Hamish, I must say I really like those questions.

I guess the questions will easily catch out people with no knowledge of shell, or people who just want eggdrop.

i agree that not all questions should be about The Phoenix Network, but they also shouldnt be simple like the first post, i know it was an example but i have seen sites that actually have that

i think that the question hamish pointed out

1)Yes, eggdrop is all I want.
2)No, I want all the other services too.

should actually be used, and then depending on what the persons answer is different things should happen,
if they say yes to eggdrop is all they want you should put some majorrrr thought into giving that person a shell.
but also they can lie and say they want the other services to, in this case users that have recently been given a shell should get reviewed every month or so to see if they have been actively been participating in forums and irc chat and so on.
if not then i think they deserve the boot.

Yes, or if the user chooses the eggdrop option to that question, it could be that the user is given a more limited package in terms of bandwidth and space, since if they are only using eggdrop they don't actually need the other features. Also questions about coding and programming might be quite good so people who just want eggdrop can be easily seen and removed.

yea hamish that is an ok idea, but then you come across people that are new to all this and then they will be in a prediciment wont they, just imagine if you have been interested in linux and so forth and just found this site and you have thought to yourself "wow free shell i can learn alot here and not pay for my mistakes and so on" only to get to the sign up questions and get bommed with what seems to them as german or something, do you get what i mean?

its like getting a computer tech throwing him a tool box and telling him to tune a nascar

You actually have a good point there Brendon, we could always include a question at the start.

Do you have any past experience/knowledge of Shell?
1)No
2)Yes, a little
3)Yes, a lot

Then if they answer "yes" and then answer the technical questions wrongly then you will know that they are noobish.

I don't see why technical noobs should be given a shell?
If they know nothing about linux why do they want a shell in the first place?
The internet is filled with information about linux and it's not difficult to get a base for learning more with the shell once you know what it is and what you actually do with one - a far better way than going off and screwing around with someone else's shell with no knowledge of anything.
Also, you could dl an os if you know not to go around playing not knowing what the outcome will be.

Besides, all the questions could be googled.

And lastly, the admins decide who they give a shell to, and you can't do anything about it, even if you think they're unfair.

Why driver noobs should be given a car?

Everybody was a newbie once. Don't forget that!

Driver noobs were also given sufficient training before that car.

Anyway, they are still noobs and maby will become pros with the time and the practice ...

Also what do you mean with noobs. There is allywas someone who know more than you!
