Spammers please read

Post by +Colibri »

Hi.

Please do not post advertisements here. It's 100% irrelevant to the lifestyles of the members of this community.

By posting advertisements, you do no profit for yourself, but you do degrade the web experience for others.

Basically all that is of these advertisements, is that I have to click the delete button every day. Please do not post advertisements. If there will be more and more advertisements, this forum will go for a greater signup authorization, and so will others.

Thank you![/b]

you know the spams are an automated system.. they do not actually read any of the forums they enter.. you will probably have to put in some kind of verification system on the initial log in screen when someone applies for a forum acct... just my 2 cents worth

yep yep :)

well smart thing, they usually go for this off topic forum. Like they know this is the best place to post it... like they are trying to be less of an annoyance. Well, if it gets really serious then i'll put in some more auth system (or even manual authorisation by an admin, or thru the game).

that an awesome idea, an if you wanna code it simpler... have it like "January 12" "Feb 11" "March 10" etc... pretty much starting from month 1 an have the last month at the end... or colirbi could just make it feminie like he does once inwhile to some of us char's name... ha ha..

fulucy475 sounds ALOT like a bot... if not, then one REALLY random player... but the end text

""Information on the cheapest place to buy your Final Fantasy XI Gil. Never over pay for your FFXI GIL again. Top currency FFXI Gil service providers listed showing final fantasy gil, We work hard to offer the lowest prices of warcraft gold, buy wow power leveling cheap wow gold here.""

is starting to sound alot like an advertisement... which what bots do... unless i am wrong... haha, even when it replies, its a story about something that doesnt even pertain to the topic, infact you cant even get a sentence to make sense with the topic... might be something worth looking into?

once again, if fulucy is just a random player being funny, i terribly apoligize lol :mrgreen:

but if your a bot... then :verymad:
