There you go metl. The true value of ""non-spam"" anon posters.

What's The Point Of Accounts Anyway?

#2369 posted by khreathor on 2019/06/01 13:37:39

Delete all accounts and make it anon only website.

No Problem

With tronald dump anon post above. It made a point or two. But yeah limit those to beef, etc.

But coming to the site and wasting clicks on anon spam is a drag when it can be remedied.

As far as registered spam accounts. Would be great to at least stop any of those moving forward with some kind of captcha or validation thing. Quakewiki.org has a simple system for posting there. Seems to work but gets less traffic.

All I can say is at some point this place turned a corner and it needs some steering... or whatever.

Lol

I have to say, this anongate stuff, if anything, has breathed a bit of life back into func...

...maybe we should keep it as-is, to keep the beef sizzling ;}

j/k - I think metlslime's stats show a pretty clear case for banning anons just to wipe out 70% of spam.

Motion To Ban OTP Please.

lol, yeah just make it happen

Metl.

PLEASE disable anon posting. The spam bumps are really tedious.

Agreed

#2375 posted by dumptruck_ds on 2019/06/20 20:33:37

or capcha - or something

No Capcha

#2376 posted by Kinn on 2019/06/20 20:42:17

We should not make it more tedious for actual members to post, but we should make it very difficult for spammers.

Add an extra text field with a friendly name to the form. Hide it using css for humans. If it has data as part of post request, it was an automated spam. Won't eliminate all of it, but should work often enough.

#2378 posted by muk on 2019/06/29 19:26:27

wow almost 200 spam posts in less than a couple hours all in one thread?

With the second batch containing the title "Stay Vigilant"?

it definitely couldnt be spam from one of the loudest proponents for removing anon posts. thatd just be crazy!

Congratulations on misreading "Site Help" as "Beef Thread".

And no, it wasn't me. I was busy talking to Terry Cavanagh about the (trigger warning just for you) job!!! (sorry if the sight of this word offends you) I'm doing for his upcoming game, would be rather hard to do that and also keep spamming posts.

Thanks for the consideration though, I'm glad that my arguing against anonymous posting gets recognition in such high circles.

#2382 posted by muk on 2019/06/29 19:40:41

oh wow some classic func_xenophobia. classic. keep up the great work!

#2383 posted by Thulsa on 2019/06/29 19:45:48

Is there such a thing as autoxenophobia?

On topic though - hidden field helps with a huge chunk of bots. If this board is not written in Perl I can contribute a patch.

Haha

FYI: I am working on a code change to restrict posting by anons to only permanent threads.

#2388 posted by anonymous user on 2019/07/02 06:00:40

At the very least allow it in release threads too please

Get fucked.

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*
