Why not a new `Approved Plugins` section?

Once I read:

Then I thought, why not a new `Approved Plugins` section?

Would it have much plugins? Initially not, but would be interesting for the current server operator use as reference. Nevertheless, it would need to be about new rules, otherwise we would just end up at the same place 10 years from now. For beginning it would receive all recent approved plugins, as from 1 or 2 years 5 or 6 years from now and kick them out back to the `Approved Plugins` sections, as/when they seen out of date with the state of the art.

We may call it `State of the Art Approved Plugins`, plugins designed to something real updated within the latest tools available for the Amx Mod X performance and environment design. For this management and to help the current `AMXX Approvers` workload, would be interesting to create a new Forum Moderador Class as the `AMXX Approvers`. As reported by the users, the `AMXX Unapprovers` which are trusted users to verify whether some plugin is currently broken or not, and then move it back to the `Approved Section`. Basically an Unapprover has not enough knowledge to be an Approver, but before someone being a Approver, it could became a Unapprover before becoming an Approver and as long as it gains knowledge he may became a Approver. The Unapprover should just be trustworthy and capable to verify whether the user reports about a troubling plugin are valid and whether they are critical or esthetic/minor for the plugin functionality. Even if the new section does not to be created, the `AMXX Unapprover` could be created, to unapprove plugins from the `Approved Plugins` section, as they are reported by the community as broken, and confirmed by an `AMXX Unapprover` or `AMXX Approver`.

Do you have some idea or thoughts about this?
Share them within us here, or state whether and how much you would like this new section or not.

Are you a server operator?
Would you like this?
Show us yours thoughts, therefore this could help this new feature to be implemented.

I sure hope you are joking. This is a ridiculous suggestion.

Agree with fysiks( even if he disagre things just for sake of disagring )in this case he is right.

And please be more seriously don't post stupid pictures like that.

I'm not totally agree with your suggestion...

But, I'm agree that in "Approved plugins" section there are many plugins making crash the server or with bugs. Furthermore, are plugins approved a long time ago. I think that plugins may not be approved now...

I remember reported a plugin to move to Unapproved because it's bugged, but there was no response

[Depresie]

I agree with addons, we need to clean the approved section, but the topic title seems a little bit exagerated

Renaming the current approved section into Old Approved Plugins or something and creating a new one with plugins released not so long ago would be great, since in the actual Approved Section there are many plugins that should not be there considering how they are coded and how hard a plugin now days will get approved

If we would review all the plugins in the actual Approved Section, 90% of them would get unnaproved

We also still need more moderators, we should make a topic to recommend people for that since no one dares to ask for it

@craxor, he can post what ever he wants, let him have his fun, this forum is getting boring, we need more fun around here

FUN? How old are you man, you're here for fun?

If you are bored make a girlfriend, here is not a place to stay the whole day and then do stupid topics just because you are bored.

Search for 10 years old approved and bad (compared to today's standards) plugins and improve them yourself then re-post them.
Actually that would be a fun project. :^)

Improving such plugins would mean rewriting them completely.. lolz

Useless prethinks, idiot looping, retarded stocks... overuse of fakemeta natives and stocks, which many are incredibly slow compared to the engine ones...
