Admin - We want to help

Also to cut down on the number of spammer registrations, couldn't you just implement an email confirmation as mentioned above, or even a simple CAPTCHA wouldn't be hard to implement.

2. The spammers won't be able to create new accounts anymore. The registration page has just been updated.

Admin: PLEASE can we try to get people back to our board? Maybe if we tried to advertise our website more like how you have ads running on the site, what if we got ads running on other sites? That would surely help us get back to normal. We can write about autographs in the ad, how fun they are, and the board! Just my idea, though.

Sorry; but what are you on about.

Maybe you should try understanding the problem before suggesting ideas?

also, I dont see anything on the registration process that will stop spammers, I just made an account using a fake email address and it took about 30 seconds. theres still no email cofirmation required

Spammers are bots not humans

Capcha and email registration are useless with these new bots :neutral:

Look, admin, I'm not trying to be rude at all but if you keep recruiting people into Mods, the board is gonna be destroyed soon. I think over the last 6 months, I saw about 30 people become mods who I barely see on the boards...by making them mods, you are letting them move and delete ANY topics/posts. I don't think it's fair, sorry.

You should PM your Team Leader about that :neutral:

So what is the "upgrade" to the registration process that you mentioned? If cacapa and email confirmation is useless to bots, it should still be implemented to help stop HUMAN spammers like Tony. But whats the upgrade? Its the same as its always been from what I can see, and the forum was spammed about 20 minutes after you posted saying they couldnt do it anymore :neutral:

I think what BABii_ANG3L meant was that we should STOP recruiting TM because then we will have the boards destroyed.



AND THE BOARD WAS JUST BEING SPAMMED 20 MINUTES AGO!

I can't because she's not the one making new members TMs immediately.

Well, I for one am going to be much more strict with my team's TM's (and certain Mods) and since admin gave the GM's now full authority over who becomes TM's and mods, it's going to be implemented immedaitely. I have 2 TM's at the moment out of 8 (last time I checked) who's actually worthy of becoming full mods, while I'm unsure about the rest... And then I have inactive mods too...

Well, at least we can now decide on who's TM's and who becomes mods! That would help a lot to make this forum a much better place for all. {thumb2}

I can't because she's not the one making new members TMs immediately.

That's strange, BABii_ANG3L - as far as I know all the GM's can now fully control their teams - with just one click, you can make a member a TM on your team or promote them to a full mod, or even put someone on your team who's already a mod or TM.

Thanks,
