Keito Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 So I joined the site a few weeks ago - but noticed today when going to the shoutbox that I couldn't speak. There wasn't a box to type anything in for me, or a send button for messages. Is the shoutbox reserved for certain members only? Or do you get authorized to use it on case by case basis? Thanks for clarifying. 1 Quote
howie eye Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 same here.... and thanks for doing what you do i would be SOL without your modpack h Quote
Almace Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Aslain mentioned the other day that you have to have made at least 5 forum posts, in order to be able to use the sandbox, iirc. 1 Quote
tr0c3k Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 It should not be like this. I think that it's kinda usless to spam forum whit usless posts :P Quote
Almace Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Well, I think the idea behind it is that ppl don't abuse the shoutbox and spam useless crap, unless they have applied themselves some in the forum activities and are genuinely interested in communicating with others. It's just a guess though and I think it's not too bad of an idea. Ppl who just come here and want to read things - and not post much - usually don't have a reason to use the shoutbox either, I would think. Others can warm themselves up in the forums, so to speak, and then get a little bit more involved and use the shoutbox, if they please. 1 Quote
Gosomer Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 anyone know what happend to the engine and gun sounds :( Quote
Puritania Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Wrong thread buddy. Not compatible with 9.2 i think. Well we need to have specialized thread for spaming , so people can spam shoutbox too :P(just jokin) Quote
Almace Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Hehe. It's not too hard to get 5 comments out of your system anyway and if one cared enough, they can even be good/helpful/funny ones. There are enough topics anyway and I bet - on a day like today - there would be hundreds of ppl just asking "when is it ready?" or "why does that not work?" all day long in the shoutbox, if there wasn't this restriction. Kinda encourages ppl to actually visit some threads and maybe read. =P Quote
Administrator Aslain Posted July 31, 2014 Administrator Posted July 31, 2014 Fine, I will remove 5 posts limit :) Quote
Scorpiany Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 It should not be like this. I think that it's kinda usless to spam forum whit usless posts :P 5 posts isn't really that many. :P Quote
Keito Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 Thank you very much for explaining, guys. :) Quote
Administrator Aslain Posted August 27, 2014 Administrator Posted August 27, 2014 Yup, I changed it to 3 posts, for educational purposes :) To prevent new users to posts their issues on shoutbox right after registering on the forum, at least to make it harder ;) Quote

Administrator Aslain Posted August 28, 2014 Administrator Posted August 28, 2014 >>>Makes Thread<<< >>>Comments in own Thread<<< >>>Comments again in own Thread<<< Time to complain in the Shoutbox. :P Still giving them some time to think and to post a thread instead to spam the shoutbox :) Quote
itsXthomasTAG Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Aslain mentioned the other day that you have to have made at least 5 forum posts, in order to be able to use the sandbox, iirc. Thanks to the OP for posting this question, i was on the verge of doing so myself and thanks to Almace for answering it. Now i won't be sitting here scratching my head wondering whether i should post or not lol. 1 Quote
Scorpiany Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 how many is it now ? It would be three. Three posts, infinite potential. Whether you use it for good or trolling is up to you. :P Quote
