Spam Issues Solved

The stupid spammer from yesterday returned today with a new account. I've deleted all of his/her posts and banned the account and IP again.

Because I underestimated that spammer a little, and he/she returned by changing IPs, I've taken severe measures to avoid future spamming.

Now normal members are not allowed to post anywhere, excepting New Woopers.

Only Admins, GMs and people within the Active Members Group are able to post everywhere.

Don't worry, I've already added all of you, my active friends, to the Active Members Group. There should be no problem.

So, a member joins, posts in New Woopers, then I deduct if he/she is a good person or not, and gradually or fully give him/her access to the rest of the place.

If there's spam in New Woopers, it'd be way easier to delete it. I could even delete all the topics there if they're spammed, as they become useless after a while.

Haha, problem solved. I'm so clever.

By the way, spammers only attack prosperous forums. That's the positive side of this.

Yeah, but what if a new member joined in the middle of your night?
There are only two Admins, and one can't be bothered posting for reasons unknown to anyone.
Unless the mods have the ability to enable posting in any other forums, it might be a turnoff for new members.

That's the bad side.

I guess the member would have to wait a day.

By the way, if one of the people who are already AM says "I invited him/her" on the member's welcome topic, the new guy is granted full access by me when I see the post.
