furthermore, about 100 posts or more, I have to check how many posts I have before saying yes or no to that. Kidding though.

I think that some kind of higher level is adequate but with some kind of points to be earned for the poster. I have seen other communities regarding computer problems and so on have a system wherein the one who is asking something also get the right to rate the answers and in that way getting rid of all those thank you.
I agree that the thank you also should be there but in this case the poster can choose not to give those thank you any points. On the other hand those thank yous often comes when there is a file or two being put up by, to name one, Edward and others, Great job to you guys who have access to those files for sharing.
This forum is the one and only place to get hold of the very latest files so keep up the good work and keep up helping eachother.

Just some thoughts from Sweden...

Best of regards to you all here, Niclas

hmmm... all i know there are no forum that no get the thanks msg same as my forum sometime the user only type "....." and sometime "?" all i can do just make the room for them that call "Merapu" coz why some of the user did not only want to get the files but their want to access to a part of the forum where set to level so they can in. So i think if u set 100 .... 500 or 1000 there are same thing will happen maybe it can be more cannot control.

I can see that most people that support a (large) limited number of post to allow downloading already posted over the number they suggest :shock:

For all you that have been here for long, please notice that in the beginning you could make a lot of posts just by asking stuff that no one had answered before. Today, all one has to do is use the search feature and find the answer for almost all the questions. It gets hard by the day to post with quality and avoid "thank you" posts. :?

But still, to progress in the GSM world, one must have, not only the knowledge, but also the material to work with; and with this i'm talking about hardware devices and SOFTWARE and FIRMWARE. How can you get people ask and talk about stuff they can't work with because they have no way to get to it?

Sure it's hard to waste personal hours searching around the web for the stuff you need and then have people come here (or any other forum) and register, start downloading them, and not doing any effort. :x (I don't like it also because i'm a mod in another forum)
But there's a reasonable limit to the number of posts and i think that this forum staff has chosen correctly, and is here to stop those spammers

That's it :D

cheers

Forum KedaiKopi

yes you are rite but for 20 post is very easy tomake it..but for 100 post or 500 post..is not easy man...let me as you a question..how many post you can make perday???

if they have reach 100 or 500 post they stop posting then is ok at lease they have contribute or help others members..

if they try to post nonsence post for 100 or 500 post..i think they will be banned before they reach the 100 or 500 post...

if we no limit the download some search bot n spammer will increased our forum bandwith

MMmmm....
2 hard 2 reach 100 posts

100 can but how u want to set limit for special stuff i means when the person want the file or something they must reach 100 first then they get file it means if u have problem and u must get the tutorial u must reach 100 to get download the file how if your post is 1 for newbie??

hello
I vote for REMAIN the same, At first i was thinking that 100 post for download BUT as we are trying here to Stop the Nonsense Stuff so its better to have 20 post :) rather than 100 post ( nonsense Stuff)

at the end i appeal to share what have find to grow and make this forum better instead of downloading.
when i strat joining the forums
this forum was good [Only registered and activated users can see links]
but it crashed.
so we should try to avoid crashing this forum
so please come out what we have to share coz its lot more fum in giving rather then just receiving :)

I Phone is Great :))))))))))

wouldnt it be best that the moderators/admins smply delete posts hich consist of Thanx or Cool!!

I have a phpbb forum and well that what i do. It is understandable how mucgh space spam can take up in the database and tyes it is very annoying!

Although I must say a few thankyou's once in a while can be healthy :)

100post

Yes! Do not validness acquire have no meaning

100 POST TOO

think more is the better, cos i saw somany post by some member just say thanks or what ever else to make them can download stuff from here,

Isn't it possible to require new members to wait X days before they can access the area? I know that is possible in vbulletin...

thank

you are right..
no post nonsensee!!
n i want suggest that old user that no actived for 3month teh user can be delete..
so no user just d.l data..
but sharing they knowledge to other ppl..
i see many user after reach 20post n more.. after that they not actived n just d/l data...
very badd!!
just wanna get.. but don't want to share..

BR

BNC

How bout this one :
[Only registered and activated users can see links] ?

but we all much think about user with dial-up connection like me. some time i like to post good file to share but this will take to much time and to costly and some time in the middle connection will drop. even to view this forum will take time.

May I make a suggestion, I think that a minimun quantity for example 10 sensical posts for the last 3 months is required so that the member can access the download area and in this idea, every member will have to keep in touch with the forum constantly whereas increasing the minimun number of posts for whaterver period will not work.

1 vote for 50 post. 50 post is OK.

IMHO, no matter what limit you set, people will do things to jack up their posts. I guess setting it anything higher than 20 will only make matters worst because now, instead of 20 posts, those desperate souls will try to beat that 50 or 100 mark. I am a moderator too at some other forum and runs a little forum project of my own, and this behavior of circumventing the rules is always there. The key to this problem is vigilant moderation. Give warnings to "thank you" and "send me" posts and ban if needed. That is the only way your going to solve this issue. I see this forum has quite a number of moderators available, I think this won't be a problem at all.

Leave It At 20...Posts Should Be Not Thank You Or Its Sucks.A 100 posts would be too much for some,even 50..Some People Are Only Leaches

anyway around :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Only registered and activated users can see links]
If the new rule will be 100posts OMG!! SPAM SPAM etc....

everybody look topics but rarely write except of thanx..when u need help no one saves u :(

what about the result ?

what about the result ?

@imth

Is for waiting for admin to think 1st. read here [Only registered and activated users can see links]

i reckon it should stay the same, because otherwise if u put up the posts, more people will post nonsense just to get the posts. And also if you raise up the post level, less people might come into this forum.

good job guy

I think the 20 posts should remain as is, but it's with the administrators to judge whether what the members have posted is relevant, not just simply "thanks" because it's so easy to achieve 20 if that's the case, and even if the limit is a hundred, or a thousand. But I think the administrators are good enough since there are already lot of banned members.

with the new vBulletin Version 3.0.3 you can have a reputation for members.
If you look under your usernames in your posts you will see a small icon of a set of scales, you click this to "add" to someones reputation if you think they merit it
you could then change the 10 post rule to a reputation rule.... a member could reply with 1000 crap posts and still never reach a reputation of say 6

Yes mate i agree what you say... the vBulletin v3.03 is the best... also you can give warnings to the members & post limit chararcters... but our forum is PhpBB i think can't moved all the post & thread to the vBulletin??? if want to upgrade....

Regards,

First of all, many thanx to the people behind I-Phone Network and the contributors of information/software for all their hard work. I've just joined and I was not aware of the 20 post limit before downloading (I was directed to this forum through another website and joined because of the information provided). From the beginning, I was able to download files (despite not having reached 20 posts) but I did not do much downloading, preferring to read through the various information available first. So I was a bit surprised to note that one can't download if you haven't reached 20 posts. On my part, I would like to contribute something too, but sadly whatever I could find elsewhere has already been posted by someone else or a newer version is already posted in the forum. So, please don't think that new members do not want to contribute, they may not have the most up-to-date resources to contribute except giving feedback. TQ.

I totally agree !! I have quite a few good files/apps .. but by the time i get it.. its normally already out here !! So... then its a problem again if i post it.. cause it wld be double posting.. ! And then i wld be banned or smthing !
I guess .. the 20 post limit sounds good enough..

i think having so many post just to downlad here is just stupid.. what if you have nothing to share or talk about?

there are pages here, i mean 1 whole page that contains only "thanks" "cool" nice" and "good job"

well it is very inconvienient especially for those who have slow internet connnection..

i suggest that you keep this website organized..

dont mix s40/s60 games
no double posting of apps or games
delete non-sense post
HAVE A DOWNLOAD SECTION!!!

Guys im a junior poster here so see it from my point of view...As said above even i was not aware of the fact that there has to be 20 posts before you can download stuff .....Its a common human tendency to go the other way around to get things for free.So making it 100 will result in more thank you's and good job's...And if you think people should help others to download stuff ..I agree..But think how many days will it lake for a rookie to help 100 people genuinly . For an average person like me if i go through 10 posts there might be one which i can answer...And also contributing applications which are already posted here does not make any sense to me...All i have is already posted by some one else...Whats bad for this forum is repeated posts...If you go through pages you will find too many posts repeated again and again which really slows the forum..So someone needs to arrange this in order so that theres no repeating of applications.And my final observation is that many members are opening unnecessary threads for stupid things like how do i install rar files to my phone..Answers which are already there in the forum..They want everything spoonfeeded..Cant just click the search button .So a good thing would be to delete unnecessary posts and threads...Clean the forum on regular intervals and keep this part of our virtual world SPAM FREE !

Luv iphone-forum.

its better at least posting 100 post only can download those stuff.. coz always got users that spamming the forum posting 20 thank you only... if 100 post.. its impossible that they posting 100 thank you... coz moderator will band them..

My sugession is subject to the fourm's name ( i-phone ) that is if a member is using any product made or supplied by the i-phone he deserves to download any material for his use though his quota of posts is not enough like me i joined this fourm on 30th,oct. 2003 and not needed to download anything before, but when i purchased a prodigy box in january 2004 i wantd to download firmwares and upgrade my box but could not cas of the quota problem now i purchased a N-box, i may be needed new files but cant because less posts so it is requestd to look for those who are using i-phone products but unable to get the benefits.

2 hard 2 reach 100 posts

I guess this is a joke... :D I just started here, but I agree that the number of posts should be increased. There are still plenty of files that you can get if you'd like to stay below the limit. If you really want something then you have to work for it!!

i have contradiction about 50 or 100 post to make download. and i have to say, if you raise the limit for 50 or 100 you'll just have a lot more spammer.
why don't you lower ( :) yes!!! lower ) the limit by 10 or zero, and you'll have the pure and dedicated partisipant of this forum, coz we dont need to read the junk posting. no hard feeling eh.

i wrote probably 30-35 post in 4 days, probably no one with the only reply "thanks!"...'cause i like to exchange opinion about cellular phone, i like to ask help and i like to give my help!
this appen in this forum but the same is in italian forum.
i hate people that only reply "thanks" to reach the 20 post limit...but according to me 20 or 1000 is the same!
who whant to gain the possibility to download apps will answer 1000time "thanks" instead of 20.

probably this limit should be removed at all...so every post will be "free" from unusefull answer as "tnx!"

i've just been in the forum 4 about 3 weeks and it roooooooooooooooooocks...

yeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

i've just been in the forum 4 about 3 weeks and it roooooooooooooooooocks...

i love this forum

booogus

sorry for the second post it was a mistake...!

how to know how many posts made

i thing that good

Hi all
I think that for a newbie making 20 posts is good. You dont need that much knowledge and u only have to read.

hey man i believe 100 posts is to big a task
tell me something man for a layman who has very little knowledge
about mobile this forum is a learning experience
i mean these applications give us a way to explore the wonders of tech.
how do u expect someone to gain knowledge if the forum that is supposed to be sharing knowledge denies them the way to acquire it
just reading about applications and not being able to see how these actually work is meaningless
i mean every one knows the diff. b/w theoretical and practical knowledge

the best way, i repeat, is 0 post!
i'm really (and completely) bored to read EVERYWHERE the word "thanks!"...and unfortunately this appen only in THIS forum... :(
i click a post...and i read pages and pages of "thanks" coming from people who only wants to reach the level "20" only to get programs.

you admin decide: set the limit to zero...or remove the section download at all!
it's an extreme way...but i think it's the only way to let this forum better! 8)

I am new here and 20 post is good for me. But for those who wil post only thanks to reach the limit. I hate them.

there's two way,

1-) Stoping them by doing what requires.

2-) if first one didn't succeed, then remain the post limit same.

And voting for reputation is a good idea i think..

IMHO, no matter what limit you set, people will do things to jack up their posts. I guess setting it anything higher than 20 will only make matters worst because now, instead of 20 posts, those desperate souls will try to beat that 50 or 100 mark.

I see this forum has quite a number of moderators available, I think this won't be a problem at all.


I absolutely agree with you! Not that I'm in any position to comment considering my number of posts and length of time spent in this site is rather low.
Lets us accept the fact that in reality, there really are a huge percentage of people (including ourselves) who are willing to do anything and everything, at great lengths, so as to satisfy their insatiable greed for whatever that could be acquired without spending a single centavo-- even if it means practising the art of sarcasm and arrogance is clearly revolting. Aside from vigilant moderation, one other way of dealing with this problem is simply vigilance.

i think..
100 POST will be the best...
so people no just postting nonsense to get 20 post only...

BR

dear friends,

i think that you got to stick to the poll. see how it turn out to be. many have said "thanks" cause i think they've downloaded the files and they need to say those words.... but for sure, you got to put your eyes on the spammers that typed "fajkfakjfask" rather those who typed "thanks" in the forums. Unless they typed "thanks" many times in each pages of the forums.

p.s - what you expect them to say? "Thanks m8! Come to Malaysia, I'll buy you lunch!??"

thanks guys...

Hi guys,

I think it will be hard to reach 100 posts. Even 20 posts is hard to reach. But if you really have no choice, make it 50 instead of 100.

i think it would be unfair for users that just say thanks becoude they are realy apreciated that someone as given them the thing they wanted.
u should be more concentrated on people who say thanks 20 times in the same thread or people that post thanks 20 times and don´t post anything never again.
besides if u raise the limit to 50 or 100 posts the only thing youll get is more thanks in the threads. threads will appear with 20 pages of thanks and 1 or 2 with usefull stuff.
this is a very serious matter and i think we should consider all consequences before making the decision.
for me: i would keep the post limit with 20.

Hello everyone,

Hi,don't worry why we banner them because in iphone have 20 post so can be downlaod every thing and for F.OC,so all who is work hard is post new thing is un fair for them.

U can go to banner user sction see the reason.


B.R

I don't write much but i read iphone almost every day. I'm asking my self long time why post of the type
10x tnks... are not removed by the mods. In the download section i'm tring to find something and it's almost impossible...there are a ton of thanks. If the members like so much to thanks the author they can send him a PM :wink:
So my opinion is not to increase the amount of post...only to delete (or ban if you want) thew thanks post. By this way the member will have 20 almost good posts not crap ones

I suggest there should be a limit of at least 1000 posts, even to qualify for login :-)

I suggest there should be a limit of at least 1000 posts, even to qualify for login :-)


well...then atleast my grandchildren can enjoy the forum on my behalf . lol... :lol:

Personaly, I feel that any kind of limit on the ammount of posts encourages spamming. Particually thankyou posts, as they are harder label as spam.

I think that a more effective measure is to place a time limit on before getting full access. So someone has to be a member for 3 months or so, before they can access firmware sections, etc etc...

Useful suggestion :-) though im sure admin have very good reasons for the limit that they use.:) thanks for sharing your idea. Br , dmoe

It would like to know. the reasons for the current system.

As it must add to the admistrative load of managing the forums, having to monitor spammers.

If we can get a better understanding of why things are the way that they are, then it is easier to help find ways to improve..

Certainly :-) but only admin can answer that question...Hopefully if they see the need to explain it here they will.

saying thank is a good thing..
it make the people who upload files feel gratitude..
that there is a respond to their hard work ...
but is there some way we can not viewing the thanks but just view the attach files?

I don't talk much. Do i still get to download stuff then?

i think by increasing the number of posts, we are going to encourage spamming just to reach the post limit. at times, wouldn't it better to keep quiet than to post nonsense or useless replies?

it is funny how when people say thanks some people take it as spamming. why not see it from the side of the poster. wouldn't he/she feel good to know that people appreciate his/her efforts?

actually, i was quite shocked that i could not view attachements as i have been away from here for a few weeks

anyway, hope this issue gets resolved quick so that we know where we stand

:P :lol: :(

Yeah me can't see attachment too

weird.....

I'm sure this has been asked before as most questions have. But what are the legal issues with uploading games, and apps on a forum. I will admit i'm a little nervous about doing it.

Hi all,

As in real life, it's not the size that matters, right? :)
So, 20 posts, or thousands... that would only crowd more the bandwith of this board with stupid words, in general.

I think quality posts are a better way to filter this (fine) board, but of course, that would be some work to do for the mods around.

But if these mods want a nice board, with good people and all, well... that's the only way I know to reach this graal...

Well, that's my humble opinion anyway...

Have a sunny day... 8)

hi mate, i suggest 50 post is better.
it can avoid the nonsence msg for reaching 20 post.
thank you mail is the way to show how we appreaciate the poster work.
user which is post the thx in same topic might be banned.but if it in different topic, it's ok.
coz we can prove that the member got to read the topic in i-phone.
and i-phone will be the most popular forum.

I think it will need some time to reach 100 posts. :arrow:

that's why i suggest 50 post, coz it is in middle of 20 & 100 post.

Maybe if u give it a 100 post, u will get more spam instead of thanks.. It may give a negative side instead.

my 2 cents. =)

I agreed to what Yurikaze said,people might just post 100 thanks to get banned

IMHO,better leave it as before coz if u check the forum now,many people posting useless posts with just a word inside.thanks,10Q,great,.... So lame :cry:

thanks to u all

i hope this moderator can give chance to the newer chatter

Well, i think that even if you put 30-40 or 100 posts, u may have a greater influx of 'thanks' messages coz the guys won't know what to write to get to the 100 posts . So on, every pae, there will be 'Thx':). So, better look for another way for it.
Personally, i would prefer it to be the same, i.e, 20 posts. Coz its kind of easy. 100 posts woud mean a long time.

Btw guys, i have 20 posts, so why when i try to download, it says 'user must have atleast 20 posts to read this forum???

Whice section u are going? is Moderator & Admin Discussion right? only going Moderator & Admin Discussion well be out '(user must have atleast 20 posts to read this forum).

Guys , no need to answer th question 'user must have atleast 20 posts'. Czo now its working. I dont know what happened. So u dnt have to waste ur time in replying it.
I would like to say one thing though: The mods r doing a gr8 job. It isnt easy to monitor such a website, u can guess. So i don't think that people should just post 'thx' everywer to reach 20 posts. It makes life more difficult for the moderators.

I agree with Mestrini - it is good for people to be interactive on a site such as this. But as it covers so much stuff already it is harder for a newie to get more than 20 posts happening before being able to access any useful dowloads. Also as newie it is hard to upload much either, coz it seems like it will be already on the forum. I have software that came with my 6670 but it would be doubling up to post it here. I would love to share anything I do come across my path - but it will probably only happen as I get to be more experienced with my phone and this forum. Thankyou that the posts minimum is set at 20 - it makes it more accessible for newies like myself to be more interactive with a shorter goal ahead.

Yeah! sivee is right... I take everything from I-phone. I have no source from which I can contribute to I-phone.
It is very hard to get to 20+.

Please ppl suggest how to get genuine 20+ without 'thank u' and without contributing any software/game.

Why don't the admins or mods make a "Thank You" button? Like [Only registered and activated users can see links] this will prevent ppl from "TKS" posts, and um, you should have more mods to del spam posts :D

I can see that most people that support a (large) limited number of post to allow downloading already posted over the number they suggest :shock:

For all you that have been here for long, please notice that in the beginning you could make a lot of posts just by asking stuff that no one had answered before. Today, all one has to do is use the search feature and find the answer for almost all the questions. It gets hard by the day to post with quality and avoid "thank you" posts. :?

But still, to progress in the GSM world, one must have, not only the knowledge, but also the material to work with; and with this i'm talking about hardware devices and SOFTWARE and FIRMWARE. How can you get people ask and talk about stuff they can't work with because they have no way to get to it?

Sure it's hard to waste personal hours searching around the web for the stuff you need and then have people come here (or any other forum) and register, start downloading them, and not doing any effort. :x (I don't like it also because i'm a mod in another forum)
But there's a reasonable limit to the number of posts and i think that this forum staff has chosen correctly, and is here to stop those spammers

That's it :D

cheers


U r rite bout spammer... thanks for yours words..

I agree with mestrini post above

in my opinion, no. of posts limitation depends on all senior members, mods & admins decision.
as i'm still junior :P

but to avoid spamming, there is a way i discovered at another website, i.e. the user must atleast type 20 words in a post and that the current post cannot be the same as previous post (so no copying-pasting those thank-you'sss).

that's all i can say & i think 100 posts is enough limit to make someone bore of those silly spams.

jascorp9 i agree with your line of thought and will try to get that idea to administrator.
thank you for your concern. :)

Well actually you can try to add a little puzzle which has to be solved while replying.. so people will get bored while posting just "Hi" and only genuine replies will be done..

Litlle puzzele can just be like wjat is 8*7 or something else...

stay the same and keep rockin'!!!

this site already rocks!!! why change anything?

erm.. if increase to 50 or 100.. wont it cause even more 'thank u's?

Hi, I'm new in here and is exploring it when i come across this. Basically i feel, it is no use in increasing the number of posts needed. It wont solve the problem. People will simply try ways and means to reach the number of posts needed and then forget it. Hmmm, how about eliminating those users who don't log in by a certain period of time or not posting anything by a period of time, if that can be done. At least, can get rid of those who only interested in themselves and not in sharing or helping in whatever ways that they can.
And i'm surprised about the thank you thing. I cannot imagine how serious the matter is but i feel, sometimes people tends to forget and do what comes into mind and says the word. Maybe can consider being a bit lenient? :wink:

We are lenient to an extent but members who repeatedly post just thanks do get banned . To forget once or twice ok but when 'forgetting' over and over and over then action must be taken...

leave 20 post please

there is no use in keeping this topic open since this rule wont change. the administrators decision is final.
if you have any suggestion about how to prevent spamming plz open a new topic in this section.
