UQuiz - Server entry quiz.
Sparrowhawk:
Hello everyone. My friend and I run a build server called Builder's League (72.5.250.178:27016) and we were trying to think of ways to filter out people who are just complete morons, won't read our MOTD, just want to stick 10 thrusters with smoke on a chimney, etc etc. We were thinking there might be some way to come up with a ULX plugin script that would ask new players questions, anything from grammar to stuff about gmod and if they don't get a certain amount right, it would kick them/ban them for a few hours, whatever. Obviously I don't expect anyone here to come up with the questions themselves. Also, I think it would be beneficial if it could keep track of who has already "passed" the test by steam ID so our regular users don't have to do it every time they join. Thanks for listening to my idea.

Why not just password your server, then post that password of gaming forums you visit?
It would be nice if these forums had a place to post community members server's info, so you know a good place to good.

Yeah, we've thought of pass wording the server, and obviously that would help, but we DO want the server to be completely open to non-idiot players. We like meeting the new people who chance upon our server and have something cool to show to us. Most of the time it's not a problem if one of us is there, since we can just ban the problem-player, but I just thought this was an interesting idea and wanted to post it.

I made somethign to avoid that,long time ago:
Created a new button on the MOTD, so 2 buttons, "I agree" and "I disagreee". I made it so people who click "I agree", are kicked. And somewhere at the end of the Motd i wrote a line saying 'Click "I disagree" to enter the server'. Believe me, it worked :D

That's a great idea actually, but unfortunately I'm an LUA noob. If there's somewhere on these forums I could go to get code for that, we'll probably change it to that. Or if you could help me out with the code that'd be great. I've found the block int he motd module where it's creating a button, but I don't wanna go modifying it without knowing what I'm doing. Thanks again, Kyzer.
