1. I would like to suggest the prevention of posting the same content within 48 hours or so. This would decrease SPAM and increase QUALITY. With an average of 25 page per day, only half of it will be unique post, the half are just reuploaded to another filehost. The forums had enough resources but since the SPAMMAGE continues, the users will suffer during peak visiting hours.2. Deletion of post of BANNED users. Most of the BANNED users had already spam the board, why would you still keep those posts? (While not hurting your SEO rating)3. Strict implementation of double posting rule. With the 15 max post on DDL subsection and the privilege of posting unlimited amount if 180 posts had been reached. Try to see how this goes :"A person would post 15 threads a day for about 12 days with MULTI tags on his thread or a reuploaded without searching if his filehost was already in here. After that he would now choose 1 NEW filehost then SPAM the hell out of the forums."I already reported such persons explaining how they exploit the privilege of having post greater than 180. Please try to look at these persons.Feedbacks and violent reaction are welcomed. Thank You for reading.I agree... There are a lot of spammers... For example in hongfire(dot)com the user had to have at least 30 non spam post to write in the direct download section and there are no spammers.Spammers spammers everywere...Yes. The proliferation of these SPAMMER will contribute to high loads in the server and the DECREASE in visitor's satisfaction with Akiba's Content.I hope further restriction willl be applied to the forum.Quote:Originally Posted by rsuploader2. Deletion of post of BANNED users. Most of the BANNED users had already spam the board, why would you still keep those posts? (While not hurting your SEO rating)We do deleted there posts, but we can only see there last 500 posts deleted or not.1. something to think about, but it would be fair to do that if the first poster provides enough mirrors (which is most of the time the case, I admit). I fear this leads to even more "first poster gets the cookie" mania that we had already.2. it depends on the infraction, for instance we do this most of the time for multis (which is the main reason users are banned)3. Dunno lol. This is a multi-parameter problem, with too many users, too many filehosters, too many new releases per week, too few moderatorsUltimately what we need is a real hierarchy between good posters and bad posters, but setting up the thing is not easy.1. If the admins can come up with a specific list of recommended/allowed filehost then uploaders would be limited to that.Some forums have Required Filehost + Any of your choice mirror.In this way both the free user and premium user will benefit in downloading.2. BANNED USERS's post shouldn't be in here anymore. Since most of their download links are dead.3. You can easily spot users with this tactics. Most of them would post right at first, even though what they are posting are infact double post with filehosting links already posted. Then after the 180 posts, they will be now focusing on one filehost then SPAM the hell out of the forums with this NEW FILEHOSTING.I can name some of them and you can investigate. I'll just PM if any mods/admins would like to know who they are.I also notice the mods would really have the same GMT. We can have some mods with the alternate GMT.Quote:Originally Posted by IdolFunWe do deleted there posts, but we can only see there last 500 posts deleted or not.Actually there are a few tricks for that. Playing with the search routine you can prioritize different parameters, (such as newest posts, oldest posts, most viewed, etc.,). It is a little timeconsuming however. Another idea might be to put a delete on sight for any banned users posts.I would like to point out that, relevant or not, not every banned users posts violate the rules. Otherwise they would likely have been banned earlier. Sooner or later they just get greedy.A note to members:Try not to be too critical or demanding of the moderators. This is an impossible task they do in their own time. It drove me to complete insanity, (okay, so it was not a very long drive to begin with), and is more frustrating for them than it is for any member here. It is a very hard job given the tools they have to work with. Not to mention the determination of the spammers that attempt to make Akiba-Online their home is the defintion of obsessive. Try instead to be supportful and helpful. They would appreciate it and more will get done.(And just for note, Idolfun is a badass out there and there aint a spammer here who dont know him. Seriously, I have seen him work before, he kicks ass.)I would also like to raise the exclusivity of Akiba-Online. Disabling the registration once a while prevents the likelihood of those SPAMMERS. Trust me, this METHOD always work.Quote:Originally Posted by rsuploader1. If the admins can come up with a specific list of recommended/allowed filehost then uploaders would be limited to that.2.

We can have some mods with the alternate GMT.working down the list of points1) because of the amount of regions we cover, not all filehosters are good in that region, I have problems with some filehosters, hence we have many filehosters, the other problem with only a few filehosters, if they go down and/or have problems, you are then restricted, and filehosters are coming and going at the moment.2) Banned Users, we delete there posts, some do escape, but you can report the escaped onesinvestigate membersInteresting, we do a lot of investigating, but if you think you have a lot more than we do not know about, by all means let us know about them, if you have as many as you say, again lets us know, but what you may suspect is not the same as having real proof, we do not want to ban new members for nothing, and just recently we have been doing a lot, but if you feel that you know some please tell usGMTI might show up to you that the times come up as GMT, it is because you are in the area, or you have your set up that way, most times there is a admin/mod here 24/7, notice most times, not all times, as all the admin/mod time is given freely, ie in there free timewe have opened discussions about, Disabling the registration once a while prevents the likelihood of those SPAMMERS. Trust me, this METHOD always work.I hope this helps you,I am also suggesting the deletion of topics having dead links. Don't you plan to add a VB plugin to check links?**I am asking admins/mods if I can post the same content of the same filehost given that their links are already dead?Thnak You
