As there is so many multiple ID these days, might be the cause of error 503 (high load server)I would like to sugesting for Staff here to open registration one day in a week, no automatic email confirmation so staff can scan the IP first if there is same IP or proxy IP on registration the registration would be deniedany others sugestion?most of them are Vietnamese posters, (i'm not a racist, i love vietnam)they will do everything just to piss other works.some people here in akiba are urged to become a member just to repost other people's work. sad to say, you waste a couple of hours just to make quality posts and suddenly the spammers will bug you as much as they can.why not just assigned people who has a good reputation and deliver quality uploads.the funny part of reporting alternicks and spammers is like this, cursing and threatening me via PMi'm not familiar with Vietnamese language, but this is what i got with Google Translate.original messageQuote:Fuck you,t? sẽ trả th?bạn nếu như bạn cứ tiếp tục ph?t?.translated (Google Translate)Quote:Fuck you, I will avenge you, if you keep breaking me.Quote:Originally Posted by aikonheythe funny part of reporting alternicks and spammers is like this, cursing and threatening me via PMi'm not familiar with Vietnamese language, but this is what i got with Google Translate.original messagetranslated (Google Translate)lolnever had PM like those beforeand I'm lazy to translate useless thingsI hope I'm not getting weird PM xDand by the way, how does banned ID can PM you ?Quote:lolnever had PM like those beforeand I'm lazy to translate useless thingsI hope I'm not getting weird PM xDand by the way, how does banned ID can PM you ?of course, he's not yet BANNED when he sent that message. as of now, there's another user (new member) who are mirroring my newly made topics (Exclusive DynamiteChannel MOVIES), what's more annoying is the fact that all he does is to click and make copies from it. and voila! he got an instant filesQuote:Originally Posted by aikonheyof course, he's not yet BANNED when he sent that message. as of now, there's another user (new member) who are mirroring my newly made topics (Exclusive DynamiteChannel MOVIES), what's more annoying is the fact that all he does is to click and make copies from it. and voila! he got an instant fileslolthats correct, the major cause of these are there are a lot new filehostingsorry as I knew that you are using wupload for your filehostingfor an examplelast time staff here banned fileserve for the reason spam, but today they cant ban wupload as there is wupload banner on this board xDwe get angry about them keep coming back, the banned list is getting bigger everyday, if anybody can come up with good idea, we do listen, and we have many tools in placeHi CK, its very obvious that those spammers will gamble their membership just to spam the board. they really don't care about to be banned for their actions. the more alternicks, the more chances of spammingwe knew it sir as we deal of these users. I think akiba should come up with another rule that recognize the contribution of true uploaders, its not necessarily to have a huge numbers of uploaders and posters if they will just making trash and recycling trash, but to distinguish who are really deliver and bring good quality contents.in my case, i'm not against alternative host or mirrors but in respect to the original uploader/poster, how about leave it just for a couple of days or a week. before making mirrors. aside from that, what is really annoying is the fact that they just let their leechers to make a copies from others' files while the original uploader put an effort to produce screenies and everything.for the spammers and copy-paste people, let's face the truth, uploading is a competition if those people can't handle the competition, so be respectful and don't be just a DICKRIDER.A wild idea came into my mind.To have a thread in the announcements section, where people have to write a word or two, so that they are allowed to upload stuff. Not sure if it will reduce the flood, but at least we know that they have spent a minute there, or that they are not bots.Even better: the message must be put in the rules thread, like 'i have read the rules thank you'.Then if we find someone posting in the torrents or direct download sections, having not confirmed he has read the rules, we can delete all his stuff and give him an infraction.They can post in the discussion, news, request and help sections without any problem.Of course the problem is that the list of people to monitor will grow steadily, while the number of moderators not as much, but I believe this is an idea to dig into.Many forums don't allow people to access the download areas before they made 10 to 30 posts, so it's a compromise between the current situation and a strict policy against posting.^ good point, new users who wants to post their uploads should a have visible activities in the forum prior to their plan to post to the download section,.etc.. this will help to stop the autoposters/bots to propagate their spams, and it used to limit the user to create alternicks that serves them as back up if ever the previous one was BANNED. unless that user is willing to sacrifice time and hassle to build activities for all the alternicks that he made.
