5 ways of stopping spammers

[lAngelP]

but not if someone is banned who wants to join the forums

If you are banned you must appeal. In my opinion, if you was banned in the server you shouldn't be able to use your forum account.

Then how do you appeal?

On appeals.ccgn.co, which is completely separate and doesn't need a forums account

7) Disallow users from creating threads until their account is a set period of time old.

Rather than do that, let them create one or two per day until they have spent about a week on the forum?

6) Set a limit for amount of threads created/ links posted for people who are new here (7 days or less on the forums)

Good ideas :D

Except for idea 3, these words can be used legitimately.

Another idea, CAPTCHA when creating threads.

Have you ever seen someone (but the advertisers) use any of the words? xD

I like this idea, because most of the spammers don't even play Minecraft, and most probably don't have a premium account. Although, they can get free alts..

Just block swear words.

One way to deal with spammers :

• Ignore them

This will most likely get fixed when the new website is released.

You know what's funny though? How all the ads are on health related products :P.

I would bet they're not human. And BOTs don't care if you pay attention to them or not. They do what they have to and that's all.

Personally I would prefer a system that only allowed a user to sign up via the server. For example, if a player did /register <email> then their account will be created. This would decrease the forum spammers but it would also mean most of the accounts on here now being reset.

Or maybe so you can verify it via the server with /code, and you will get a verification code to activate your forum account..
