Feedback on the new forum.

[Dracophile]

Hey guys, RFS here -- been a LONG week setting this place up. Could not have done it without the help of Ben and all the other guys over at Miniclip. I want to know what you like and don't like about the new forum, and why.

What do you think about the new subforums? What about smilies? Tell us how you feel and we will see if we can accommodate accordingly.

Please do not suggest bigger avs/sigs or allow under 13 year old users.

Any way of making the smileys look less ugly on the posting window, I know the colour scheme are hard to blend, but when posting they stick out like a sore thumb.

[Jmclark911]

I really like this forum so far, and I think we all are gonna like it away from MC, where RS players come in and annoy us. ;)

[Caboose]

Sweet work. I think I can settle down pretty easily here.

I did notice now it shows how many people that are looking at the sub forums, thats pretty cool.

The subforums rock, and I love the Active users on the bottom of the screen.

Overall, 100/10 for the new forums! I'm lovin it.<3

[Tokyo Boy]

I like everything, but the smilies. I liked the smilies on Miniclip. Everything else is great though!

[Dracophile]

The smilies here are the ones from the CP game. I'm aware of the white BG, there's nothing I can personally do to fix it as I don't have a program that can, but I have already gotten it taken care of and they smilies will be updated soon.

[Tetsumonchi]

Since its the Club Penguin forum, we thought the actual Club Penguin smileys would look better here than the standard smilieys you get on Miniclip.

The only problem is the white square around them. Other then that they rock.

I think you did a good job with everything.

I like the forum avatars, I think they are very nice.

I Think The Fourms Look Good :D

You Guys Did A Good Job

We Waited A Long Time For This

[Intel]

I like the setup for now, not bad. But wow, 40 thread already? People have alot to say :O

[Dracophile]

Keep in mind the avatars here are nowhere near "new", they were here on the old Miniclip forums as well. ;)

[Little Milky]

I'm going with Gamerboy, the smileys stick out. Maybe you should try making them transparent to blend in with the background?

[QAZAR]

Keep in mind the avatars here are nowhere near "new", they were here on the old Miniclip forums as well. ;)

True, but they are all Cp, wich is good.

I don't know about the active users area on the bottom though, at one point there is gonna be a lot and it might make teh page load slower, who knows.

[Darth John]

I think this forum is much better than the other one. It is much more organized and spam free

[kogeck]

It's great! I hope this one is spam-free. You guys did a great job. Thanks!:sick:

[FunnyBoy]

Wow! I really like it. I like the smilies, and i dont care about the white around them, since on my computer, i view it at an angle, where that doesnt show much.

Anyway, i like everything about this forum, especially the post game type section.

You guys did an awesome job at this forum ;)

Though i do think the other one looked neater, this one is better for CP things.

[Tetsumonchi]

The only problem is the white square around them. Other then that they rock.
Unfortunately, we can't do anything about that right now. But when you think about it, its not a big deal.

This is a reallt good forum. I like the smiles:!: Good job on it!

[«Snow]

Nice job, I would just like for you guys to enlarge the size of the forums, and make it take the whole place (or almost) of the screen, just like the official MC forums.

[Ultimate Gaming Master 07]

Great job on the smiley's, good idea to put the "moderator" symbol in that everyone went nuts about yesterday.

[Cooler]

The new forum is great! No one to bother us now. :)

[Jeffman]

I love the fact that you added a game forum. I remember Retrodude asking for one. I really like the size and community so far. Hopefully both sides of the situtation will be better now. Much appreciated.

[izzystradlin963]

I saw that many people were complaining that the smilies had a white box around them so i decided to try to help. I made the background transparent on all of them. I know some of them look better than others but all i did was a quick background deletion. I can go back and make them all better if you want.

[Michelle]

Me likes the smilies (Especially the throwing up one! Yay it's what I always wanted! ) but they're kind of big.

[RoYaLeTTe]

157 users in way less than one day. That's cool? Lol penguins. :D funy smilys roffle

[Dracophile]

157 users in way less than one day. That's cool? Lol penguins. :D funy smilys roffle



RFSHQ saw a similar spike the second these forums crashed.

Thanks for all the emails and constant bothering in various forums/chatrooms guys. Thanks a lot, really helped me fix something I have no control over and something that happens ALL. THE. TIME.

[RoYaLeTTe]

What did the emails say? I mean were they at least polite in asking all their jumbo? Oooh, did they curse at you and threaten you to an early grave if you didn't get their forums up again? Hehe, I'll go with polite. They love you so much...

No. They were a bunch of anry 8 year olds complaining to me about something they broke, and treated it like the end of the world.

INTERNET. :mad:

[Manty]

Any way of making the smileys look less ugly on the posting window, I know the colour scheme are hard to blend, but when posting they stick out like a sore thumb.

Thats what I think also. Maybe instead of the backround being white. It it ok but it doesn't blend in as well.

[RoYaLeTTe]

They stick out like that in the game, don't they? Not everything has to be beautiful, I mean they're penguin smilies.

[Tetsumonchi]

No. They were a bunch of anry 8 year olds complaining to me about something they broke, and treated it like the end of the world.

INTERNET. :mad:
I got some emails as well. I just told them that the servers crashed and there was nothing we could do until Monday.

[Pikedog Riley]

Great job with this, RFS, Ben, Tetsu, and Everybody else.
I'm still finding my way around.
Is there a Requests & Trades Forum?

[Tetsumonchi]

Is there a Requests & Trades Forum?
Yes: http://penguinforum.miniclip.com/forumdisplay.php?f=27

[Pikedog Riley]

Yes: *URL Here*

Is there a Club Penguin Requests and Trades?

[Tetsumonchi]

The Requests and Trades sub-forum covers Club Penguin art as well as regular art.

:)

[Pikedog Riley]

Oh, the Title ''Non Cp Art Gallery'' threw me off.

[Tyl3r4]

I' like the new forum, but i'm not very fond of the ranks

[Crazy-Bot]

I' like the new forum, but i'm not very fond of the ranks

Of course, all the suggestions are looked into and you could help all of us if you not only came with a complaint but also with a good alternative.

[Tom]

I'm not sure if its my vintage computer or the forums but it seems everytime I go to post into a thread it dosn't appear AFTER I refresh my browser, is that a fixable problem? :)

[icee weissy]

I like the new forums, you guys did a nice job designing it. the only downides are that the avatars seem to have lower image quality (or im just color blind). Also the smilies arent as nice as the ones on the old forums. But everything else is good.

[Michelle]

I don't know why, but this forum loads waaaay faster on my phone. =D
And the smiles are waaaay better.

[Zeekman28]

the forum is great i think people finally learned it time to stop spamming!

[SteveTParkin]

Well, what can I say. I think all you Mods and Admins have done a great job! *claps* *claps*.

I'm just checking though the forum and I didn't notice the forum with the ranks ect. (I must be going blind)

Well, I think that everyone will calm down a bit and not post that much nonsense. It's a new forum and it's a new start for everybody here!

[koolkiernan5]

I love the new forums way better than the old one i like it
because there is more forums to post things on and
it is more fun thanks for making it better

[Shades]

This forum is much better then the old subforum; It's more laid out then the old one.

One thing;

Can you make the emotions Transparent? They look quite bad with a white background around them.

[Tyl3r4]

What don't you like about the ranks?

They aren't bad ranks, i just liked the ranks on miniclip forums better, but this isn't miniclip so they're fine.

There's definitely less spam, which I am thankful for. On non-official forums like mine, they have the whole 'popular thread icon', like this one. I'm not so fond of that. Not sure why, maybe because I'm just used to Miniclip.

[11dx11]

The forums are great, everything fits In perfect and everybody are adapting to the rules(pretty same rules as MC)


The smiles are good. Im not complaining but the background needs to be fixed. But everything else Is great!!!

[I Ate A Fish]

I feel refreshed having a new forum. :P So far everything's running smoothly, and the forums are very enjoyable. I think it was for the best breaking the MC forums. Great work on setting the place up!

[Robo]

I think everything is good.Maybe a few more smilies but other then that nice job.I like the idea of club oenguin getting it's own forum.

[Red Ribbon]

It's great but I sort of miss the :-p smiley on the MC forums, now replaced with a smiley that looks like it hates what it sees: :P

[Balthasar]

I think its definitely an improvement since the old ones. I think it's well set up, but is for sure a bit different. Overall, I do enjoy it far better than I did the other ones. Great job. :D

[JoeyPeng]

We need sarcastic smilies.

(rolleyes)

[I Ate A Fish]

We need sarcastic smilies.

Joey's right. ;) We do need a rolleyes smiley. That's a good idea.

There's not one in CP... unless someone wants to edit me one and post it.

It feels Different than the old forums and i am happy we broke appart Because if we didn't I would still be Banned.

oh and i can make the sarcastic smileys guys! i know how to!!!!!!!!!!!

[Whilo]

I like everything about these forums,even though it's my first day!

[QAZAR]

I didn't log in for one day, and already I can see that we are not off to a very good start.

Already there have been multiple threads locked and misplaced, and not to mention plenty of pointless threads.

It's very sad, people just post whatever they want for the heck of it.

Just as I had said in Mc, people just brought their old threads into this forum without even waiting.

People are still posting utter nonsense and spam.

The only difference is that there are more mods, which isn't all together true either since MC had many mods.

People think that a new forum was gonna change everything, yet not even an organized sub-forum filled place like this is keeping people from posting garbage.

It's inredibly sad that already people have negative ranks and this forum hasn't even been open for more than a couple of days.

I think after a few months everything will clam down. If we turn post count off, were going to see LOTS of better post.

[Sunnyboi14]

I really am happy with the way the forums came out, i thought it would be bad in the beginning, but then when i looked at it, it was a lot more organized. The only thing that i dont like is the smileys, i love that you put in the CP ones, but the white spaces stick out a lot.

[Tyl3r4]

I just noticed that the character amount has went up to 35, hopefully this will help the forum and not encourage more spam.

[David Shawn]

It's great to me. It's way better and bigger the the old forums.

[Sandman]

I like the news forums!
Now that it came out, I don't think I will be on the other forum much!

[8stoplight8]

One thing is that I think that you should make the new smiles blend in with the background of the forums; not just a white background.

I hope you consider this!

[imono]

Testu who is the new mods in this forum

[Bassplayer]

I love this forum! The other one was getting really packed and there were spammers everywhere. This was really needed.

[RoYaLeTTe]

Now they old forum is dry. Takes like 5 minutes for a post to trickle in while you guys have about 7 or 8 posts every 10 seconds.

[Waitor]

Are they at least happy now?

Maybe the other formers want them back a little, tiny bit, because there's nothing to do, and no one to flame.:D

[acef596]

i like this new forums subsforums avatars similes good job RFS and BEN and those other people at miniclip

[Tyl3r4]

Yeah, of course they miss us at miniclip, i went on there earlier and it was quiet? :O

[RoYaLeTTe]

We don't miss you. Don't you dare say that. We miss the good General Chatters who came with the new forum because it was more exciting.

[Tyl3r4]

That was sarcasm, even if it didn't seem to be.

[Beckett360]

Well, you are getting a lot more stricter on these forums, or its just a lot of people with less than 50 posts are not doing so well...

Nice job RFS, Ben, Tetsu and the rest of the Miniclip team!

[Makarov]

I know here is for Club Penguin but all the ranks consist ... penguin. I think more spam is being produced by the new 35 character rule. I have seen some replies saying, "yea I will join dsdsfgd (35 characters.)" and I am not trying to be mean but why can't we say R E T A R D E D?

[Tetsumonchi]

and I am not trying to be mean but why can't we say R E T A R D E D?
Because people here will use that word to insult each other.

People are getting busted for lots of things that they "got away" with on Miniclip. This is because we can afford to have several extra hands around on the forum specialized for CP. We urge people to read the rules to know what's not allowed. If they think they can wing it without rules and common sense, then we think that we can ban them. :P

More spam = more bans. If your message is under 35 letters it doesn't need to be posted, simple as that. People doing things to get around the filter get infractions, and after 5 you're gone. As for the filtered words, there is no good use for that word. If you are using it to describe someone's actual medical problems, you can say "mentally challenged" as that is more polite anyways.

Probably not, but you may have noticed that the profanity filter here leaves ***** in place of bad words, so we know when people are up to no good. If your post has those, use a different form of the word.

[Burgerfries]

Probably not, but you may have noticed that the profanity filter here leaves ***** in place of bad words, so we know when people are up to no good. If your post has those, use a different form of the word.

Yeah, I've noticed that the filters on these new forums have been extremely good in filtering bad words, and the names of other forums/chats.

Also, can we get something in place that prevents the use of more than [insert number here] of things like "!!!" "..." "???" and overuse of the same symbol/number/letter? I've seen tons of posts getting over the limit with a half thousand dashes or hyphons after the actual post.

[Makarov]

Maybe more will be added in the future?

You don't contact us. We contact you.

You were also KICKED OUT of Miniclip and forced to join here.

[QAZAR]

Is there any way you could make it so that ONLY in the clubs and teams forum could you lock your own thread?

I say this because it seems that many people give up on a team thread in a couple days and just start a new one.

The rule is that you could only have one thread, and that you should lock any other existing clubs that you have made before you go on and make a new club.

I am constantly looking over the clubs and teams area, since it is the main area I look at, and I am always reporting people that have more than one team.

there is no problem when their first team threads are very old, because you can tell which of them is the one they want, but instead it is the people that have 2 or more new teams going on at the same time.

I put it in my guide, and it is in the other sticky thread, but some people just don't get it.

It might seem like I'm the only one that cares about it, but it is a problem that I see almost every day.

I don't chose to post in the threads, since reporting them is better, but I feel like I am hastling the mods to keep working in the clubs and teams.

I know IATEAFISH has responded to at least 5-10 of my reports, and there are more every day.

It's just a small problem now, but as teh forum grows so will the problem, just like in MC.

maybe you could make it so you could only have one thread made in the sub-forum, and you can't make any more.

Just thought ya'll should know.

[Dracophile]

I don't see a feature for being able to open some form of "global moderation" for all users in just one forum, I'll see if Ben can help me check in with that.

[QAZAR]

I don't see a feature for being able to open some form of "global moderation" for all users in just one forum, I'll see if Ben can help me check in with that.

It's not a big issue for now, for the most part the mods and mod trainees are pretty quick about it. I just know that it can grow into a bigger problem.

[RoYaLeTTe]

I've not noticed. I do see where you're coming from but it doesn't seem like a major issue at the moment. It'd take a lot of work from the staff, no? I say just make a good thread on the subject and post it there. If you haven't already, that is. WANT ME TO DO IT?!

Edit: Brought to you by Slow Typing Inc.

There are two sticky threads there already. One which is tetsu's and one that is my guide which says:

26. Starting over
- It is always ok to start over. Many teams don't last very long, and it is a good way to learn from your mistakes.
- If you want to start over, or make a new team you must first have your old team thread locked by a mod or admin.
- Having more than one team thread at the same time is against the sub-forum rules. It can actually get all of your team threads locked, and yourself banned.

You can't get any clearer than that. NOt only that, but the rules have been the same since MC forums, which the majority moved from.

It's more about reprimanding ignorance, than repeating the same thing.

[Gamerboy]

Can I ask you something? Bribble is filtered and when you type Bribble it comes out like *******.

Now that looks like swearing, what happens if someone reports you for saying Bribble.

[Burgerfries]

Can I ask you something? Bribble is filtered and when you type Bribble it comes out like *******.

Now that looks like swearing, what happens if someone reports you for saying Bribble.

I think it's just a website filter, put in by the manufacturers of these types of forums to prevent competition. Since bribble is another sort of chat.

Also RFS, you never responded to if we could be allowed a maximum of punctuation or symbols in a post. That's how most people get over the 35 character limit.

Well, if that's even possible, it wouldn't work out. Sometimes, people create lengthy posts and if there is a limit to punctuation marks and symbols, then the post wouldn't come out right. It would be missing a few commas and periods, making it confusing for others. The best thing to do is what RFS and the staff has been doing (which is giving out infractions).

[Gamerboy]

In response to bugerfries post, perhaps you could install the repeated character mod. Therefore if someone goes ......................... to increase there post it gets shorted to .

You have it all wrong. I don't mean a limit of "five periods or punctuations in a post", I want it (like Gamerboy clarified) to not allow over 3 (or whatever number) punctuation/symbol/letter in a row. So if someone made this post:

"Tat is rlly cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D :| !!!!-_- :?: "

You have it all wrong. I don't mean a limit of "five periods or punctuations in a post", I want it (like Gamerboy clarified) to not allow over 3 (or whatever number) punctuation/symbol/letter in a row. So if someone made this post:

"Tat is rlly cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D :| !!!!-_- :?: "
----------------------------------------------

It wouldn't allow that.

But still, I don't think that the staff would install a mod for it. It's not too common amongst the users in this forum. Yes, there are a few users who still do that, but they have been banned already.

Let me ask you something, Burgerfries. Would YOU really want a lot of users like that on the forums? Or would you rather have spammers like that kicked out of the forums so the place can be cleaner and more fun to be at?

There is no point in pampering people who don't have the common courtesy to post right.

They are great forums but I ate a fish is getting a bit too power hungry no offense.
I was happy because I was going to see chuckles2006 for the 1st time in a while so I put in smile faces. Then wondering if anyone was watching nc state vs. unc I got another warning because I placed the offtopic in the wrong place I don't want to be banned again but
ALL MODS HAVE SOMETHING AGAINST ME!

I am just representing human emotions!

[Tyl3r4]

I Ate A Fish is a great mod, most people here only deserve one or two chances, and he's banned multiple spammers already, but i guess everyone has their own opinions

[QAZAR]

I wonder if we should have an Emergency thread like we used to in MC.

Not becuase the report system doesn't work, but more for people to see what threads are being reported so they know where not to post.

Maybe as the threads are taken care of, the posts about them are deleted?

It just seems like many people don't have much sense in where to post.

Example:

Threads made by "TETSU GOT OWNED" where it is clear the person is just posting top get tetsu.

Or threads like http://penguinforum.miniclip.com/showthread.php?t=2184 where they say "give me your password, no scamming"

Also, sometimes no staff is on or there are questions or concerns that are too minimal to make a thread over.

I didn't see a problem with the emergency thread in MC, but for some reason it was taken out.

No, your posts were only about 10 characters and you used smilies to beat the limit. That is against the rules. You did not get in trouble for your off-topic posts. You were only punished for breaking the rules twice after being told not to.

These were your posts:

"Where are the maifya now? ? ? ? ? ?" (I removed 5 question mark smilies because I can't have that many smilies)

"I will be there in a second.:D :D :D :D :D"

That is obviously trying to avoid the limit. You're not going to convince anyone that you were "expressing your emotions." Follow the rules and you won't get in trouble. The ACP has already been warned that they're being watched for spam.

[Dracophile]

Miniclip and these forums got rid of the Emergency thread because we used reports, which are more effecient than a bunch of posts in one thread, especially since people tend to go off topic in that Energency thread. Reports are clean cut, and to the point.

Here's the post, here's the link, here's the poster, and here's the reason why it was reported.

[Gamerboy]

QAZAR I think we don't need one, because spam threads are so easy to spot it doesn't take a genius to work it out.

Half the people wouldn't even bother reading that thread, so there is no point in it being there.

That's true.

Iateafish is very prompt with the reports, he usually locks threads shortly after they are reported.

It was just sad to see people post in threads that are clearly rubbish.

I have noticed that since ranks and post count are not visable, there are fewer posts per day.

There are also less new pages of threads. Let's hope it stays on the same path.

Since there is no post count, lots of users feel that it's pointless to post excessively now. Before this, people would create dozens of threads and post like crazy to increase their post counts. But with anything, there is always a negative connotation to it. In this case, it's less threads and posts.

So far, there is less spam and people are acting more mature on these forums than they used to. But like you said, the forum is becoming less and less active. I just hope that everything works out for the best (especially since there is no chance of post count coming back).

It is a great thing that was finally done. I have a feeling that in the future, it may, and that is a pretty big MAY, be turned back on. I don't think RFS will be doing that in a long time let alone at all. Also, the post count is actually shut off? I thought it just wasn't visible.

Well you can still see it on peoples profile, but i think they are trying to change that. Once they do that, post count will be gone and no one can see theres or someone elses number of posts.

[Cutiepie22360]

To tell you the truth I luv it all!!! The smilies, sub-forums, and everything else....plus there hasn't been as much spamming since we got these. Sometimes its hard to find the sub-forum for something but I'll figure it out (someday) lol. It was a great idea to make these new forums! TIP: maybe when you type a post / thread you should be able to decide what type of writing you want such as arial, comic sans MS, or even times new roman. You might even be able to decide whether you want you letters to be size 12,10,14, or 16. Please consider those tips.

The post count is technically still on, it's just that the post count isn't shown next to your posts (its still in your profile). However, QAZAR said that the post count was going to be taken off of everyone's profile later on. I'm not sure about that though.

If you want to start a new club, you can report your own thread and ask to lock it. That way, if we see someone has two clubs and one of them is locked, we will know that you wanted to start over.

[Balthasar]

Now that Fuzzykiwie has brought up the idea and now that the forums have been open since the beginning of March, are there going to be more smiley faces. or are we just going to stick with what we already have?

Oh, and I think the whole concept of having no post count is going great so far. The forum has been better since then and there are no more of those dumb threads to increase post count now. Finally, this forum is ALMOST acting the way it should. :)

Yeah, no post count is going great! There's still the occasional, "Un ban me on cp!!!1!," and "and new glitches that havent bin found," but they already were found, but everything is still going great without post count!

I'm getting used to the smilies, and they're seeming better for me.

[Waddlerdude]

Hmmm. I wish that :rockband: could be brought back.

[Dracophile]

All of the forum superstar wannabes have left because they know that their dumb spam posts will just be ignored, because they have no post count to increase anymore. I have noticed a drop in activity, a GOOD DROP in activity. The spammers are leaving or are in the process of getting 5 infractions.

As for smilies, I still need to fix the borders on them all or maybe see if I can get a few custom ones thrown in. I will do that later, right now I'm still in the middle of a lot of things.

Personally, I don't mind if it takes a while to redo the smiley's and add a few. Eh, for now, I can just use Smileyx and add those ones to my posts.

I'm glad those popularity freaks are gone from the forums and that the few that remain have close to 5 infractions. Hopefully this forum will finally be the way the other forums on Miniclip are--spam-free, nothing dealing with popularity, and more mature posts.

Eh, naming people isn't the best thing to do. Although, it's evident who those users are (a majority of the popularity freaks who are still on these forums have the "Triple Rule Violator" or "On My Way Out..." rank).

[RoYaLeTTe]

It's a well laid out forum RFS. I love that there is no rank or posts. That cuts down a heckofalotta spam.

Vital left for a number of reasons. No post count was not one of them.

[Jeffman]

Vital left for a number of reasons. No post count was not one of them.

Thats kinda sad. He has been on these forums for a looong time, He had his ups and downs but still, Vital Viper was the name of these forums...

Anyway, can we like in anyway choose from a different set of ranks in our profile and everyone can choose from the same? I mean I don't care about the ranks but it is just a suggestion.

[Dracophile]

I'd rather not try to incorporate any kind of complex rank system, as anything that involves more than 1 step seems to confuse the majority of the users here. I know there will be a few people who will read instructions once and immediately understand it, but I really don't think wasting time testing and adding ranks and groups is going to be worth the effort.

I don't see why to cut it off completely, penguins are too lazy to look at everyones post count in their profile.

[RoYaLeTTe]

Nothing was worth the effort. They came, they spammed, they left.

[Tokyo Boy]

Thank goodness they left. On the old forum they came, they spammed . . . and still spammed even more . . . Not only do we have to not deal with post count anymore, but spammers too. Soon all those spammers will be gone, and only the mature will remain. You won't see a spammer or Rule Violator rank, multiple threads, useless guides, and threads that were posted less than a minute ago.

[RoYaLeTTe]

What do you mean they? Near as I can see you're a penguin too.

You've basically just stated some common known facts and things that have already been said. Trying to sound whatever, I don't know. As if I needed to be told, yeah. Thanks. I don't like you, never did.

I am being a bit too hard on you though. By them, you obviously meant the people with the insanely high post counts. I guess that's who I was referring to. I guess.

Is it me, or are the time zones off? Every time I choose GMT -4, the clock is always an hour ahead of my time, but every time I choose GMT-5, the clock is an hour behind. I know that I could always turn off the automatic DST detector option, but I was wondering if it was me. I have a feeling it's due to the fact that Congress passed legislation and made the Daylight Savings Time 3 or so weeks earlier than normal. But I'm not quite sure.

[Dracophile]

I think it's the same on Miniclip as well, just tick the hour to the next increment and it should be fixed. It won't make the Earth implode or anything.

RFSHQ is never "spammed" by CP users. The RFSHQ trolls and moderators from Something Awful flame them until they leave. Works fine for me. Most CP players don't understand the concept/humor behind RFSHQ so they just get overly confused by not lurking and just make themselves look really dumb.

Make your text white and do something like:

Blah blah blah Halo 3 this and this and that, and then there's this plot twist where (highlight for spoilers) Master Chief has a tea party and reveals Halo 3 is just a money scam.
