If you've been in /Chit-Chat recently, you'd see the group of trolls we had sign up. I know we have the 10 post per day limit, but that seems a little high; shoot, even I don't average that many posts per day. Couldn't we make the blue foot limit, I don't know, one or zero? I don't envision a scenario (maybe someone could prove otherwise) where more than one is required. Or maybe something along the lines of "you must wait n number of days before being allowed to post," and have a looser (but still <10) limit.

we could always do it like other sites, where you have to be vouched by multiple people to be allowed to post on forums

It was just a temporary influx of trolls, and not an overall trend showing an increase in stupid registrants.

Now that they've been discovered and summarily gotten bored, things should go back down to normal.

On the upside, my ban stats have gotten a nice boost. E13.gif

True. I meant it as a measure of preventing something like that from occurring in the future. That's also why I suggested the lag interval from signing up to posting, since your average troll will get bored after 5 minutes, much less 5 days.

They were going to come back tomorrow (or... today as it's 9:40 EST and stupid people come from america), but then the thread on the KFAN forums was deleted after someone from here posted some bestiality. So who knows.

I know who's responsible for the beastiality.

While fighting fire with more fire is somewhat frowned upon, I'd say that in this case it definitly worked because they ended up deleting the thread there.

I just enjoy the mentality of people trolling a DDR forum thinking that they're better for it... let's be honest here. If you're going to stoop to TROLLING a gaming forum, it really goes to show how much lower you really are.

Hush, you! I don't want the users to wisen up and start behaving! A couple dozen more bans, and I get that custom laptop autographed by Naoki! (Then it's, what.. three more bans after that to get the least wanted member of Be4U? Figure I could use some better decoration around this house.)

Indeed...and from an AM radio sports-talk show's forums, no less.

They seemed quite surprised that we were able to take control of the situation so quickly.

Indeed, while the forums there seem to be heavily un-moderated, except after their thread got deleted for horse porn.

Chit-Chat made me LOL. The problem seems to be making all the new threads. Maybe just let them post?

Yeah, I like that idea. How about 0 topics/5 replies? There are a number of threads in chit chat and gameplay that well-meaning beginner members might want to reply to; 1 post a day seems a little strict. Plus, preventing them from creating threads would seriously discourage trolls (and force the non-troll beginner members to post in the stickies E15.gif ).

Maybe the FAQ should be updated to reflect the changes in the posting limit?

I agree with the 0 topics, x # posts.

One thing I've always wondered is if it's possible to have the page redirected after registration. You could have the completed registration rredirect to a page with two option;

1) I have a question about DDR or DDRFreak.

2) I don't have any questions about DDR or DDRFreak.

Upon choosing option 1, a new list would pop up.

1) I have a question about DDR controllers (hard and soft).
2) I have a question about DDR console games.
3) I have a question about DDR arcade machines.

And so on. When clicking on these the member would be directed to a page listing where to find information about their request, and which forum these questions would belong in.

It seems like this would be a simple task (a few links on a static page) and would help cut down on the number of unnecesary posts.

Not that it would help any way with the trolling morons.

Just a simple suggestion. You can tell me to shut up now.

Hey - nobody asked you to do that.

We really should have been more vague about who it was doing the trolling. Taking revenge on them by posting farm porn or whatever makes us no better than they are, and could start a war. Nobody needs that, especially not us. I have enough crap to deal with here without having to constantly police the place for Rube spam.

That wouldn't work. Forum accounts are still $10.
