I vote remove it from open chat, limit it in threads. After all, this is a freeroll site and from what I hear there are plenty of staking sites out there. Stake requests/begging seems to be a cancer here, on a site that wasn't created primarily for that purpose.
shitt..... a month MINIMUM.... i was actually thinking more like 6 months .......Quote:

but there needs to be more requirements.... like 10 or moer positive feedbacks, and uh... i duno more more moer!
Even big staking sites allow new users tog get stakes, this should be done on the discretion of the backer though. I like the verification process and things set up here so maybe the person HAS to be verified to post for a stake, but its up to the community if they want to help out a new member or not, everyone is entitled NOT to stake a new member.Quote:

The problem is multi-accounters under new aliases that think they are sneaky. I also don't think giving stakes has anything to do with getting stakes here, they are separate ventures in a sense.Quote:

We aren't a staking site.
or we can always just keep it...
stake at ur own risk.... and let the members decide... leaving PO out of it totally...
the trusted members will rise to the top....
itll handle itself...
my 2 cents on this issue are as follows. normally if a person is looking for a horse they will make a post. it should be ok to ask in the chatbox if someone wants to run also. some ppl are always looking at the computer screen so they may not see the thread(if not looking in marketplace) or see a person who just asked for horses. maybe set it to once or twice an hour. far as bumping a post goes let em bump as much as they want. whos it hurting? this goes for ppl looking to stake only. for ppl asking to be staked via thread, they can bump 1 time per hour. if they bump in 59 mins or less thread should be removed for not following protocol.
if you are gonna stake someone USE the offsite trading form. my dumbass has failed to do so on 2 occasions and its burned me. so USE the goddamn form. otherwise why did zab spend the money.
as far as tenure goes, im torn here. not everyone whom applies for a stake is a former member who scammed. and quite possibly may be a damn good player. and of course there will be ppl who apply anyways if we made tenure an issue. id like to see at least a member for 3 months, but its up to you guys really. idk thats all i got right now so use the ideas if u need them
No, it can't stay as it is - this place is becoming a mad house of the same 2-3 people clogging the chat begging for stuff.Quote:

The quick chat things i mentioned was this:
@rivdee: basic avoiding begging standard is 30 minute min between chat requests, bump thread only up to 3 times a day, preferably only 2, am and pm, and since we have 2 channels, setting up ask/receive stakes and stuff could be dealt in there
I'll touch more on what I mean later after I organize my notes. Thats the general idea though
Fact: Playing with your owning money, staking yourself, cashing out yourself, and not begging for stakes = 0% scam chance 0% rep tarnish chance
30 min between ask sounds fair but it gets annoying when the whole chat is filled with stake stake stake every 3 words shouldnt be able to copy and paste the visible chat into word and use the search future and find it more than 5 times lol
