Shoutbox Spam
« on: March 24, 2004, 02:24:09 PM »
Alright.

The amount of spam in the Shoutbox is getting out of hand. Every day when I look here, I see a page or more of just spam posts. (In History view)

I'll say this for the 20 millionth time, Please do not SPAM!

This is getting way out of hand. If I catch anyone spamming (one time is ok, but pages of spam? and repeat offenders?) from now on, they will be BANNED from using the shoutbox. Period.

I think I've said enough, and I'm sure the other admins agree.

I agree. And thus, I have remove the ability to use the font, color, and size tags in the shoutbox.

You may still use bold, underline, and italic, but I think the size and color tags brought about a lot of the spam.

It may seem like I'm being "harsh" or controlling, but I'm just trying to protect my investment. If you can't agree with that, then I ask you to leave.

That was really good.  I enjoyed that.  I hope Luweeg gets to here that.  That would probably be his theme song. LOL  :P  

And op2hacker I agree that the spam is really getting out of control.

I've noticed that 6 of my non-spam shouts have been pulled, and I've had to re-shout them.  ;)

I also noticed that 4 of my spam shouts weren't pulled. :huh:

If you want us to delete a shout and we're on, get in touch via PM or IRC.

Any Admin or Global Mod can do this.

No.. not like that.. this is a check to make sure you don't hit refresh. In no way will it stop you from shouting two times in a row. It just makes sure we don't hit refresh on the shoutbox page.

yeh, but our community is small enough that we shouldn't have to have a system to deal with any spam-inclined people. heck we are all inteligent people, just remember to think before you post.

He means when someone posts a new shout, if they accidently click the button twice or refresh the page, 2 of the same shout can be made.
