WWII history test

[Bino]

After reading some of the posts here in "Wishlist" lately, I would like to make a modest proposal...

Require users of the BBS to successfully pass a rudimentary test of their knowledge of WWII before permitting them to post.  You know, have users demonstrate at least a passing familiarity with the era.  If that's too tough, perhaps allow them to choose from various sub-topics, such as Aviation, Armored Vehicles, etc.

but even if they didnt know the stuff they could always make a new tab or window and search for the awnsers.(mabye they would learn something)

I'm sorry, but just because people haven't heard of the C.200, P.108, Cant Z.1007, Br.20, Sm.79 doesn't mean that  there should be a history test. What a load...

[Matador]

I think that its a good idea people need to research before they post, and in general should know some historical stuff , you have to search for stuff in general you are not going to learn everything from school and stuff like that, my class spent like 3 days on WW2 and i know alot of stuff about the war, watch the history or military channel for some info on this stuff it does help.

No, the reason there should be a test is to keep people from posting utter BS.

AND punctuation. (or lack thereof)

Hello Bino,
With all due respect I do not think this is a good idea.  To lockup the boards to newcomers because a few are either ignorant of facts or wasteful of this resource (not to mention senior members that do it also) is detrimental to the Aces High community.  This BBS is a great place to gather knowledge, and should always remain an open forum.

Okay, how about some WWII trivia...

What national leader suggested that his government offer Japan a ten year non-aggression pact and eliminate most military and direct commercial ties with the USA?

Neville Chamberlain? Although he wasn't Prime Minister at the time.
