Stop automatically considering all new accounts as "spam" or "bots" please!

It’s about $100 to enable Akismet for spam filtering.

I really wish NodeBB has some basic features like posting limits for new users/IP addresses. No posting links until a certain reputation and so on.

I’ll see what I get after the upgrade but it looks like there may not be any other option except Akismet.

@Midnight_Reaper Thank you for posting this. I have forked this posting to a separate topic.

Let me just add that it would be great if everybody noticing spam would refrain from commenting on spam postings.
Flagging the spam is totally sufficient to bring admin/moderators into action to remove and purge the dirt.

Further commenting on spam means that we unneccessarily would have to deal with those comments too, that remain somehow isolated when the spam/the spam accounts have been removed.

Thank you all for your help to keep this forum clean.

Moderators should copy and paste the rules in their entirety into any post

Yes good point i was gonna make. The text of the rules should be crafted in a manner where exact conduct code can be copied and posted in these threads for consistency. This not only treats bad posts universally, but gives moderators a constant reference to the rules so they understand them.

That’s exactly what I do. In fact the posting to the forums is only a convenience feature. We would all be able to use the latest TripleA by copying and pasting the summary but, alas, there is no edit mode to fill in your opponent’s moves.

Did not like the demotion DF?  I see you are back into 10th kicking Marine back to 11th again…

I take bribes.

:lol:
Hey, I’m good for that if Yanny’s not game.  He’s inexperienced anyway.  Or is that why you like him?

oh dear Lord - i’m out.  i have no way of responding to this right now.  Besides my head exploding and having my refried brains all over the room would be a real pain to clean up.

So…is that a no?  Ok, I’ll stop, but you started it.  :-P

may i ask what the political cartoon fiasco was all about?

I have to agree – nice work DJ! :wink:
