Attention (mainly Lammalord since this affects him the most)

Ok, it's been a REALLY LONG time, but I'm back. My internet got shut down for 3 weeks, then I had some computer difficulties, but everything is running perfect now, so I'm back. Which means you aren't alone anymore lamma. Sorry about that. But I'm back now. Rejoice, scream, whatever it is you kids do these days, lol.

thankyou, we need to figure out how to get rid of these spam bots and crap that keeps going onto this site now...

0cossin77 says to add image verification, ex: a picture with numbers and letters in that you have to type into a box and/or use email verification. Also, you might want to look into Vbulliton.

Any of those will work, but here's the problem....we can't do that, only admin or Sir Emi can atm, though i've requested more power to do stuff like that multiple times now.

I believe they'd have to make you an administrators in order to give you those powers, though I'm not quite sure.

[Lammalord]

dont want to give us that much power lol

[duke2004x]

No you don't forums are quite customisable these days, they can can add powers, or make a new group where they can add people into, which gives people in that group certain powers etc...

a great combo would more then likely be:
registration before posting (which we already have)
image verification to finish registration
e-mail verification to activate account

that should be plenty to stop bots from posting ;)

[Lammalord]

i think emi has already done so...

[Seither]

he has, but that solved 1 out of a billion other problems that still exist.
