xGardner05x Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hello Everyone, It seems that we are getting spammed with bots that seem to be only advertising adult content. I have setup some spam precautions, such as now all IP's that connect to this site are compared to a database of Spam IP's provided by <!-- m -->http://www.spamhaus.org<!-- m -->. But this will not solve our spam problem, so i will be getting to start 1 new Moderator so that we can keep this under control.n Who this New Moderator will be i have yet to decide. Please dont spam me with requests to be a Moderator i will choose myself. If the person i choose does not follow our rules and is disrespectful he will be demoted and replaced. Anyways, I would also like to congratulate us, now this forum has over 100 members. Prize giveaways will probably still be at the 500 Member mark but im not sure. We are deciding if we will stay with our current forum system or move to something else, not to worry our current database would be converted so we would not lose anything. That is all for now, just wanted to post a small update to let members know what is going on. Im new here. I just want to say that i also think your text is to bright to see. Also the web is far to in ya face to stare to long at anything written on it. My last gripe with the site is. If your gonna be discussing something as big as Halo. Then having a shout box is just welcoming spammers and haters. Other than that , this is a very kwl and interesting forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean PHD Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 lol, there some right now Haha Excellent. I am glad I got in here early. I have only been on about a week or so here. I like that I have a lot more freedom in the forums here to talk about future stuff. One of the Forge forums I am regularly on is really picky about how often you can post and what you can say about future halo projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Biggles Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 This is the issue with letting the community pick a moderator...everyone is just going to vote for themselves. however, as i have had experience in this area from many forums, i would like to put myself forward as i can deal with the situation quickly EDIT: have 2 mods, 1 EU and 1 NA, so we have both timezones sorted.

Spectral Jester Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 the new skin/setup I believe will stop the spambot from posting some of the rubbish. between myself/Emo/Bob/Twam/ibotpeaches there should/is someone on most of the time.

Archangel Tyrael Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Well, I'm just glad Twam took me and peoples suggestions for a new moderator. Sometimes trolls, spammers come in here harassing people and no mods or admins online to deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectral Jester Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Some sigs are too large, but the new forum skin that's forthcoming will limit the size of sigs, so enjoy it while it lasts lol OT Dean if there are some extra large sigs PM me, and I will take a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandiBunni Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I'm not sure if you're still giving Moderator positions or not(if not, it's perfectly fine.), but I'd be willing to look through the board during the day and help keep things from possibly getting out of hand. I'm usually not too far from my PC most of the day, so I could lurk around and keep an eye on stuff. I've had my own forums before (though they've eventually failed due to a lack of activity), and moderated on a few of my friend's boards so I've had some experience with moderating.

The Director Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Spam bots. Why do they even call it spam anyways? Isn't spam a lunch meat? What does lunch meat have to do with the internet and annoying people by flooding posts? Ah, but I digress. Spam bots are bad mmkay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
