King Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Not have it so the administrator has to register your account. It would mean a LOT more members and would be a much easier way to register! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Not have it so the administrator has to register your account. It would mean a LOT more members and would be a much easier way to register! It would also make it much easier for spam accounts to be made without confirming new accounts via email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I would totally have a spam account or two. Then I'd end up being an asshole with no good name to answer to. Then I'd end up being banned for life. Accountability rocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Frustration understood, King, but as far as I know, its a temporary restriction due to a proliferation of knuckleheads who peed in the pool and ruined it for everyone else.

King Posted October 21, 2004 Author Share Posted October 21, 2004 Well all you have to do is delete the thread and ban them! To be honest this forum could use a little more people.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 As I said, I understand entirely, but it would literally take a dedicated moderator whose sole task was to monitor such activity to do as you suggest, and at its heart this is JUST a hobby website created by two guys who love the VCS. A lot of us have adhered to it, but at its core that is what you have here. There just isn't the manpower to do so. And there are plenty of people hereabouts, when I logged on today there were over 300 new posts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Posted October 22, 2004 Author Share Posted October 22, 2004 I could do it I kid, I kid(unless you would let me!), but yes it's not such of a problem anymore, now that i've been around here longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HermChase Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I've seen (and had to clean up) a few boards where someone registered with five or six accounts, and posted 400 threads in every forum, and replied to every post (probably using a bot for some). Those are NOT fun. Thus, its a necessary step. Just think of it as airport security, but you don't have to take off your shoes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 Oh shit your right. Point proven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 AA has enough spam accounts. Therefore if people can't stand the verification process, then AA is probably not for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
