Admin nuggethunting Posted January 26, 2007 Admin Report Posted January 26, 2007 Hello All, Looks like the "Porn Pushers" are starting to raid my forums. It's just a matter of time until they found me. I might have to change the forum so new members will have to be validated before they can join. This will elliminate the "Porn Pushers" from just posting whenever they want. Actually, most of these porn sites have "Bots" that do all this for them. They aren't actually doing it .... What do you all think? Rob Allison Quote
Ridge Runner Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 Hi Rob I say do what you think is best for the forum! If porn was prospecting we all be into it but its not. So why don't sick-o's go where they are wanted? Thanks for taking the junk off. Chuck A. Quote

FlakMagnet Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 Rob,I hate that stuffbut can easily go around those posts...all the forums and most people'semail get them, we're all getting good at bypassing them...I will go with whatever you think is best for the forum.Flak Quote
GoldMember Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 Rob,Did you see the two links in the other thread? Change the name of the forum to remove the word GENERAL. Also, you might want to see if one or two longtime trusted members are willing and able to take on moderator powers, so someone besides you can kill the porn posts as soon as they appear.On a forum I run but have no time for lately, I set registration to manual approval. I';m getting a minimum of ten requests a day, most of which aren't regular posting members; I'd get one a week "real new members" before the spam onslaught. Bottom line, 2 months later still 10+ per day and a huge backlog has developed with no end in sight. I find it hard to vet the applications based on username, I wound up accepting NO members! Don't let your board die this death. A few mods can help clean the messes fast.Regards,-Goldmember Quote
grubstake Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 ROB, your the man, do what you have too! You can't be wrong, its your forum, regular members joke around, but this stuff is tooo! much. A couple of trusted modarators will whach over things for you. Grubstake Quote
29prospector Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 Rob,You do what you think is best for the future of the forum. The real members will behind your decision. These pron pushers need to go no matter what. So do what you have to do.BobPS: If we could teach them to poop gold nuggets we drop them from a plane and let them scatter gold all over CA & AZ Quote

pondmn Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 Rob I like the idea of validating new members as this crud is too much. Also if you decide to add moderators to regulate these spammers I would be willing to volunteer. Jerry Quote

Rob AllisonRob,I think that you are lucky that you made it this long without being hit by the porn people. I ran a forum for a little while and it was only a matter of weeks before I started getting this stuff.Awful that you have to waste time dealing with this B.SRegards,ken Quote
scorpion Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 I think that moderators are a good Idea!Keeps the burden of having to always police the site off your shoulders.I volunteer.If the want to be porn stars they can go to myspace and leave us alone!karl Quote
Reno Chris Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 Rob: Go ahead and make it so that you have to individually approve new members, its no big deal for a human, its problems for the bots.Chris Quote
Guest sandtrap Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 Do whatever it take to clean this up!! Quote
