Major change to nite
« on: July 05, 2007, 10:16:22 pm »
To night i have finally made a change to the forum that allows only forum member to enter the forum.Guests cannot read until they register.I dont know if that will make any difference to the spammers freeloaders and lately the porn posters.....more importantly will it be a dis incentive for lonely proflex and k2 owner surfing the net trying to find a home....i can "unset" it allowing guests to read only.....I think thats how it was set before

up to you mate but I'm happy to delete porn stuff if you want to give me permissions - I check the site every day (probably when you're asleep down under!)...

i dont know if being a mod allows you to delete posts or not,I guess it does because i didnt delete a couple of the previous attacks....I will email Dave to see will change your status to a mod Orange.I dont think Carbon Kiwi is very active nowadays so maybe you can step in for him...I will have a look but i dont think i can change your status,there are actually six mods

As a moderator, I delete the junk posts whenever I come across them... (And occasionally I even repair picture links for people who weren't quite sure how to put them in posts).

If it will help hold down the SCUM I am all for it. It's not like it is a major hassle to login.

equally though, between the mods (and if I were made one too), it's not that hard to delete such posts as I wouldn't want to put off casual passers by either. It's a tough one to answer really...

I really don't know much about this spamming, but if it helps you then require register. Does the registration reveal the identity and location?

Orange has a point, it may discourage the passerby from browsing, and if some new mods would help, the smut would be knocked off fairly soon. When I saw them, I would have erased them on the spot, so I guess I would volunteer also to mod. We could be self policing so to speak. If it still is a problem, then back to register.

It is just amazing to me that someone just keeps posting this stuff. Has to be time consuming, but maybe it is his/her income.

not time consuming at all sadly - they have automated means of doing it
