suggestion agains spam
Arseen:
Seems there is quite many spams today.
Is it possible to have quarantine time for new members like no posting until you have been member at least few days or max 1 post per day for the first week.
Or that the newbie has to prove that he/she is a person before posting is allowed.
Doom:
I see no such option in the admin settings. We could try guest admins, but I wouldn't do anything without Snowcone's approval.
shenske:
Spam is REALLY annoying! In less than the last 24hrs I've deleted 15+ posts.
I think 1 post per day within the first week of becoming a member wouldnt be too bad. We would be able to catch them within that first week so there wouldn't be a need for limiting beyond then.
AppleQueso:
Last thing we need to do is restrict members in any way I think. I know I would be pissed if I signed up on the forum just to find out I couldn't post for a whole day.
Adbots happen, not much you can do about it except try to place more anti-bot measures in when registering. Better Captchas or some anti-bot questions in the registration form would help a bit with that.
Doom:
The only easy thing to do is more forum admins. Any volunteers if Snowcone is okay with it?
