How will do that ? btw it's you're power to do it but please make the forum list tidy multiple threads should be removed or Locked and give the thread owner more autonmy that he can remove comment etc etc.
Bots usually create an account (with help from a human) and then throw in 'copy and pastes' infinitely. The 30sec wait limit ensure they don't bloat the forum.
Furthermore, the average time required for our member to type a post is well over 30sec (I said average!).

Regarding your other suggestion (make the forum tidy etc), that is something I'm already considering..

AoA!
'Zishi' stole my suggestion away. Definitely introduce LaTeX. That will enable us to post mathematics solutions without resorting to the use of Paint every time since most mathematical symbols aren't easily available for copy-pasting while LaTeX gives a far tidier and professional look.
More suggestions are:
-> A section for video lectures
-> Spare us a chat box! (XPC risks becoming a site full of juvenile jibber-jabber if that's done. :p Plus, we do have the Chat Sub-forum that serves exactly the same purpose.)
-> The option of 'Upload a File' in Conversations should be extended to all members.
A humble request to PlanetMaster: Kindly have a look at my PM and reply when/if possible. Thank you!
I'm already considering Latex support..
Our current main priority is our Revision section. Once that done, we'll definitely look into video lectures..
We had a chat system under development but was discontinued for security concerns! I'm afraid its not coming back! :(
Conversations are not moderated. I'm sorry but we can not allow attachments in a non-moderated section!

i would like the theme to be violet.
a chat option could be a nice addition
many users have uploaded notes which get lost in the threads so if you put them in revision section then that will be convenient for all.

i think it would be fare and reasonable if authority of banning and editing posts only goes to the owner or those individuals who don't compromise on rules. and those who don't judge posts on the basis of their personal liking and disliking... sometimes mods here don't act impartial (saying from my personal experience of two years), that maybe intentional or unintentional.
bottom-line for me is that giving randomly responsibility to non-professionals can lead to misuse.
We might provide additional theme options in the near future..
The authority of banning is only provided to moderators. Posts can only be edited by author or moderators.
I'm sorry but I can't figure out your suggestion here.. :(

hire some online teachers or the students active at different subjects threads from a long time could do on line teaching. i.e easy access to online tutors. a Skype group could be created by XPC name and different classes or past paper discussions could be carried out...
Thank you for your suggestion! We might consider it in the near future..

haha well i kinda figured it is since so many are in disagreement with modifying it :ROFLMAO:
yay i hope u actually get it done, i know we're all concerned with not wasting our time (well most of us for all i can say xP ), so that will cut down the time wastage greatly ! :D
having separate questions and theory doubt sections will be soo organised
good luck with pimping up the site ! :)
Thank you for your suggestion!

Of course you can't. :)
its pretty simple, keep the authority of banning and editing posts to yourself only. i.e the owner of the forum.
