We May Have To Largen Spam Enforcement.

Unread post by UnrealCh13f »

In the past couple of weeks, I have seen new users register ONLY to post cheap cell phone ads on our site. If this goes any further, we may have to close registrations to the forum until better anti-bot measures has been deployed.

I say we close them anyways. There is nothing going on right now, so I'm guessing the amount of real people trying to sign up for the site is minimal at best.

I'll agree to the suggestion of closing user registration. It HAS been a while, and so as long as we are all ready to go when the next one shows up... or if anything at bungie smells fishy, this shouldn't be a problem, should it?
Besides, it kind of bursts my blissful bubble to arrive here and find the newest thing to be a list of sales prices.

I agree with that suggestion. I will PM Wu Thursday (way too busy the next couple of days) to shut down new user registration.

If another mod wants to do my job, go ahead. Just edit this post when you have made contact.

Contacted LoneRanger2.5 to shut down registrations as of 8:36 PM PST 3/26/09
