OK I've asked this before, and got nowhere, and so I will try again to get an answer - when will some positive action be taken to restrict/limit people registering on here and then immediately spamming the place with their idiotic links etc? Another one has just arrived, that's several just this week. This poll has been up and running now since the 12th November - and today is the 29th. I assume the poll was created to at least give some indication to the forum staff of how people feel, and it would then be acted upon, at the staff's discretion, in a reasonable amount of time....so isn't 17 days reasonable??...and if not, then when exactly will anything be done? Thanks.
I think it's a question that doesn't really have a winning side though. How do we limit new users without pissing them off when we are already having a decline in users in the first page. From my perspective if new users come in aside from the members names they aren't seeing any span most of the time. We kill that quick enough. The one solution I suggested initially is just banning the overall ISP's but Magic informed me that this shuts out a lot of innocent potentially users and even glitches current users with similar ISP's so it's not a working solution. If I was to go by reading through the thread I'd say the consensus would be that a restriction is not the answer unless it was a very short/limited solution. For me it's my job to kill the spammers and that's not a big deal. I think we have to focus on other areas for growth personally. I'm not an admin. though so someone with a gavel will have to chime in to give a final consensus/answer but that's what I know!
