suggestion agains spam
AppleQueso:
I wouldn't mind doing it, I've admined some small places before.
tiktektak:
I'm all for implementing some more security features when signing up.
That would almost certainly keep some bots away....
Some additional people who help sweep the forum wouldn't hurt either.
We could put them in the Global moderator group and give them delete/edit/ban rights!
I strongly suggest though to only let long time regular reliable members do this.
Apple would be ok I guess.... ;D
juan0tron:
I sign on here about every day, so I wouldn't mind deleting a bit of spam every time it came up. Sometimes I wish I could delete it myself anyway ;)
I agree with AppleQueso though, limiting post counts would be good in theory but definitely frustrating. I often see new members being pretty chatty anyhow. Maybe limit it to one thread per day? Spammers generally don't post in established threads unless that's something even I haven't seen. I know some spambots can PM you though, I've seen it happen on Noobtoob a few times.
UncleBob:
I don't like the idea of limiting posts/etc. Icky.
I once said something to Snowcone over IM about volunteering to be a "SPAM Clean-up only mod" - i.e.: I'd only axe SPAM posts and anything else I'd leave to the real guys. Never heard anything from him about it. :(
For the record, I am already a moderator at the NintendoWorldReport.com forums. :)
Doom:
We're talking about it behind closed doors.
Everyone is supportive, I just need to contact Snowcone.
