    Default Delete secret password thing on intro

    Well i have seen many introductions and many users instead of the secret password hidden in the rules they put propably their secret password..lol..
    maybe dont delete it but change something
    for example
    whats the secret passowrd to enter this forum? - read the rules again , dont enter your password(tracker,forum or whatever)

    torrents before community should be what it's all about.

    maybe it can be named "hidden password" or something like that...

    Correlated with this:
    I also noticed that this password is in the last paragraph of the rules, which is where everyone will look for it first, mostly without really reading the rules...

    Obviously that's a problem, but if you don't place it at the end, they just stop reading where the password is placed... maybe it's an idea to copy the whole thing and put it twice in the same message, with between the 2 versions of the same rules, a line saying what the password is and that the rest of the message is a copy of everything above.

    i think they should just get rid of the secret password completely because people still dont seem to know how to follow the rules. They have the secret password(which they probably copied from another intro thread if that is possible) but constantly people post ratio proofs that are poorly edited or sometimes not edited at all! They are missing speedtest and think it is ok to trade invites!!!!!

    I Don't think anyone that didn't read the rules before they post will go and really read them through because of a password. They will probably just look for it and copy paste it, It's the mentality of the one making the introduction and I don't think you can really change that.

    It might also be better to explain the question on trading invites a little better. Many people think that what we do here is trading invites and don't really understand that trading invites is something different.

    Also the question "My username is not the same as my tracker name" could be formulated a little better. For example "My username on this site is different from any of the usernames I use on other sites".

    About the trading invites question: I applied for membership yesterday, and some people didn't like my answer on that question. But it just asks what the applicant thinks about it and has nothing to do with the fact that they would trade or not on the site here. I had the feeling people expected an answer like "I know it's not allowed here so I won't attempt to trade invites." (or at least I hope that's what was expected, because expecting that everybody changes his opinion to get into a site is a bit too credulous imo.)
    Me myself, I only said that I think it's risky business to trade invites and that people know the risks and must suffer the consequences (or something like that), because that's my real opinion and I always try stay honest.

    But indeed: most people probably don't even know what's the real purpose of this forum, so maybe that question (and the no-trading rule) should be introduced by a small explication about the purpose of the site...

    I'm just thinking along and let everyone know my views, it should not be seen as criticism on how things are done right now ;). (that's a common mistake; people should be less 'hurt' by criticism and complaints, and make better use of it)

    I think if someone posts their real password they deserve to not get in.

    Messing up the secret password should be an automatic denied introduction, it shouldn't even be something we ask them to try again on.

    It should be, oh, nope, you didn't read the rules, you probably never will, thanks for trying - see ya.

    Need help? PM me and I'll find you the answer.

    I'm very new here so my viewpoint is probably more biased towards the person trying to get in. I don't think the password request should be deleted. It's a very small thing and helps weed out the riffraff.

    I have a different idea of what should be done with the password request but that's a topic for a different thread, I don't want to hijack this one.

    i also said that the format must be changed in order people could understand what its about and not post their passwords.

    My apologies TranceX, but reading the title of your thread and then the contents of your post leaves me confused. Do you want the password question deleted or do you want the question reworded? I don't want to be nitpicky but they're two separate issues.
