Posted: Wed Dec 13, 2006 9:57 am Post subject: ZERO Post Purge First of Each Month |
|
|
In an effort to control the large number of SPAM-bots trying to use the board, We are going to start a 'Zero Post' purge begining the first week of each month. This will help identify the living from the bots. Please post a "hello' message if you have not done so already. Any member with less than one [1] post will be removed. Also, it helps us know who is a real person by the information in your membership profile, so if you list your interest as 'props, fan films, vacuum forming' etc, that would really help.
This board is only as good as it's membership, and we have some really tallented folks that visit here. Thanks for helping make www.TK560.com an information resource for vacuum forming and prop making.

A couple of people who I'm pretty sure are actual people, but haven't posted anything yet: Screenzzzz (from over at CNCzone.com) and yousah (from hobbymolding.com).
You might want to create a "Say Hi Here" forum, with a description that says it's obligatory... people may be likely to notice that and actually do it.

I just wanted to make my presence known. I just signed up on the 10th of Feb. This reply probably won't mean much. I do feel the sting, Jim. There is tons of dialogue out there for even myself to sort through...whew! Hopefully and slowly I can get to know everyone. |

Is there some way you can stop the new members from entering thier WWW until they have made x number of posts? If they were not allowed to put it up there would be no reason to become a member. Most have nothing to say that we want read or see. They are like trash blowing up against your fence and cleaning it up is a never ending task. Ok I've vented........ Peace out......... Fredo |

Well, I'm looking at a new board engine, that is more advanced in the registration process, but the free ones all have the same issues. Best I can do for now is a weekly spam purge, then once every few months dump all the 'zero' post members.

YO....Jim..How about going back to sept. 2010 and delete all members with zero posts before that... requiring filling out profiles would be a good idea ... _________________ If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you,
