New members couldn't be checked. They get about 400 every day. And there are a lot of topics. And the moderators have lives, they can't spend all day on here.

bah

Heh, I ask myself, would I feel like approving every new member in exchange for being a mod? Hell no, so I'll bet our current mods wouldn't want to do that since they already are. Do you know how many mods we'd need? 50 would do, but it would get really boring.

ok, but we can wait like a day for confirmation. whenever a MOD is on, he can check who joined, and approve them. it would work, but MODS wouldnt be as active in the forums. thats the only downside.

Right, the mods spend all their time checking people before they can enter the site, which in turn means that all the forums get spammed because no one is there to lock the topics.

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

This is kinda drastic, but I think it would work:
Take a few of the best users like Rip Saw, Eagle 117, Chaplian, Maybe Shai Halud
and give them anti spam options

they would have to be really trusted by the mods though.
like if they saw spam before the mods they could do something to keep people from replying to it till a mod could look at it

i dunno though
something does need to be done though

another idea is if the mods are overtaxed with spam
they could give certain mods shifts

Yoozel and shishka handle morning stuff
Maka and Reiginko handle afternoon stuff

etc, etc.

spam is really pissing me off. check out new mombasa. SPAMS EVERYWHERE!!! we need to find an efficient way to get rid of it. my ideas are crap because its too much work. but seriously, we need a solution.

we might even get Achronos if we come up with something really good

when i was looking at new mombasa there was exactly 600 posts.

Pages ... 4 5 6 [7] 8 9 10 ... of 600

anywho, every page i saw had spam on it. it was insane!!! what enjoyment do they get from spam? all anyone sais in them is

"dont spam."

"Locked in 3...2...1.."

"your a retard."

whats so funny about that?

Rip Saw, Captain, you guys still there?

I f worst comes to worst Bungie could always create a spam filter that looked for certains keywords or something else and then decided either to block it or run it by a mod or someone else who the mods trusted to decide those sorts of things. People would probably find a way to beat it but it might help solve SOME of the spam problem.

anything will help

Read this stuff, if you have the time. Yeah, I'm still here, I was reading Eagle 117's new theory in New Mombasa. I think Rip Saw left.

i think we should have a spam thread. a thread where spammers can spam and special MODS for the forum, because it will be filled with crap that needs to be put down. thats probably the best idea ive thought of.

  • 08.09.2004 9:34 PM PDT

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

yeah

basically we need more mods or stricter spam rules

like 1 screwup and youre gone

that kinda stuff

A spam thread will encourage spam. Besides, they won't post in there anyway. If the rules are to spam, then they won't follow those rules either.

think a two day waiting period for accounts would be nice. It would allow the user to be active in posts all ready on the boards, but not post topics for the first two days. That way for us mods, we would be able to catch them early if they are trouble makers.


YES!!! i hadnt even read that yet, and yet i thought up the same thing!!

wonder if the mods are gonna reply?

especially if there's that other spam topic Captain found

I like that idea, its as if your creating deputy mods or something or conditional mods. Get say 2 dozen people and give them the power to (as you said) lock or suspend a spam thread or post and then alert a mod to it and have them make a final decision. I thik that's a good idea. BTW I heard that there were going to be some new mods soon, whether or not that's true I don't know. I hope it is though because you guys are right the spam situation has gotten out of hand.

Nope, no new mods, just new tools to fight the spammers.

Nah, that's a little harsh. I say give em one warning and then ban them, because some people (myself included) have made mistakes when they first joined.

the problem is i can count on one hand the number of people i'd trust with that power <no offense to anyone> and that's just not enough to handle the level of spam were getting
