How do we wanna do registration now?

I think CP will always exist - This is why you need good mods to get rid pronto.

But some may look at the 100 + post and not bother and I think that is fair at least.

Any kind of limitations on legit users will hurt the community a lot more than a few spammers or PI-rats or CP-dipshits, no matter what the justification.

Make it admin/mod approval only.

Make it admin/mod approval only.

How would we know what are good users and what aren't though?

[fanglekai]

Just make it open registration with limited privileges until you hit 100 posts. If people bitch about it we can laugh at them.

[ThaTermeneter]

Exactly, I think it would just slow down abusive members registering by slowing down registration in general.

Why not just open it wide up, find a group of people that together can have a presence on the board nearly 24/7 to get rid of the shit.

Also look at the email services these people are using, do they use normal emails like yahoo, gmail, etc?  Maybe certain disposable email services could be disallowed for registration purposes

You wouldn't. Don't listen to that retard. He's the one who got zok to setup mod/admin approvals for new signups, which basically killed any chance of the forum's expansion.

Nope. That was out of my control. However you can easily tell the ad spammers by there username which is a bunch of gibberish, and check IP's and sign up emails for alts.

Anyway, you'd need someone dedicated to the approval process as not to stifle growth as spectral mentioned. If you have a guy or two looking at registrations you could cover it. This is how it went down at Zoklet and accounts got approved in a day or two and all the ad spammers were kept out.

I would also like to second that if you wish to succeed, it's probably best that you just do the exact opposite of whatever Psychomanthis suggests. He means well, but the choices and decisions he made were a huge part of the reason for why Zoklet isn't around anymore.

What Spectral said was pretty harsh, but Psychomanthis kind of is a retard.

Bullshit, Zok closed the site due to his PI. Nothing else. Trust me i talked to him on IRC several times.

More bullshit. For over a year, new signups were constantly asking why their accounts were still unable to post after waiting days or weeks, and that's just the ones who could somehow make the contact to ask. The rest just fucked off because they couldn't be arsed waiting any longer for you fuckups to approve them.

Its just patently absurd that Psychomanthis has the audacity to claim that Zoklet's tactics "worked" in regard to registration....when its already been proven it was a failed model. Zok started with thousands of regulars, and ended up with dozens in the end. And exactly what happened? The site had to be closed because of its failures and stupidity, and yet Psychomanthis thinks he has ANY answers at all in regard to how to "properly" run a BBS.

Use the Constanza Rule with anything Psychomanthis spews.....he was part of the higher echelon the last few years, and the "success" of Zoklet is all anyone needs to know how great his ideology and attitude will work for future BBS endeavors.

Jesus Christ, couldn't you have left your bullshit over at Zoklet? Listen up faggots, i'd be happy to engage you in a useless discussion about Zoklet and totse and whatever the fuck is on your mind. But let's keep this topic about the sign up process now shall we?

Wahhhhhh...poor Psychomanthis wants a clean slate and wants all his sins to be washed away. Sorry Jackass, all we are doing is showing YOUR FAILED WEBSITE and how YOUR FAILED TACTICS would end up doing this place a lot more harm then good. Seriously EVERYONE hated the way you fools handled registration, yet you have the mind numbing audacity to come on here with a confident and authorative tone as if it "worked".

How fuckin daft and dumb can you possibly be?]
