Newb need some help

Postby yoyoman127 » 28 Apr 2005 20:45

:( Need help I am a total newb at lock picking but I want to learn how. So can you suggest any good places to buy locks and lock picking sets or anything to use for picks and tension wrenchs.

Here's where all your questions will be solved.
Lock picking is an art, not a means of entry.

On sign up this site should have an optional tutorial, and a mandatory test on the tutorial just so that you can't become a user until you have proved you know where to get picks, and what a sheer line is. If all our newbs were some how required to read the MIT guide upon registering this site would be better.

Only as a bit of advice,

Fill out your location on your profile as locks and tools are most often country specific and to know where you are would help anyone answering you.

Perhaps an automatically generated message to the new members inbox telling them to READ THE FAQ SECTION before posting questions that have been answered over and over and over....

The message could include common FAQs such as:

"I'm new and want to buy a lockpick set, where do I go?"
"How do I make my own lockpicks?"
"What is a lockpick? :lol: "

And so on and so forth.....

Some things may be pick proof, but everything can be bypassed....

How hard would it be to inhibit posting unless a new member has visited the FAQ's section?

Since the server logs who has been in which section, and when, is there some function of phpBB which could block a new member from making a post, unless the FAQ's & General Info section has been viewed?

Just a thought...

Yes you can stop them individualy from posting in any particular section/s but unfortunatley it has to be done for each person and for each section, i dont know how many new members we get each week but it may prove too much work.

Perhaps somthing like the advanced section can be implied, members only get to see the site after reading and answering a few questions on 1 thread, this could be moderated by the other members if need be,
This could be set up as a group on the phbb system and could be done a bit easier,

Only an idea though.
