Suggestions to fix anon accounts/Porn Spammers/Gore Spammers

[Tiggles]

Make every forum other than Starting Player/Tech Support/Petitions requires a premium forum account.

In order to make a premium forum account you need to make a .25-$1 verification via paypal/credit card to get full access.

Non Premium members can view anything they want but are limited to just posting in the free sections.

Instant way to stop spammers and troll accounts.

Or just tie them to in-game accounts and ban emu accounts with forum accounts.

What stops them from making infinite lvl 1 eqemu accounts?

This way you can blacklist names for good.

[Messianic]

Problem is some of these idiots are so sad that they don't even play - they just want to troll the forums.

Or they were banned and are incredibly butthurt.

Much better idea.

[sanforce]

Tie forums to emu accounts and require a level 10+ character to get full forum access (other than Starting Player/Tech Support/Petitions). I know, it'll never happen....

[NegaStoat]

This. Other emu communities do this and it mostly works well for them.

The main problem is when a common jerk-off will make a throw away game account to go with their throw away forum account and spam up a board set in the off hours. Perhaps some form of "you can't post at all until an in-game character on the account hits level 8" or something.

The exact math and numbers can be hammered out. Special moderation of the Starting Zone and Technical support would have to happen. Dunno.

Posting privileges granted past level ~15. Newbie forum where any account can post once moderator approved.

[Bardalicious]

Or you could take matters into your own hands and disable pictures in User CP. It's not like 95% of them are worth viewing anyways.

Thank God. Forgot about ignore.

[Nirgon]

In the user's forum profile add a field for

IPs this user has logged into forums as have always been used to post as XXXXX


Empower the community to police itself rather than burn out more mods/guides/GMs.

[myriverse]

Require something like 100 posts before you can use code.

Just need better captcha, phpbb security generally sucks.

[Lictor]

How do you ignore forum accounts?

[Gaffin 7.0]

first you got to delete your avatar then go to user cp

[Lictor]

Thank you.

[Duckwalk]

Ironically, almost positive Lictor asking how to ignore Gaffin.

[Bardalicious]

This is vbulletin not phpbb. And that only helps for botted spammers, our spammers are actual people.

I wrote a chrome plugin this weekend or last that hides all images on the page, turns them into a link, just to get an idea about chrome plugin development. I thought about giving it out here but it only took 5 minutes to write so I'm sure fancier ones that do the same idea exist.

Umm... like User Control Panel? :confused:

YET.

Sounds like a lot more work for the devs and guides who do this for free. = (

I love this... please do this. Make it level 15 though, so we'll at least see some of these people out in oasis or something grinding :D

[Kekephee]

Post more gore

[Sirken]

nilbog and rogean are ideologically opposed to the idea of forum actions having in-game consequences.

their opinion on that has changed.

[Truth Bringer]

their opinion on that has changed.

Wait, does this mean that my necromancer Stealin will be banned because my forum account got banned?

[Sirken]

Thank fucking god. It was unbelievably frustrating to attempt to enforce forum rules with nothing but forum bans. Just look at the name of abacab's latest account.

It has not escaped my notice that they've come around to my stance on many major topics of disagreement.

uthgaard, im one of the few people that truly understands and means it when i say i feel that same frustration.

[Derubael]

The infrastructure isn't there for this to happen, but even if it were, nilbog and rogean are ideologically opposed to the idea of forum actions having in-game consequences. It's one of the reasons why forum bans are so ineffective.

As Sirken was saying, this is something we're doing now in some extreme cases.. The good news is after the recent loginserver/eqemu updates and tweaks linking forum accounts to login-server accounts is possible. But even without that, we can almost always match a forum account to an in-game account if we feel an in-game punishment is warranted.

Jeremy KS'd me once in KC and took the loot and not long ago he said mean words to me on these forums.

Please hire an asian lady to run him over with her toyota prius.

[Wudan]

The question is who is gonna stop you from posting faggot

[khanable]

So if exceptionally bad forum posters will receive in game suspensions/bans, will exceptionally good forum posters receive green names?

Beloved Noble Guide Cucumbers Dickbutt really needs to happen.

[Nietche]

Are we honestly so concerned about anon forum posters that we want to give the real trolls something more to consume when they can pinpoint their attacks more effectively by linking anon posters to their in game identities?

As Ambrotos pointed out in another thread, are we also so concerned about anon forum posters about a particular guild that we are going to target these anon posters over those who actively, publicly, and directly bash the staff?

Yes. Why? How many anon accounts do you have?

This thread shouldn't even be in rnf.

[Doors]

Something should be done, getting sick of going through threads and seeing gore and tranny porn spammed for no reason. Was funny at first but now its just old.

Forumquesting is srs bzniss bro

Tiggles name is garbage, he just wants to drag the rest of us down with his sinking reputation boat.

You reaped what you sowed. You should have taken greater care with your words and constant need for attention.

$1 registration "donation" is a great idea IMO. Server gets a few bucks to help support it, we remove the idiot spammers. Win, Win.

[Rhambuk]

entire post = bullshit.

you're worried about anon posters making fun of you and your guild? don't be a little shit all the time.

the other 2 are banned within 10 to 15 minutes of being posted most of the time and only a handful of people see it, don't add these 2 into your nonsense reasoning of getting rid of anon troll accounts.

cry harder
