a waitng period (spam elimination)

Migrated topic.
A 10 day waiting period may be a little long for some of the users but we may well go down that road if thers no other way to stop the spam. The Traveler and I will continue to improve and install anti spam mods so hopefully we won't have to take the waiting period method.
 
could you make it so that new members could post, but put a 10 day waiting period on starting new threads? that might be a way to go.

Ah, i didnt know the spammers would do that, good call. And of course i knew that, why else would i pick an avatar making fun of an ex pope? =) ay least JP2 had a somewhat likeable personality, i think ratzinger really might be satan =)
 
[quote:a91a89e1f3="psilocybin"]we should upgrade if it cost something I'll flip for it.Lets get the newest. 😉[/quote:a91a89e1f3] Well, theres already another forum ready to put into action. On this moment I'm creating the last Icons. After that we can testrun it.
 
Looks good Traveler.But I was the only person on-line at the moment I checked it and it saw me as a guest,not a member.Once it's up and running will all our old posts and membership accounts be transferred over or will we have to reregister?
 
anther idea towards spam prevention, maybe ask a question that can easily be looked up during registration. example Q:what year was DMT first synthesized in? A:1931 A bot would have trouble with that one I think 😉
 
admin approval ? invite only ? an odd amount of time waiting period, ie; 1 hour 42 mins and 36 seconds ? or maybe that damned blurry random numbers and letters security thing ?
 
Well, first thing is to move away from phpBB :D The new forum is at: Welcome to the DMT-Nexus You can check it out already, except for the new users last month or so everybodys username/pw has been converted to this new forum now. Checking out the messages also, probably possible only the transfer will take a day or so. Good thing about this new forum is the fact it's made in my main language and I can change it easely on our demands. :p
 
[quote:2f9bbfa9f8="Salvia_Antics"]Seems like link is dead. Actually its misspelled your period is a /.[/quote:2f9bbfa9f8] You were quite right to say so my friend. It's corrected now.
