Ok, So there was a stupid spammer last night and I think there should be a requirement to post topics. Like at least be registered for 25 minutes and 10-20 posts. I don't know if anything like this Is already implemented but there are spammers who start topics and users who post 2-3 times and are all 3 topics under technical help that the user never relies back to. Just a thought anyways
I agree.  This would also help keep Bots out too.  pawn, Spam, etc.

Maybe make it so that they have to be a member for 15 minutes before they can post?  Anyone who is a true fan won't mind waiting that extra 15 minutes before they post, and it will discourage most spammers from coming back to spam us after signing up.
This is a good idea. And I also think that you should have to start a topic in the introduction part of the forum before you start doing any other posting. I hate it when newbie's with one post randomly post in topics before introducing themselves. And I agree with you about how they ask questions in the technical help and never post again. You should at least thank the person that helped you. >_>
I think a lot of people who sign up sing up JUST because we have a technical help section, and knowing they can get help.  Then once they get help ... we never see them again.
Yea they should at least say thanks XD what did their mother/father/grandma/pa/ teach them! lol
That 2+2=22!
I thought it was 11?  {wacko}
{blink} Maybe it is.  Math never was my best subject {blush}
XD I hated it until algebra I love algebra it's such an easy A+

anyways back on topic: I think you should to have at least been registered for 15 minutes and have at least 10 posts before you start a topic. I remember I signed up somewhere and it was like that
