rudrax Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 A few minuets ago, A guest posted a spam (may not be available after a mod gets online) having harmful contents for minors..I propose, this facility should be terminated ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roy Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 If it is true then I agree with you but why should everyone suffer because of one "miscuided" soul? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 If it is true then I agree with you but why should everyone suffer because of one "miscuided" soul?Nobody would suffer - bonafide guests can always register (we take a serious view of this latest fling at pornography.) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudrax Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 If it is true then I agree with you but why should everyone suffer because of one "miscuided" soul?I agree with dcs18..If you love nsane community then you will register and you will post your ideas in a better and convenient way..Guests should just given the chance to explore, not to interact..If something needs to be interacted, you register and become a proud member of the community, that's all.

clubhouse Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I agree, as it stands guests can break rules that members can't, just seems like a crazy situation, its not as though there are fees to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Lite Posted January 18, 2013 Administrator Share Posted January 18, 2013 The reason we allow guests to post in a single forum area is due to possible issues registering.There is no difference in the rules for anyone - guest, member or staff - everyone needs to abide by the same set of rules.

Sonar Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 A few minuets ago, A guest posted a spam (may not be available after a mod gets online) having harmful contents for minors..I propose, this facility should be terminated ASAP.After thinking... The idea is great but if that user wants to spam then all he needs to do is register... then spam away... untill a mod jumps in...This is life of forums :DThe reason we allow guests to post in a single forum area is due to possible issues registering.There is no difference in the rules for anyone - guest, member or staff - everyone needs to abide by the same set of rules.would it be possible to make a sub section "for guests" only seeable by guests so registerd users cant see it.then atleast you as admins can still help them register?

dcs18 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Generally, I wouldn't react to Spam as long as it's limited to harmless advertisements - I do report a few, myself. However, once it starts getting vulgar and porno - it's time to come down heavily on the perpetrators. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olexijl Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Well, spamming around is something all forums have to face with, sooner or later. And russian ads for where to buy clothes is not something weird B)... However we need approved guest posting, i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mods and Staff both remove spam/threads and close threads whenever required. No such limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeMasteR Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Registered members with an common sense will see/identify and report such topics very fast and only when no one is around with required permissions, some topics will stay for some time but not for very long. Sooner or later, everything gets closed/removed if it's against any of the rules.If regular members could delete topics or posts, it won't take long until someone would abuse that ability. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marik Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 i also noticed an increase in guest spamming, which wasn't the case a few years back. maybe a captcha for guests could be implemented or something random that the guest has to type in before his/her thread is to be published.

Marik Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 then something like rapidgator you enter a captcha, then you're given a code that you need to paste into another box or some weird shit that you need to copy/pasta into a field before the thread can be submitted or threads will need to be manually approved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
