Title: spammers
Post by: lilshawn on June 24, 2011, 02:48:20 pm
I'm thinking... we don't have a huge problem with spammers on the forum, but when we do, they go hard!!

maybe we can implement new accounts having to enter a captcha or something in order to post to the forum for their first 50 posts or implement a timeout period between posts , where if violated say 3 times in the space of an hour it locks the account from posting for an hour (or more).

 :dunno

so far so good though  :cheers:

That would help the next time someone pisses off Driver-man enough again too.

10 posts maybe, but I hate captchas and if I had to do one for 50 posts I wouldn't stick around long enough to hit 50 posts. Lets put it on chad and xouches account, and see if it works.

a timeout period between posts

All for this for new accounts. There is nothing so important for a new user that he/she NEEDS to post more than once an hour.

Guess there's nothing so important that I NEED to post more than once an hour either... :-\ Man, I need to get off the ---smurfing--- internet.
