Yes you have now posted so you can now download the answers and play the games in the Arcade.

I was hoping that you would post a Hello with a bit of info about your self. Where you are located or what quizzes you like, you can even tell us what you had for breakfast if you like.

Im just trying to get users to post and interact

Do you ever scream when people just literally post that they're only posting to download the quizzes? i've only been on here a couple of days but i can see it must be frustrating!

Personally, I would either put the minimum post count up a bit, so anyone who really wants the quiz answers would have no choice but to get to know a few people on here before they can have them-and by then they might not want to leave! or you could have the compulsory 1 single post and a donation to the site if they would prefer not to post anything else! that way you would at least get a bit back out of it!

We have thought about that, but then we would get more rubbish posts so decided not to... it's a vicious circle!

i guess so. it'd be too time consuming deleting all spam posts that were just written to boost the post count-someone would have to moderate 24/7! still, if someone doesnt want to post i think they should be made to donate or something (not that i know whether you can make someone donate!) at least then your getting a contribution to costs if not to chat!

Yes I do get somewhat irrated when people just post rubbish
We have considered increasingte post requrments, but, as MadCat has indicated it may just make matters worse

Im currently reviewing the Welcome Email, I'll be adding a bit of guidance and advice into it.

We sadly havent had many users Donate yet

Thanks for the constructive feedback

Thank you, all donations go to help running costs of the site. I run Siliconhell as a hobby as I don't work due to ill health.. all costs come out of our pocket. It's really nice to think our guests think enough of us to donate something towards the site.
