All Guests to the Forum please read.

Forum Saradas like any other forum is a community of people with similar interests.  And just like any other community Forum Saradas needs everyone to do their fair share or the community will suffer.  That is the current problem, there are far far too many guests(AKA Non-Members) lurking around Forum Saradas everyday. These people slow the site down, steal bandwidth from members, and just generally make it harder for members to use the site.

 

In simple terms this cannot go on forever.  It costs money to pay for a web connection.  It takes money to cover the bandwidth needed for thousands of guests to use the site every day.  And it takes time and money to keep servers going to serve thousands of guests.

It is also not fair to Members who support the site, share images and videos, etc. for guests to lurk around not supporting the site, not sharing with members, etc.

I believe each guest should make a choice.

 

Do you want to be part of the community of Forum Saradas or not?

If you decide not to become a member or Forum Saradas then you should not lurk around as a guest.  You should find a site you do want to be a part of and go there.

If you decide you want to be part of the community of Forum Saradas, then you should join the forum, support the site and share as the other members of the forum do.

 

If you decide to become a member of Forum Saradas you should then decide how you can best support the community.

Maybe you can afford to help pay for web access, bandwidth, and sever maintenance. (You can make an anonymous donation if you like.)  If you don't have money you can provide things the other members of the forum want to see.  Things like on topic photos sets and videos go over well.  There are members that create art.  There are members who keep everyone updated on contests and post photos and score cards from the contests.  There are members that write and post stories, the most popular are illustrated stories with images.

There are lots of ways to be part of the community of Forum Saradas.  Please be part of the community or find another site you are interested enough in to become a member.  Lurking around as a guest isn't fair to members of Forum Saradas.

To all Members.

First off let me welcome our new members.

Forum Saradas like any other forum is a community of people with similar interests.  And just like any other community, Forum Saradas needs everyone to do their fair share or the community will suffer.  Doing your fair share on a forum is generally providing what others of the forum want to see.  Most  Members of Forum Saradas want to see photo sets and videos of the women.  But we have others who do artwork, write stories, keep the forum updated on contests. contest images, contest video clips, etc.

One of the problems you always find in the world is people who take advantage of any system.  We also have people who put no effort at all into learning how things work.  And we have those who think the world revolves around them.  Sadly many of them have made it onto the internet.

I had hoped to come up with a way to specifically spell out how people earn their place and ratings on the forum.

I have been spending quite a bit of time lattely looking around the web, all types of Forums and trying to find a way to do set levels so everything can be spelled out so all members of the forum are on the same page.  What I have found out is other than having a zillion rules and draconian moderation,  there is simply no way to do things in a simple way. 

SO....  For the moment I have not found a better way to recommend to do things than what is on the table now.

Right now member levels are set by the Admin and Moderators based on several factors.  These include what other forum members think of your posts(This is threw the Karma system, and other users comments.), how active you are in being a part of the forum(This is the little bar under your nic labeled activity.) , and based on the Admin and Moderators inspection of your posts.  Now this may seem arbitrary and up to a bit it is, as it requires Admin and Moderator intervention to raise your member levels.  Because it is based on factors that can not be controlled like the karma system.  Which simply put is not perfect as users seem to fail to use it wisely.  The activity meter is not perfect either as some people have found ways to keep activity up while not really being a part of things.  That is why it requires Admin and Moderator interaction and inspection to set user levels.

There are also some problems that are being worked on such as people who just copy old links from others older posts to new posts, these people will find they are "persona non grata" on the forum.

Others just don't understand some concepts.

In an effort to get everyone on the same page The forum has updated the rules and added some info on posting on the forum.

All users please read the following.

Forum Rules and Banned file hosts.

I will strive to add more info on various subjects and update the current ones even more over time.

The Admin and Moderators of Forum Saradas hope every member helps to continue make the Community of Forum Saradas one of the best places on the web for sharing their love the Female body builders and Fitness women.
