FYI: I am working on a code change to restrict posting by anons

Excellent move...

to only permanent threads.

...ah. Hmmm...would it not be better to restrict it to just a single "anonymous bullshit and beef" thread - that way we wouldn't see 99 anon thread bumps in the Mapping Help thread by *cough* not spy at all *cough cough* 
To Be Fair 
I also would prefer if anon posting was restricted to just GA.

(thanks metl, btw!) 
Tbh 
i'd agree with kinn here then.
need to be free from anon morons on the rest of the func tbh (except beef crap).
kinda tired of exhumed posts of old that move new ones below.... 
Then GA Becomes The Beef Thread 
I also would prefer if anon posting was restricted to just GA.

Then GA just becomes the beef thread.

I wanted to add at this point a link to a youtube clip of Angry Frank's (from Harry Enfield and Chums) famous catchphrase, but it seems the internet hasn't quite caught up yet with the classics. To wit:

Is that what you want? 'cos that's what'll 'appen! 
Let It Become Beef Then. 
It will make an excellent argument for pulling the plug on anon posts entirely. 
TBH 
I don't mind GA becoming the new beef thread. 
Thanks Metl 
Really useful at this time. Please, definitely restrict it only to GA or Beef thread, even news threads have become swamped recently. 
I Agree With Restricting Anon Post To One Single Special Thread 
Other than that, thank you metl for taking the time and implementing this at all! 
Agreed 
Thanks metl. 
The Change Is Live Now. 
Anonymous users cannot create threads, and can only post in "permanent" threads. 
Thanks Metl 
 
Thank You Metl 
 
Thank You! 
 
Next Step Of War 
now the're registered users that spam and registered today (4th july):

http://celephais.net/board/view_user.php?name=anuzlato

i wonder if we can block them somehow for ever

post #2676 in Mark V - Release 1.00 
So. 
I'm away from Func for several days. Metl restricts anon posting. I come back to multple threads with new posts. And there is only one single spam post instead of dozens.

:qthonk: :qthonk: :qthonk:

Ggwp metl! 
Omg Shums Back 
Yeah it's almost freaky. Good stuff metl. :ok_hand:

But....who's this joker? http://www.celephais.net/board/view_user.php?name=anonymous%20user 
Good Stuff Metl 
I lurk quite a bit nowadays but it has been a pain the arse to open up threads with 15 spam posts (for example in the mark_v thread). 
Metl 
Can we have anons off permanent threads too please. 
 
doing the spammer's work for them now? :) 
 
A [code] tag would be really helpful. 
 
It feels like most spam could be prevented by simply blacklisting the word "Jersey". 
Hold Up. 
Ya wanna blacklisht the name of my shtate? Vafangool!! 
Yes 
Though blacklisting it in the title is probably enough. No need to blacklist it in the body. 
 
Killing anon posting across the board would be better than blacklisting certain words after a couple of days of spam. I don't see the latter being a long-term solution.
