Thread: Registered Members View Only

Me and my dumb ideas I thought it be cool if we make the match server forums in each game registered forum member view only.If someone browsing our forums wants to for example get the sourcetv info,or pw information to events,tournaments,matches they will have to register to the forums first .

Join our community ,join the fun register at the forums for more information etc

huh?

Lol he is saying if you want to participate (or view that section of the forums) in matches hosted by TPG you need to register.

Could increase registrations and we'd have less lurkers.

Could decrease overall traffic since search engines wouldn't pick up on the threads.

I don't know much about that stuff, just thinking out loud...

im impartial one way or the other. For things like match server hltv info I wouldnt mind putting a name on each connect.

Though we do litterally have 3000+ members who have ZERO posts....

What I meant is TPG events,tournaments or areas that host ip addresses and pws require a registered forum account view or at least a verified email address activated account.In all maybe a few more areas to require registration and even account level view.
I would even be so bold to make a overall requirement for registration view that are deeply used by regular register forum users or users that have email verification to view.
For better ip cross reference with game server ban list and with improved anonymous proxy ip restriction security to which forced registration and multiple dynamic ip logins may help prevent any hostile act in the future or malicious data flooding can be minimalized.
