Bungie should add more security privilages. "Post to forums" and "Create new topic" should be different privilages. So if you don't want your members making new threads, maybe with pointless things, they can only post and reply to existing ones.

I'm saying this because my group recently got spammed by 4 different people. They spent over an hour spamming my group and made 5 pages worth of it including very offensive content.

But if they could only reply to posts and not double post they wouldn't of spammed my group as much, and it'll be easier to get rid of it.

Agree?

If you recall, there is also the ability to delete threads. If there is a thread that you do not like, you can simply delete it.

Okay, so I'll simply delete my 5 pages of spam, is that it? I did that and it took ages. I wouldn't of needed to do that if they were separate privilages. This will probably also increase activity, because less members will make random topics.

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

Yeah, removing half the point of the forums is a much better alternative.

I was wondering this myself not to long ago. New people to geoups and B.net in generel don't know how things work and aren't willing to read the group rules. They make a new thread, end up getting flammed for not reading the rules and leave the group mad because of this. If you could limit this it would be healpful and prevent some spam.

Why would someone spam you? Unless you did something bad to them...

Why not simply extend the forced lurking period?

If new members don't understand the rules at one point, chances are they won't understand them later. If you don't expect them to read the rules the moment they join, then why would you expect them to read the rules of their own accord later on?

Trust me, the spammers could have caused a lot more damage than that (as in their mess would have been harder to clean up). You should actually consider yourself lucky.

Underground Pleasure - aren't you a bit curious?

I wonder why you were spammed.......[/sarcasm]

You know what you did and you deserved it.

Would you have different privilages based on time spent here, number of posts, rating system by member, etc.?

And, Spartakus! Both, bolth, each one, whatever. We have to solve the problems while allowing discussion. The site screeches to a halt if we only have one.
