Exclamation Growing Problem - 04-10-2008, 06:24 AM

We now have a growing problem of people making accounts and posting:



Spam
Illegal Links
Pornography links

and all types of unwanted links. Im going to speak with nick and try to find a solution to this problem.

PS. Thank you all for reporting these posts. It helps moderators delete them right away.

Have you tried to do a e-mail validation so users have to confirm before they can post?

I agree with you. This usually discourages spammers from creating new accounts and posting spam, pornography and illegal content. It will continue to be a non-stop problem unless action is taken swiftly. I, myself have turned in more than a handful of these spammers that are taking away from this great gaming community.

E-mail verification should be implemented. there are so many useless repetitive threads all over the sectors of the forum.
