Idiot Spammers - Toyota Yaris Forums

BEEF · 06-26-2013, 04:22 PM

You could reject any posts that have links in them until 10 posts or so. I know many forums that have that sort of thing.

I don't want this to be a forum that nobody wants to be a member of because of the requirements to be a member but I also don't want this forum to taper off because of spam everywhere either.

If CT were to leave, we would be losing quite an asset. I am sure there are others that have thought the same thing (about lessening their involvement in some way).

We're doing our best but please keep reporting the spam. Only our two admins can change the registration process. What would be nice is on new posters the first posts had to be approved for the first few then auto approval after that. I've experienced this on another forum and it works! Also I still can't moderate anything in the 3rd gen area. I can ban them though.

Agreed. There are other yaris-friendly forums, but there's more focused information here, as well as highly knowledgeable members. The up side to the other forums is that they are regularly attended by admins and/or people that have the ability to directly curb the spam (or so it seems).

Understatement of the year (or longer).
