I've been going through some of the topics today trying to catch up on some things, when I've noticed that there are a lot of spam posts by unregistered members? Is it possible that registration be required? I know it can turn off some people, but it really cuts down on chances of lotsa trolls and spamfiends.

I don't like this idea. Allowing guests brings far more normal posts than it does troll posts and it lets people get accustomed to the forum and grow a liking to it, this means they may register and help the site.

agree with r havell.

all ppl visiting abandonia and find the content usefull will sooner or later register.
but restricting informations for registered users only is kind of narrow-viewed.

this is more or less an open community, so we should not try to claim new users
too firmly...

Try and visit the forum as "guest".. it's quite restricted..
few topics visible, and even less "postable"..

Yeah I just checked out being a guest... Quite alot of it is changed. I also too this screenshot. It kinda shows how having guests on the site is important. I think it does anyway. If we disables guests, then there would be 30 or so less people here right now.

Indeed..

We just need to keep friendly against newbies :bleh:

Maybe restrict guests to, say, 1 post every 15 mins or so, to prevent spam.

Actually....
The worst spammers are the members. ESPECIALLY when they are drunk! <_<

second that...

Bah, posting when you're drunk isn't fun.
Now playing an MMORPG while you're drunk, THAT'S fun!

Say the names and we will burn them :bleh:

Kosta :ph34r: :tomato:

Let's play a little game. The first person that says I have posted drunk on this forum gets a 1 day ban, and every subsequent person gets twice as much than the one before him/her got :bleh:

:drunk:

You posted drunk on the forum.

That's 2 days for her. Who's next? ;)

You posted drunk on the forum YAY

Could I trick Fawfull into saying it? I been trying to catch up to her(him?) in total post count but I have nothing worthy of interest to post lately. :bleh:

HEH!! I am da master!!
I am so irresistable!! I got unbanned!! ^^
MSN suckuptactics ROCK!!


I wrote him a poem :bleh:

so do i get only two days???

No, you got 4, and if your poem-writing skills are as good as puffins, you might get unbanned too ;) But why am I writing this... he can't read it anyhow :P

harsh :(

But, go Puffin, beat the man down! :ok:

I mean... way to negotiate yourself out of the situation, yeah... :whistle:

A guy can never resist a good poem! Hey, I accept all kinds of sucking up... ;)

If u dont want to get banned just dont tell Kosta he is drunk
OOPS :whistle:

I'l l go for sixteen if you don't like my haiku.

Kosta is a drunk
He spams the forums a lot
Just don't mention it

I dont know he was drunk becouse I wasnt there(maybe even wasnt registered)
So I shut my mouth and try to play good boy, and hope not to be banned :whistle: (and stop spamming :whistle: )

I need to stop with this game or xcom would get 8 days, and R_Havell 16.... Its nice to see people don't take me seriously around here, but I don't want to win the next "Most hated admin" poll, so go ahead, make me proud with your haikus :P

26th February, the official ban/spam day....

Not to be completely offtopic, and to change the subject :P, requiring the registration isn't a good idea, and what this topic has turned into only proves it...

Don't drink and post
Smoke and fly!!

Aye, poetry is a fine method of reclaiming the good graces of another...

Especially a good limerick, teehee. ;)

There was a fine admin named Kosta,
Who said, "Tell me I'm drunk and I'll bust ya,"
Then Puffin did slip,
With a twist of the lip,
Til she cried, "Let me back, or I'll cuss ya."

:bleh:

Sorry for the soft-rhyme, it's hard to rhyme "Kosta" :(

:D

Great limerick, Tai!!
Kosta is easy to rhime with in icelandic :whistle:

Ég ?ekkti einn gaur sem hét Kosta
hann var alltaf fullur af losta
En lundinn svo datt
allt allt of hratt
og spur?i hva? koss myndi kosta.



(note that kosta and Kosta is not the same thing. kosta (small k) is a verb, "to cost".
Lundinn = the puffin)

Uhh... yeah... so what does it mean? :angel:

Muahhaa you'll NEVER KNOW!! :evil:

HAHAHA I know :D (But I will take it with me to the grave... mwuhahahaha :twisted: )

Funny, considering you just told me... :bleh:

Okay, enough spamming by Tai... :whistle:

Still a SPAM day??

I posted while I was drunk, I've done it twice actually.

I've ripped out a speed limit sign and left it sticking out of a drain while drunk too, that was difficult.

I never posted drunk here.That would be a lack of repect on my part

Well, I posted drunk, once. Still ashamed of it... :not_ok:

Happened to me once, too..

As long it happens not too much it`s not really a shame to post drunk

What was your drunk post Freddy? I've never posted drunk as I never been drunk.

Something too stupid to mention it here. But if you would like to search, it's in Blah Blah Blah.

i don't recall posting drunk, but you probably couldn't tell the difference. i've been known to post places while stoned before though.

Was it that "Question to Someone" thread? If so then I can truthfully say that I can understand you wanting to get drunk.

:ot: :blink:
