Villavu,
I'm sick of spam bots. Can anyone raise a plausible reason why we allow users to post links(multiple links at that) on their first day?

I agree! I am always coming across those now!
Make it at least 30 posts!
For the basics of the basics of pascal, try my TuT. ||Photoshop Editing ||MapleResourceDung Script || Book a flight! BuySellTrip
I agree with this!

Agreed, although couldnt they just post a link in non-hyperlink format?
I would also like to see a 50 postcount minimum to download scripts. We would have to make all scripts downloadable, not just code on the thread though.
Thx Euphemism and Vinyl for the awesome siggy and avatar!
15 posts is plenty, and I agree.
The scripts though I don't agree, more spam.
Anti-Leech Movement Prevent Leeching Spread the word
Insanity 60 Days (Killer workout)
XoL Blog (Workouts/RS/Misc)
at least people can see the link if they put it in plain text. even if it is short url'd
While your sentiments about downloading my be shared by several others i really see that as bottle-necking growth. If i would have come here and needed to post 50 times b4 downloading you can be sure I would have moved on.
Now ofc that i know the community and have been here since i was 4 i'm staying till i piss off wizzup and he kicks me
Fair enough, I wouldnt be here if that limitation was in place either.
Support for your idea!

I rarely see any spambots since the new filter. Spambots are banned rather quickly by ssrl.

Unless you installed a plugin in your browser called "filter" I'm not sure why you don't see all the spam bots :P
A small, simple and fully automated step like this would carry no negative side-affect that I can imagine.
I can't think of anyone that cares about content from a registered user that just joined 16 seconds ago... :P
Agreed with the OP and 2nd post.
How about we introduce Jr. Moderators which are select JR. Members + that are active most of the time.
This is the fifth time I log in today, still I see no spam bots. Yesterday none too. Were do you guys see them? Are they posting in a different time zone or something.

There was one earlier today, but I think thats it. Whatever you higher-up's did, its working!![]()

There is an annoying anti bot text thing added to the register form. And more important, there are loads of bots caught with a super deluxe very advanced method, recognizing text posting on other forums. If it finds similar text on this one it will automatically soft delete the thread or post. This blocked almost all of the free cc and louis vuitton handbag crap.
It is not waterproof, but most of the bots are caught.

Where am I going to get my Louis Vuitton handbags now???![]()

I agree with everything here.Post count before posting links.. and maybe even downloading scripts!!

Current system is working fine.
Hey Master, I`m from South Africa, my time zone is gmt +2, Sometimes very early in the morning, around 5 am to 10 am I do get some off these spam bots posts on the forum,not always though, most off the times, they are gone,but sometimes they do get through the cracks around that time frame, I think it has something to do with the time zones, as maybe there is not a moderator online during that time.
As to the post counts, I can understand why people want to make it more difficult to do somethings on the forum, but all that the post count requirements do, is to increase spamming as everyone wants to meet the requirements to do something.
Rather make it time constraint and activity based constraint before you can do certain things or access certain parts of the forum and maybe put in a requirement that you should release at least 1 basic script that can show that you are trying to learn and contribute to the community and that you are not just here to leach off other peoples work as is the case with pbot and epic.
