Title: external SPAM & ADD threads increasing ? Post by: Gimbly on April 27, 2007, 06:38:31 am Did anything change lately as we got more and more threads like
<..The Largest Collection of Sexy Stocking Clad Women > and things ... What about to change the prerequisites even for the ooc board to registered users only ? Title: Re: external SPAM & ADD threads increasing ? Post by: qom_riyadh on April 27, 2007, 08:45:13 am SMF provides an option that each new account registration request has to be approved by site admin.
Probably the only way to stop this, but we'll need to hire a person to check if the person requesting registration is actually a person and not some stinky bot. Title: Re: external SPAM & ADD threads increasing ? Post by: Moraine DiGoraz on April 27, 2007, 09:42:15 am :S
This board sucks, they actually went and deleted quality porn! Title: Re: external SPAM & ADD threads increasing ? Post by: Jack Sinist (•̪●) on April 27, 2007, 09:43:23 am Well I have already suggested having a admin approval only but Octi doesn't want that as it would perhaps have people not sign up or something.

It's possible to do sth like that: - user registers his account and activates it. (like usually) - upon registration he is added to some group, say "New member" - without any permissions to post anything - someone of admins/command checks if he's not a bot and grants him required permissions. This way anyone can register their accounts freely, and won't spam our boards before admins will ban him. Hmm? Title: Re: external SPAM & ADD threads increasing ?

So I say things are just great the way they are! (unless certain moderators - like John - go and delete that porn) Title: Re: external SPAM & ADD threads increasing ?
