I think they're downright desirable, even if the requirement is just a single in-game post in any other game. Large games get their own signup threads and brand new players are quite likely to try joining in here.mith wrote:1. Do you feel experience requirements are acceptable in Large (Theme/Normal) games?
Yes, I really think so. I can easily imagine mini theme games where you wouldn't want to have totally green players.2. If so, do you think they would be appropriate for other types of games, such as Mini Theme games?
3. absolutely.3. Should Mods be allowed to ban specific players from their games?
4. If so, what reasons are acceptable for doing so?
4. I don't even care why a mod wants to ban someone, unless we start having major disputes here. I am willing to trust the mod to use good judgment for the sake of his own game. It's hardly so important to guarantee everybody the right to sign up for any game they want, or second chances when they have a bad history.
MrBuddyLee's idea is interesting, but I think it would be simpler to say that flakers can't sign up for new games for some amount of real time (i.e. merely punitive), than to ask them to pay back a debt that they might do very half-heartedly. As a mod I probably wouldn't even want such players as replacements.
