Actually there was one forum I went to that people couldn't make threads for 1 week minimum, and they had to have something like 30 posts made in other topics before gaining the ability.
That will still fulfill a bot's purpose.
3 per section is enough spam.
Really, the best solution is preventing them from being able to come onto the forum in the first place.
If the forum system we're on can support that sort of limitation automatically, I think it'd work out decently well.
I wouldn't be pointing fingers at people who are against the purposed counter measures: most of them have valid concerns about the suggestions. I honestly find that limiting post count on a timely basis to be a bit harsh to everyone, regardless of what factors are put into determining your post limit, for example.
It's an even more absurd accusation when you consider that the bots are spamming Korean gambling websites supposed for horse races. No one here would have anything to benefit from advertising that.
2) You still wanted to blame someone. 3) One or two people definitely aren't being constructive, but: If the website exists at all, them advertising it will always be seen as a benefit to them. I doubt anyone on NA forums (as a -natural- forumer) happens to be employed to this company/group, seeing as it's Korean horse racing.
1) Then what's the point of implementing an anti-bot measure if you're just going to remove it later?
2) And what about the people who are creating new forum accounts for the games they just started playing and want to communicate on those games' forums? Putting post limits on them isn't really fair to them.
I hadn't read that recent post on the other thread. From the context here I thought you literally meant "block the bots entirely. . . for a week." This would still kinda hinder newbies seeking help here, as help threads tend to have OP posting a few times in a ~day asking for clarifications or to give thanks. Or they don't know that you can quote multiple posts in one reply.
No you didn't say block for a week. What you said was that the measure wouldn't be a forever thing. Me missing the context from the other thread led me to believe you meant the entire anti-bot measure shouldn't be in place forever. You're just taking everything at exact face value, which is probably because it's the internet.
Maybe only limit these things to new accounts? Juuust maaaaybe.
Oh okay. Thanks for accusing me of botting.
uhm
wat
Can we all be positive and move on, yes yes?
On the topic of the forums:
Simply adding more VFMs with different time zones should help a ton. Mabinogi NA is a popular place for people from other countries to come chill out, so this should help a lot. He'll, I'd even volunteer to be a VFM o-o I'm here all of the time anyway LOL
I'd look forward to working with you for sure.
