Make an intelligence barrier for game entry

Post by e_i_pi »

Concise description:
  • Set the minimum IQ someone has to be to join your games
Specifics:
  • Users have to undergo an IQ test when joining the site, perhaps the Conquer Club Trivia page could be utilised. Players could retake the test when they believe the are less stupid
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • Promotes the Conquer Club Trivia site
  • Circumvents the veto on "rank barrier on games" suggestion
  • Public Assassin games would be worth playing
  • My teammates would have the skills required to read game chat
  • Setting a conservative IQ barrier of 60 would only reduce the userbase by 40-50%
  • Less games means less bandwidth, which would reduce the recently experienced site lag
  • People who complain about dice wouldn't really get the opportunity to roll dice, so dice complaint threads would disappear
  • Sends out a clear message that Conquer Club is not a place to practice bigotry, racism, sexism, intolerance, OR idiocy, the important "fifth element" which is often omitted from Community Guidelines.

Excellent!

Although you conservative barrier of 60 would reduce the demographic much more than is healthy for the site, I believe it is a step in the right direction. Perhaps 50 would be a kinder limit? :-s

No no no, the Guidelines say that anyone who's proven to have an IQ of over 60 must be banned. This will never stand.

Let's make a max as well then, I don't want all these "smart people" coming in and trying to tell us what is what in my games. Things like Santa Claus ain't real and the Easter bunny actually lives in Toronto... That stuff is bogus.

I concur, but you missed one.

Posting a suggestion due to be rejected is a sign of low intelligence. ;) :lol:

(sorry, couldn't resist... though I know full well you meant this in full and complete utter seriousness .. lol) I )

I refuse to get out my microfiche to read your postscript. I can only assume it is a slur against my good name. For this, sir, I challenge you to a duel!

As for this suggestion, I like it. :D I would ask that the bar be set a little higher, how about a minimum IQ score of 85?

You like this suggestion even though it would prevent you from joining your own games, interesting.

Foolish boy, I would not suggest a value that would prevent me from playing any more than you would suggest a name filter to block user names containing the word demon or fork.
