Thread: End To Spam: A Question

  1. End To Spam: A Question

    Is it possible to make it so that anyone that registers for the forum cannot create a thread for 30 days?

    This would not eliminate all the spamming on the boards, but, shit, if you are going to let it fly at least make them work for it.

    Is it an issue of ability? Cannot be done on this board
    Laziness?
    Indifference?

    The only downside is that spamming may take place in established threads, but that seems unlikely and better than the alternative.

  2. laziness

    I could set it up so that new members have to wait for X days before being automatically promoted to a usergroup that has thread posting capabilities, but that means I'd have to readjust the current "registered users" usergroup and promote everybody in the database already. I still think a nominal registration fee is the best way to combat spam since the user who joins to spam ends up essentially paying us advertising fees.

  3. Is there any way to have an invite only message board?

  4. there's plenty of ways, infact I'm on one... but I'm not going to throw together an invite system just cause spam threads show up once or twice a day

  5. Fair enough. You run the show.

  6. Come to the dark side, you know you want to.
