Spam getting worse here?

[Andrew Scherer]

there is no spam here

Make it so you can't start a thread until you have at least 5 posts.
Problem solved.

Why not more? Low post limits always result in lots of shitty posts, like the BHW 15 post's to PM or something like that, the forum is full of "nice post" replies.

If you go to something like 50-100, you're dealing with threads started by people who are actually invested in the community and deserve some responses to their inquiries or what have you.

Spammers complaining about spammers hehe

nah people will just do the 50 or 100 posts that it takes them to get more privileges.

I know the staff here are lazy asses and no one really gives a shit but if you want to actually fight this kind of shit you have to look at a whole bunch of characteristics of a user and not make that algorithm public.

xrumer won't be doing that.

We should start a rule for new members:

No posts until you have at least 10 posts. That should reduce the amount of spam and shit threads.

lol

yeah that's what i addressed in my second paragraph. Getting rid of shit posters should be second priority to getting rid of spammers though

 

[mimoza3]

because people are slowly giving up on WF unfortunately.

what makes you think that?

Exactly. This way no new member could post at all (vicious cycle).

 

[fixie]

Give me delete thread privileges and I will help in sorting these threads out during AM hours (CET time).

 

[dmnEPC]

funnel all new members to a newbie section, and not allowing them to post on the rest of the site until they have made 10 relavant posts in that new section

 

[AdHustler]

Yea the spam has been bad but it takes so damn long to one touch ban them that its harder to get rid of fast

 

[Dwight Schrute]

I propose that all WF Premium Members have thread delete privileges.

I think it's a bit unfair to limit such privileges to those that can afford WFP

One more vote to x number of posts before you can start a thread.

Everyone always says "read before you ask"...this would ensure that new members do that, as well as reducing the spam if the threshold was high enough.

We wouldn't want no poor peasants here anyway..

perhaps you could try e-whoring and you might be able to afford the privileges afforded to WFP members
