Some notes on Spam Control & New Users

Fire fox works great too.

Well... I guess I will make some posts... It's not got much spam in it.

just fry the spam and an egg and put on two slices of bread,

Huh. So THIS is how I'm greeted to a new forum? By being restricted! I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS! *fume fume*

Nah, I'm just kidding. While I did come here initially to advertise my game group's sessions, I see EN World as a vast reservoir of roleplaying ideas and suggestions. I think I'll fit in just nicely, here!

 

[Scott DeWar]

Your argument is invalid *snotle*

Even though many may find it tiring, I believe it is necessary for a forum as big as this one. I've been an admin for some time on another, really small, forum and there was a time when the spambots were more than the users. And also, I guess I should stop lurking and finally start posting and become a regular member of the community

As a perspective, some days we'll get upwards of 10K attempted spambot registrations. The spam defenses, annoying as they are, manage to deal with the majority of those, leaving only a half dozen or so a day that we end up having to deal with manually.

Goodness! I had no idea that EN World drew such a horde of spambots. Still, I understand why such defenses are up, and I wholeheartedly agree with having them implemented.

Exactly my feelings. I've been lurking and reading for a while now, and recently started downloading a few useful lists. Looking at the EN5ider offerings, I'll probably be getting a subscription soon.

Mighty efficient gelatinous cube operation you have here, Morrus! Certainly sucked me in quite nicely. And made me LIKE it...
