As per my complaint here and here, im proposing that a sanctified Kopitiam be put, that is formally opened to every member, but with every single spam and nonsensical or /b/ meme or FIRST SECOND THIRD whatevers posted, that person is demoted back to the dirty Kopitiam. Thus 1 person have only a single access to either Kopitiam.

With this, hopefully, with time, we can weed out all the trouble makers and segregate them into one Kopitiam, so we can keep all the turd there.

Its drastic, and perhaps a tad impractical, but i just had to suggest it . What say you?

kopitiams are meant for those kinds of spammers/noobs/dweebs in the first place

and can i ask who would be the one's demoting people back to the "dirty" forum? Not to go against this suggestion but wouldn't it be causing too much hassle to the moderators??

At least a sanctified Kopitiam as forementioned can be used to discuss General Topics WITHOUT trouble makers, and yet those discussions might be trivial, as not to be "as par" as a "Serious Topic".

I support the idea.

~Cheers!

i prefer to support 'freedom of speech'

Like I mentioned before.
Instead of "serious" as a tag; let's have it as a sub forum for more easier monitoring too..

I agree. As I've suggested before, here's a visual

wat happens to all the craps in current kopitiam then...? all thrown to /b/ ...?

seriously admin deosn't cares whether it is new or old Kopitiam, cause everyone now has their own place or subsection to post/spam, it's the amount of users that is important to maintain the bills for this forum, cheers

There is always two ways of looking at this.

If we do come up with a more 'serious' kopitiam, it would work for some, but at the same time it would degrade the old kopitiam even more. You will then have jokers saying that everything should be allowed in the old kopitiam because its not the serious kopitiam. Moderators also end up having to do more to maintain the sanctity of the 'serious kopitiam', and have less time to oversee the old kopitiam.

We do at the moment practice selective suspension on members who flaunt the rules. Its just technically impossible for us to monitor each and every posting in the kopitiam and give out suspensions for every small rule violation. If you as a member choose to flaunt the rules, and escape with it lucky you, but if you get suspended, then tough luck.

Our moderation might be lax at the kopitiam at times, but we eventually do nail those who unnecessary spoil the topics in the kopitiam. Judging by how bad things have become, we might start to be a bit more trigger happy in handing out no-appeal suspensions.

more mods to do the job ?

If you need help I'm offering myself. (yes I'm unashamed)

first criteria for moderator post - 0% warn meter.

try again in 6 months.

i got a clean record

so do I

I'd love to look over Nintendo, Sports Games and kopitiam subforum

"Serious" Kopitiam = RWI?

That's what I thought.

I think the only proper way to "clean" Kopitiam is to appoint more mods, as the amount of post here I think far outdo those of other sub forums.

Thank you for being optimistic.

Main Site/Forum Feedback and Helpdesk, is not a place to spam, keep it in kopitiam

Frankly, I believe if the new Kopitiam can be used to discuss "trivia" but with "proper conversation standard", and not junk, it would be a cleaner version of Kopitiam, and for those who knows how to appreciate it. Even "trivial" questions like "Which Supermarket offers the cheapest Cooking oil" can be discussed, but with proper basis and not "Tesco Rox!" etc.

I don't mind sparing a few moments of my time. In fact, I would be glad to help.

~Cheers!
