In my opinoin it's a great Idea. I'm getting pretty frusterated with these spam bots also.

It would also help if people didn't reply to them >.<

Most of the time you can tell, but recently some of those posts actually appear fairly convincing, at first glance. It was only when I put my cursor over the link that I knew it was one of those porn sites.

I like the idea, though.

Yepp would help the mods have an easier time, but is it that easy to make it like that?

+ then you cant make a "Look at me im new" topic

+ True, was thinking about that too :/ A time delay before you could post a new thread perhaps? Like if you just made a new account you have to wait 2~3 days before starting a new thread.

Maybe.

I still like the idea that a "new user" can't make a new thread, and once they become a "regular user" they will be able to(I can't remember how many posts you have to make to become a regular user.)

On a side note, I never made one of those "Hi I'm new." topics when I first came here.

i actually like those topics :twisted:

j/k it would be nice to set a 10 post count thing i guess ...

ZiNC · Post by **ZiNC** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 6:49 pm

No it wont help spam bots will spam 10 messages in other threads and open a new thread after they have enough posts...your idea will cause more spam...

lol that means 10 more spam messages^^

Post by **Ryoko** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 7:26 pm

Well let think about it

most people 1st post is a question. Whether their SRO doesnt run or they need help with their char.

So they register, and post.

Now, if they had to make 20 posts before hand, you would see people "upping their post count everywhere".

If we didnt have enough +1 or /agree posts already, or "hi" (lol.....)]

Lastly... why not post in site discussion, where I check for these topics?

Hmm

AnemuS · Post by **AnemuS** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 8:23 pm

they could always spam in already exist topics, that would be worse believe me...
ur reading a post and then next topic BAM u see some naughty pics :twisted:

PB_and_J · Post by **PB_and_J** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 8:45 pm

The bots would post 20 times in a few seconds, then post their porn ad, more work for mods.

Those people mostly spam when their is a inspection tho'

But imo you are right.. That would not help, Just ignore the topics + read a other topic till a mod deletes it or it get posted away...

Does the forum already have email validation?

Yes

Unfo, it also has COPPA, which fils the admin inbox, which I dont read or have hooked up, so if they put 13 or under, they cant register anyway

or something like that.

LOL.

That's what I was thinking, lol.

It's a good idea in theory, but it wouldn't work.

No reply · Post by **No reply** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 9:16 pm

Instead of not being able to make a new topic, you should be unable to
add links to your post until you have a certain number of posts. I'm sure the spam bots will just write to address without a URL code, but at least it won't be "click able". It could off course turn out to cause more spam, as mentioned.

There was a rule like this on another forum I visit, all it did was make spam bots post the pic in other people's thread. I would rather not click on a new topic then browse a random thread and find flashing porn pictures.

So how about a Community Q/A thread? if there isnt already one, people post their q in a sticky and other members try their best to answer it instead of every member with their own question topic..

If it's anything like another forum I go to, those stickies will most likely just be ignored anyway. =/
