Whats being delayed bcs of the forum company
- Our URL will be www.wargamersMalaysia.com - Will be activated in a few days, waiting for approval from the forum company.

Really sorry for the delay. Ty for your patience

Wee.. lunch time!

Thanks Pax! Yeah, the URL, I was eagerly trying to access using the url earlier, but seems like it doesn't work... u register the URL urself or the forum company do it fer ya? Sometimes a new URL might take few day to be "activate n accessible" (to propogate all it's record from DNS to DNS), so I guess we have to be patient =)

i paid the forum company to set it up for me.

Nice work man. Can we know how much we donate will equal to how much credits for the forum?

owh i have posted in another thread here

you can either donate via pay pal or by your mobile.

located here

dunno if its the right place.

i would like t o suggest the each forumer is limited to 1 thread in the player store section.

looking at the past forum, there are a few individuals who will put up a new thread everytime the wanna sell something. it is so cluttered and so hard to find out if the things have been sold off or not.

we leave it to the forumers to keep their store list updated on whats available and whats not.

I support this. This ruling was enforced in WMMalaysia's forum and it made for easy browsing. The only thing you have to watch out is limit the amount of bumps sellers can do.

I support this ruling too!

sorry just got back from a week overseas for work. Yeap i support this too. Will make it a rule in that section

if the players are supposed to PM u to open a store, i would like to suggest a minimum post limit before they can do so (50 perhaps?). furthermore, at least an introduction must be made in the relevant section.

while we can exempt the old forumers from this, the newer forumers may need this 'rule' so that they do not treat this forum as a market.

if its about darthpoke he has introduce himself here

The people who p.m me are those who own stores. Player own stores does not need to p.m me. < that rule is there cause i need to go into the forum management and add new thread topics.

thing about the 50 post is that, the forum is about 2 months old now, some do post a lot but, many more like browsing thru the site without ever posting < my self included. We cant be putting too many rules down cause it "Might" look like a over regulated bureaucratic Hitler, not to mention its hard to enforce them all, and i don't come on that often.

About the users that pop in and sell, i recommend that the moderators P.M them first politely and ask them to intro themselves at least.

Its very important how you play with this issue, on one hand you do not want tepi jalan stores popping up and then leaving, but at the same time you do not want to restrict store owners and players who genuinely want to promote and sell their stuff on the forum.

And again, most of the time i see quite a number of people log in but never post.

I am totally fine with that.

nope. its not about darthpoke. i am talking more about the 'Players Store' whereby dudes come in and post their personal stuff to sell unlike Forge and Warp Space.

this is quite common in the old thread whereby random dudes pop in and their 1st post is about selling stuff they have before being politely admonished by the mods or other forumers to intro themselves.

anyway, its just a suggestion and i do see where u are coming from. no problemo

owh i think i miss read you.

cause u mention the P.M thing so i taught it was about deathpoke

the other guy and the rest who does not post an introduction. You can get them to post one if they dont you can actually lock the thread as a warning. Cause it sort of borderline spam.

And you got the management rights to lock threads if i am not mistaken.

seems like i misread your post as well. lol

i thought the PM thing applies to all players' as well as retailers' stores. my bad

btw, i still havent find out how/where to abuse utilise my power to moderate threads.

if you look at the bottom you can see this

Quote :

You can moderate this forum

its usually below the reply box. you can also lock and sticky threads if you go to the sub thread itself at the bottom you can see

Quote :

You can moderate this forum

click it and you will be able to moderate.

give it a try ^^

nope. cant see anything of that sort. only that i can post and reply.

and there are no moderators assigned to the threads. did u assign mod access to us but miss out on assigning us to mod the threads?

try again and see... i reset the rights and privileges

yup. now i see my name everywhere. hahaha

@yip : with great power comes great abuse responsibility.

Actually, it ain't so bad folks bump in and start selling/buying stuff, I'm actually one of those guys who saw something I want and post there and then folks get me to introduce myself and then one thing lead to another, been converted to (sort-of-kind-of) resident lurker at the forum... I guess if we see some new ID started to make use of marketplace, we just have to get them to introduce themselves properly

@yip @limp
Yup! I agree too! I was one of those newbies last time looking to start Warmachine and googled and found the now defunct Warmachine Malaysia forummotion.

I actually created an account to post and buy something from Tekanan. Well, didn't really take off with the game, but that's how I got involved.

pax....

2 things i thought of:
- can the moderators' colour be changed from dark blue to some other colour? kinda hard to see.
- the trading post; move it to the very end? the topics 'flows' better that way.

ok will try.

Btw sorry yip about saturday was on shut down mode the whole day cause i was working till 8am on saturday from friday

heya pax, how do we put events into calendars?

Is it possible to limit new forum members to only able to post in the Battlegrounds & Profile section?
