I dunno, I think hes been assimilated into WoW for good, sorta like in Tron... the computer sucked him in!

Hey! I delete spammage too! OK, I'm not really fast, and I'm not on 100% of the time like some addicted net junkies.

Agreed that life would be better with more dedicated moderators, though.

I am against this 48 hour wait. We used to post articles, and sometimes they attracted new people. Those people don't want to wait 2 days to comment. Why don't we add bigben, jaydee, and a few others to the moderator list? That way they can just delete the threads themselves rather than reporting them for me, you, and Brian to delete.

I personally think we should have a Freexxx.com forum and autoban anyone that posts to that forum. THAT'S natural selection at work.

bigben2k 11-14-2005 11:11 AM

Oh heck, count me in: spammers only though, I'm not going to moderate anything else (been there, done that).

pHaestus 11-14-2005 11:16 AM

It's pretty clear we dont moderate anything other than that

Joe 11-14-2005 11:20 AM

yeh I can get them setup as Mod's tonight.

What about post naked pictures of Joe and/or Ph on every page, and subscribers would pay $1.00 per month to get access to the site without said pictures??

Joe 11-14-2005 03:52 PM

See I think that would be a gold mine ;)

pHaestus 11-14-2005 04:02 PM

You've brought up naked pictures of me and Joe a few too many times for it to be merely a joke.

Wanna go camping?

superart 11-14-2005 05:35 PM

Bring enough mind altering substances to make me not remember the ordeal, and maybee

Yeah I am in.

Tempus 11-15-2005 06:33 PM

:mad: But what about those of use who NEED that new Xbox360 and only hear about the super deals in the forums??



More seriously, it sounds like a good idea. If nothing else, it forces people to wait 2 days before they make complete fools of themselves.

Joe 11-15-2005 07:15 PM

Ok.

Jaydee, BigBen2K, 9mmCensor, and Mikoto are now Mods of the ProForums, fighting SPAM like the best of em. Thanks guys!

greenman100 11-15-2005 11:54 PM

I can help if needed, too.

We are DOOMED!! :evilaugh:


Seriously, this solution is much better, wont drive away possible good contributions, and gives some guys more reasons to come here!

bigben2k 11-16-2005 11:39 AM

He he. It's all good, we really don't need the spam. Between all of us, we can get rid of the spam rather quickly.

It's dissapointing that we actually have to do this. I'm all for the freedom of the internet, but spam is an abuse of that freedom.

Watcha gonna do... :shrug:

superart 11-16-2005 01:09 PM

why dont we make a sub forum where all the spam threads can go. That way those of us who need free ipods, 4 extra inches, or viagra will know where to go.

Re: New Anti Spam measures on the forum
 
I love the idea, there is YEARS of free content on this site already, more than enough for a beginner.

Pay the damn dollar and SCREW the rest of you spamming CHEAP liberal BASTARDS! :laugh2:

for those of you who don't like it. :dome: my butt!
:D

Re: New Anti Spam measures on the forum
 
turns out we arent going to do that ;) but I am looking at ways of getting some premium content/services on the site that will be of aid for people and get some money back to us also.
