I thought that would have been time consuming and a pain in the arse for mods, seeing the number of new posts in a day sometimes. There has been a rash of dating sites of late. All new members. If no new members, no rashes (from dating sites ..). The forum may drop off the joining lists as a 'spammable' site?' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Some forums have a thing where you have to have made a specified number of comments before you can start a new thread. A small restriction like that might be helpful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure when I started (when the Forum was in Sepia and 96pt Scribe Text) new members had to comment on a few posts before they could scribe a new verse on a tablet.

wrighty Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Plenty of facebook groups don’t allow you to post new stuff until you’re established in some way. If we simply had that first time thread starts had to be moderated it wouldn’t be much more work for the moderators than having to delete the spam once it’s reported. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
