Can I Get A Mod On This Mp3 Bullshit???

Seriously, this is clogging this forum with junk. I don't know who our mods are but this is getting ridiculous.

I sent a PM to Wicked Neo. The webmasters need to something more than just ban the names.

Indeed. This is a serious issue ... I think "New Thread" button needs to be removed or tightly controlled, as a first measure.

a bit of literary trivia for ya, Groucho Marx is Allen Ginsberg alias in Jack Kerouacs' beat generation classic novel On The Road

I think a few of the long time forum members should be given mod priviledges so they can delete these spam posts. We all know we can trust peple like Shakka, magnetonium, etc. The regular (daily) visitors to these forums should be the ones to moderate. It's really ruining the boards, having to search through 10 spam topics to see the last real one.. I'll be glad to do it myself if given the opportunity.

I never even bothered to check, are the other sub-forums effected by this too?

Gaming forum is also effected, and the core obviously, but in the core nobody notices it anyway.

If it could e set up that users with 0 posts cant create new threads this could probabl be solved.

Thanks for the vote of confidence!

I guess there are several more effective methods to fight the bots without even introducing that silly code with every thread. Because the code doesnt even work well with Yahoo Games and robots still bombard the chats with junk (I play some yahoo on rare occassions).

As someone else mentioned, we can restrict making new threads to people with over 5 posts or so.

Pretty much every active forum is affected. EVEN Polls forum.

Only Archives has escaped the punishment so far.

You serious? It's even in the stickies!

Anyway, what Magnetorium said in the other thread is true: We, mods, do try to keep this place as clean as possible, but sometimes there's a surge when we're not around. That could happen regardless of the amount of mods we have. Therefore, should that happen ever again, pm a mod and ignore these threads, as they will eventually be dealt with.

Is it just a missing security patch for the server maybe?

Yeah, but users browsing this forum is also stickied.. so maybe shakka thinks that mods keeps changing and he dosent know who the current mod is.. because it keeps changing....

Or maybe I just don't pay attention and am too impatient to read and prefer to complain out loud! The squeaky wheel gets the grease yo!

No doubt - Swamper is pretty good at clearing this stuff out of the system so I have no worries.
