kaotik1 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Just tossing this out to Mervz and Josh. Is there some way that you can add Capsure to the sign up process? I think this may cut down on the spam, as well as help to ban IP address. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Holty Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 But if you have the new post restriction on, at least you can please the people that have been here the longest and contributed the most. Isn't that more important than someone that does not know how to use the search button asking what CAI or Exhaust to use for the 1,000th time? It does not need to be a high number, just enough to keep the Spambots away. It was actually a 50/50 mix of senior members and rookies that complained the most.

0 Fireman31 Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 This will almost make every new person search. If it were to be say five or ten post big deal. Introduce yourself that will make up about five post right there. About your truck would be a few more. I believe there should be a required amount before you can host your own topic. My two pennies... BTW for what it's worth posting is not that hard. member less than a year. Post count when I first joined almost a year ago, you had to have 5 posts before you could start a new thread, I think we need to reinstate this. Besides, Mr. P. had a thread for newbies to get their post count up....... New Forum Member Thread by Mr. P. BTW for what it's worth posting is not that hard. member less than a year. Yeah look at me, been a member for a hair more than 11 months, And I have close to 3500 posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 FireRescueSS Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 You can't please everyone, though the 5 post rule could be a pain in the butt, but it did keep the site pretty clean. Also, we need to have a post whoring thread for ceartin members.... Well, maybe a whole section for them, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rausche Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Bring back the restriction... It kept away the spam and the lack of search button use, so I'm all for it. Competent new members will have no problem adhering to the rule, and it's worth it to have the restriction in place even with a few members complaining (although no current members should care because it doesn't affect them.) Just my $.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Holty Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 At this point we are going to see if the new tools sk_josh has planned will help with spam and then go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
