Guest Crymson Report post Posted June 22, 2007 Now that we're in the off-season, I'm going to institute a new method of spam prevention that will affect everyone that currently has an active membership here. Fret not, however, as it's nothing that will permanently affect your account. All current members and new sign-ups will be placed in a new Member Group called "Spam Check". This group will NOT have the ability to start any new threads until they reply in a thread once. Since the spambots that have plagued this forum for the bulk of the past year or so only start new threads, they will be restricted from that functionality. For all current and new, legit members, all you have to do is reply in any thread once, and you will be able to start new topics if you would like to do so. Every week the "Spam Check" group will get purged, so if you do sign up, make sure to reply in a topic quickly (heck, even use this one) or your account may get deleted by routine housecleaning. Of course, there may be more "advanced" spambots to get around this restriction, but this safeguard should eliminate the vast majority from clogging up these forums. Done. Roger that.

Matt 1,048 Report post Posted June 22, 2007 Just a reminder, too: You don't necessarily have to reply to THIS thread, just any thread on the site. One reply to an existing thread bumps your account. Also, don't worry about your account being deleted. I'm manually going through accounts when I get a chance and the spambot ones that exist are easy to spot. It just takes a loooooong time to go through 4500+ member accounts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
