Do something about the spammers and advertisers...

[hgbf]

I know this has been suggested many times before, but I will still make this because of what happened today...

If you don't know what happened today, it probably got removed and the user(s) banned. I have archived the page so you can understand what happened...

Not letting members post links without 5/10/15 likes has been suggested before, but this spammer did not have any links in his messages.

My suggestion is that members should not be able to post more than 1 thread every day or post any links for the first week on the forums (anywhere but in the report a player section). That would probably get rid of a lot of the advertisers and spammers.

You cant just ban an entire country, that would be discriminating. What if an Indian person comes along and tries to post something?
I do understand that IP banns would help pretty good. But banning an entire country? I dont think that's the solution.

Best way is to get reCAPTCHA.
Will make staff's life easier as well.

Oh, I know that thread, but this one is pretty similar. So why not post it :D

We're talking about the same thing, blocking any IP that comes from India. In my opinion, that cannot be done, as if a player from India wants to enter CubeCraft (server or forum), why would he not be able to if he hasn't done anything?

This is not the thread about banning ips... Please read my first post before replying.

Somebody said that, and I replied to it. And that's similar to the original thread.
