Novice Barkpark Problem

Soccer17MVP · July 2008

After a certain amount of time (maybe 2-3 months) and a novice player hasnt gotten reported or done anything wrong and they have been on VP at least twice a month for the past two months or something then they are allowed to use the bark park. I don't know, just throwing ideas out there.

tarnish · July 2008

No. This has been suggested numerous time. Novices are not getting another board. <a href="http://www.virtualpups.com/index.php?r=vpKennel/view&id=147794"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://www.virtualpups.com/index.php?r=vpKennel/view&id=147794</a> Read the 'To Novices' section

I really don't like this idea.. Just because when novices were allowed to post on the barkpark they took advantage of what they had, and lost that authority. I personally think linked novices to sponsors should be able to post, but that's just me

That's ridiculous, did you not notice how some of them were abusing it. Cussing, and saying they need friends or someone to talk to. Some even still pay sponsors to post that for them, not the cussing though. There are little kids on this site that do not need to see those type of things. Novices can find people who will post for them for free or for a small price. I am friends with a few novices that don't mind the bark park being taken away from them because they ask people to post for them. It isn't that hard to do. They would like more people to buy sponsor accounts but this was not to try to make that happen.

Ok I see what u mean but i was just saying.. :roll:

JessicaHolmestead · July 2008

Yeah also what if they are doing this for the money.. Vp needs money to run.. and without the upgrades VP would NEVER survive.

tarnish · July 2008

That's beside the point. Are you even reading what I had? The issue was their spamming. It was not shut to the bark park so more would run off and buy sponsors. It was a waste of time to delete their innapropriate messages and that help could have gone into helping people that need it. Simple.

I love that part on your kennel tarn.

tarnish · July 2008

[hijack] Hehe thanks. I had too many sections and I was thinking of what I could put there and that striked a fancy. rolf (yes rolling on a laughing floor) [/hijack]

HMMMM...I have a Okay Idea....How bout... For a novice to post in the barkPark they have to be a member for altease 6 months...then they have to atleast have 60k to trade in for a reduced sponcer(They have the oppertunity to post in the BarkPark, and one import and only last about 2 months) Its an idea

PepsiPup · August 2008

Tarn I love your background

xD

Jellybeanjoe · August 2008

The Bark Park will only be a sponser only perk. It has been abused in the past with people posting ads for girlfriend/boyfriends and was used to ruin reputations of players for no good reason. Its no use suggesting if become a novice perk, even after months of good behaviour. It won't happen

tarnish · August 2008

I dont get why people don't understand the reason the boards are for sponsors only. Its less likely that someoe who paid for their kennel with rl money or millions of vpc would do something to have it taken away. Oh thank you PepsiPup. I made it with my tablet.

LaylaDog · August 2008

But do you REALLY think that is going to stop them from posting things like that??!!! OMG they could just buy a sponcer account!!! Oh and It would be great if the manager of this site would avertise more about the forums!!!!!

AshleeBrooke · August 2008

I don't see how anyone can't see the Forums. Its right there next to Chat and on the Barkpark. Its right above the check your messages also. Usually when you find a site you mess around with all the little buttons to see where this and that is. ;]

Actually, it already has. Sure, once in a while there's an ad for another website or something questionable, but it's once in a while. I don't think I've seen a truely "inappropriate, dating" ad in a loooong time. Most people aren't willing to lose real money or real effort just to post something not allowed.

The forums are advertised every bit as much as the bark park.. Matter of fact, if you click on Bark Park. Very top of the page says CHAT||BARK IT||FORUM Says the same thing top of the message pages.

I think novice accounts that are linked to sponsors should be able to post on the B.B.

Pride21 · August 2008

ya soccer i dissagree with your post, but here is an idea two different boards, one for sponcer and one for novices

tarnish · August 2008

No. I don't know how many times this has been suggested! Do people not understand the reason it was taken away in the first place? People were spamming too much and taking up a lot of OPs time. The OPs could be doing better things instead of taking care of all the little spam. People are always complaining things get taken care of too slow. With the novices spam on the bark park out of the way more important things could be taken care of.

people should see it from a novices point of view, we cant advertise on the barkpark ourselfes, we cant message people avertising, what can we do? its hard for us to make money, and were just wasting it paying to post, because about 90% of the time people dont take any notice of our posts

Aziu · August 2008

Again, there is always the forums.

Yeah being a novice is harder than being a sponsor and all sponsors were novices at one point. I am sure many of us can see from a novice point of view. Like Aziu pointed out, there are the forums. You can also advertise in chat. There are also quite a few ways to make money. -Neuter your dogs. ($500 for each dog you neuter) -Event Your Dogs -Bid On Dogs In Events -Skill Max Peoples' Dogs. (Skill maxing is discipline, show, sport, and working) -Sell Layouts (Make sure they are your own coding! The site doesn't tolerate stealing) -Sell Banners (Make sure the pictures are royalty free. Try Corbis.com for some stock pictures.) -Sell Art/Graphics (Make sure they were made by you! The site will definitely not put up with art theft) -Sell Your Dogs (Don't be breeding constantly. No one will buy dog with bad stats) I wish novices would stop with complaining. There are ways for them to make money and ways for them to advertise. If they don't like it they can buy a sponsor for vpc or real cash. I don't like the excuse, "but I don't have paypal and my mom/dad won't let me use hers/his." You can send in the cash via mail or you can get your own paypal account. They sell visa giftcards which you can buy at stores and then use online. I have gotten one before and they work great. If money is stolen 'somehow' your card as a set small limit.

Just giving my opinion

That kind of post belongs in the 'Wanted' section, not tacked onto someone else's thread.

Howdy, Stranger!
