Forum Cleaning
The PM tables were dropped. This affects all users. It sucks but it was the most fair, non personal and least violating solution. Some threads that negativly affect other users will be cleaned. So a fresh start for all
Spam and Advertising
All IP bans lifted. Apparently, blocking user IP's affected others who were not the original poster or involved. A freak coincidence, but we will take other measures against spammers instead. For banning a user, IP is fine. But for the mass amounts of spam posters, its too many to have on the list.
Email verification turned on. Now users will have to verify their account via email when registering. This too will reduce the amount of spam posters, and make spam easier for us to control.
Spam posts are to be deleted, instead of edited out or saved.
Bot links and hacks are to be saved, and forwarded to Joymax personal.
Please refrain from flooding the staff team when a spam post is found. If the post wasnt noticed, please contact the moderator of that forum.
Moderators and Staff
The staff team will always work to handle situations the best way possible, to make using the forum more enjoyable for all users.
Rule amendments
Silkroadforums.com strictly prohibits cracks, keygens, bypassing trial versions of softwares and other methods of illegal activies. These posts will be edited or removed without discussion.
Silkroadforums.com prohibits copyright violations of artwork and other materials in the artists corner. This includes using an image without crediting the author, or altering works without permission of the original owner.
Site Changes
The board will be updated soon to the latest version. This may cause some display problems for users. Sometime this week, mass screenshot pruning will occur as well, to ease storage and bandwith use.
