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 presented an idea (a rough draft plan) for vetting new users ... and it was twisted and taken out of context in every way possible.
My aim is/was/might still be to prevent new users from abusing the forum.... not to prevent new users from using the forum.
It's funny how you can say the same thing and be read differently.
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.
It seems to me; no one in Korea (or anywhere else on planet Earth) would have anything to benefit from advertising that.
As for being harsh....
It would be harsh if we couldn't post at all (or we were limited to replying to /or on/ Nexon's posts only; on the main page).
~ Such as, back in the day when we didn't have this thing we call a forum. ( ← ↑ it used to be that way, back in the day)..
Besides... what I mentioned to start with was not intended to be "forever" ..... let alone "harsh". Those of us who have made it past filtration have no problem posting in the forum, and nothing should change. The topic isn't about standing in the way of users; it's about standing in the way of abusers (but .. lets drive the car off a cliff and avoid that point to prevent it from ever happening ... I totally get it).
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.
Where did I say anything about blocking anyone for a week? The problem with this entire topic; both in this thread and mine; is that the people responding are missing the whole entire point and even when the point is spelled out to them and explained in detail, they seemingly go out of their way to miss the point even more. ~ I would be amazed to learn there is anyone at Nexon with a full head of hair left. -- ... ..
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.
