A quote from the register-page: "Remember: Multiple accounts = permanent ban. Signing up just to spam? That is not tolerated. We might even ban your account just for the sake of it - and it's strictly forbidden to create another account, so think twice before spamming around..." Why is this so hard to understand? I've seen a numerous of people signing up and their first post is still pure spam, like "visit mysite.com for my new album" or similiar.... |
||||||||
|
|

Yeah, I can see you've put that message on the "register page" as well. I actually thought it would have solved things like that, instead nothing. I could understand when it was only inside the FAQ. Oh well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Make the FAQ more prominent, or make it .. make it so you have to view the FAQ before posting, if you have less than 10 points, something like that. I still say have a Music Quiz as part of the registration process. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree. It should be short audio clips of well known electronic tracks and you have to get something like 50% of them correct. |
||||||||

What a nice idea indeed....! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
a $10 door fee for new members should do the trick. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

fill the empty space right from the +260 pixels space with: NO SPAMMING YOU FCUKING TROLL in caps, and the c before the u |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
haha, deffos, music quiz is a great idea. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And we all need to take it!!! those who get too low an average gets banned, lol. |
||||||||

You should see the registration on the Simon Wai's Sonic 2 Beta site, that's got some seriously tough questions on it before they allow you to register (plus if you get it wrong twice then your IP gets locked out....) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yup or sticky this and get rid of some of those others. But they should read it before posting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I like dog_belch's idea of making new members read the FAQ before the first 10 posts, or something to that effect. I wonder if the spammers will skill just scroll to the bottom and type the message without reading though... :( Hard to think with the mind of a spammer. Best left to the professionals. |

obviously we'll have to change a few things in xltv2. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe new registrations should be approved by a moderator instead of an automated process? just a thought. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and they would explain to us what their first post is gonna be like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hah! xltv2 needs to change it's members, a good clean. Get Pianka in here! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That'd be too stressful for a moderator. Do you check under last 5 registered sometimes? Every time I look at that, I can find new folks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what about one of those little popup error box things. Like right after the account is enabled it alerts them to read the FAQ or presents this rule from the FAQ which is often times the most frequently abused. That way its right in their face and gets their attention. I think thats more effective than usual "read the rules" etc as this rule is unique to message boards. People dont read FAQs because its usually common sense. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, you could make a pop up that occurs when people sign up for a new account that people have to aggree to, stating in one or two lines, that if they are here to spam they should go somewhere else. Then follow that with a link to watmm.com as the somewhere else. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hah... you wrote that the same time I did. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have you guys seen the registration-page? they don't even have to check out the FAQ-page as the obvious rules are stated right on their forehead before they sign up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
great minds! This reminds me of that theory that when you have a thought... somewhere in the world someone is having the same idea. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its been quite soemtime since i have seen that page. I guess there is really no excuse then.... its just general defiance. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, A friend of mine who is an ameture director says that in the film industry its taught that if you have an idea for a script, try to finish it as quickly as possible, because three or four other people are probly writing the same script. |

pianka = foam in polish. i wonder what you mean ?? |

"huh, a message board i don't really care about is gonna ban me if i try to pimp my ride. meh" :registers: |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|

also your non-caring messages are deleted, so why bother? waste of time..... |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i do! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, now that I think about it, that right there isn't impossible.. an absolutely positioned div that'll only go away once you click the "ok" button/link at the bottom and then you should have large red letters explaining the futility of spamming here, not simply state that it isn't allowed... you should also have a picture of something nasty and write "this is you.. fag" on it. |
||||||||
|

I`m sick of spammers too Phobs... when will they ever learn ??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i propose using ebola on the spammers. did anyone do that joke in here yet? i'll post it anyway, without checking first... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
oh, my... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
define 'spam' better. most people don't actually understand that yes, promoting your own warez can actually be considered spam, but instead just associate it with spam bots and the like advertising the latest penile drug. |

i dont think we need any new members anyway. i mean, we have monoid, ecnadniarb, tridenti, me, qrter, uh, that panda guy, that guy with his butt on everyone's myspace, the red haired porn guy, a couple sluts and their vibrators, I think that about covers all the bases. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Panda! ECW! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
plus a lando! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and a terrorist! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The problem being that the sluts with vibrators eventually leave, or get bored of pretending to be women. We need to keep the slut pool fresh otherwise they dry up. |
