Notice: Arbitrary membership rules change

Post by Dbug »

Some people recently registered on the forum - that's good - and did not post any message.

I'm not going to ban anyone, but I will remove the website link in their profile, because for what I see it's just free link for them without them actually participating.

Thanks for your understanding :)

Besides 90% probably are link spammers, most links leading to sites marketing various drugs, casinos or sex related services. If you are so inclined, you could browse through those and remove seemingly nonsense users in order to not have inflated membership numbers.

Some people with zero posts are just registered so they can see the new posts. I removed the suspicious links - all 3 of them -, for the rest my super advanced anti spam method seems to have worked quite well :)

Perhaps an Oric demo should be a condition of membership?

Being interested, and respectful of other is good enough for me :)
