Subject: Do you think the anti-spam filter is necessary in private group forums

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I found really annoying when I get the anti-spam filter anytime, but especially when I'm on my group's forums. So, do you think it's really necessary to have it?

Also, sorry if this is the wrong forum. First time posting a topic in here.

I think it should be able to be toggled on or off by the administrator of the group.

Yeah, that'd make sense. It'd make life a helluva lot easier...

Loose talk is noose talk.

On the main forums? Yeah, it sort of is. Else people would just post topics like there was no tomorrow.

As for private groups, I agree we should have more power in them. Power to flip the anti-spam filter on/off, for instance.

Yeah, even though it's annoying in the main, they need them there. But, I think we should definitely have an option when it comes to private groups.

Yes. You're saying you never get the spam filter? I'm a fast typer, too.

Hypothetically what if I were to make a group, turn off the spam filter, and then get a ton of auto-spammers constantly making messages in that group? Would that not have a possible adverse effect with the rest of Bnet if I got enough people doing it?

Perhaps thats why they don't have that option to turn off the Spam Filter?

I doubt it considering the amount of people who already post at once as it is. I guess it's possible, though.

I hit it every now and then.

It's -blam!- annoying.

To be honest TGP, I've done that before in one of my private groups : /

That's the number of bans in this thread. Next time you want to derail something, go stand in front of a train.

Or at least allow specific user ranks in private groups to have it toggled off, since if anyone joins, well...

So yeah, only trusted users in private groups, like other admins, mods and any trusted, responsible members should be allowed so, definitely not everyone either on or off.

The thread flood limit can be toggled, but the spam filter really isn't that annoying. If you hit, just look at another tab or something to pass a small amount of time in between that window.

You'd be surprised. Most of the time I end up waiting a few seconds to post again. But it's there to stop spammers.

Certain members should be able to post more.

That's what I try to do, but I usually get the filter without even noticing that I'm posting so quickly.

I wouldn't mind if the spam filter was increased to a minute, everywhere.

I can guarantee anything you finish typing up within 30 seconds after your last post is NOT going to have any particular thought in it, especially considering that the 30 seconds includes finding and reading the OP and comments first.
