password for server?

[me_b_kevin]

now i know this has ben brought up in the past and i'm not sure how it ended up back then but with the HUGE influx of people that either don't visit the website to know the rules or just don't want to follow the rules i think we need to revisit this.

would it be a good idea to password the server....put it in a pinned thread. maybe have it at the end of the rules? heck i'd even change the password from time to time so that everyone had to visit the forums frequently...maybe once a month?

with the global server down (i think) would it do any good at filtering out the ones that "stumble" across our server?

my opinion on this is that it may not completely stop the non-rp'rs but it may slow them down and every little bit will help.

now then, what do you think?

Passwording the server could help, but we should make a poll to see if all the community is for this

How many times has this been discussed ? And with the same answer ... Not going to happen, too restrictive,
and way too hard to police. Locked servers never encourage anyone to use them. So no poll please, nothing is
going to change in the foreseeable future.
Thanks guys ...

If people aren't going to bother going to the forums just to find the password then they really don't exactly deserve to be on the server, considering you cant roleplay very well if you don't use the forums...

i'm against it also Jes, trust me. but i'm also against playing with people who have no idea there's a forum, much less rules.

i often wonder what they think the RP stands for when they see the server in their list..."Random Party"?

but anyway...

it may be that it is a necessary evil to cut down on bad players

Passwording the server MIGHT cut down on the terrible oorp behavior that has been exhibited but its not a guarantee, there are people out there who actually go out of their way to piss people off, and having the password at the bottom of the rules isn't going to stop them
it'll stop all the well meaning but ignorant folk we all once were.

another idea, take the direct connect off the mod info and stick THAT in the rules.....

Passwords would only make it frustrating. How many times do you think people would just share the password with friends? That would not make people read the rules, just make them search the forum.

Passwording won't help with the rules.

The rules themselves need clearifaction and revising.
