Forum rule update

[Auntie Mangos]

Greetings,

within the next few weeks, we will deploy an update to the forum which prevents new users from adding signatures ar website links, unless they have contributed with topics or posts on these forums.

Due to the increasing amount of account creations for the purpose of commercial link building we will implement restrictions.

This change will allow us to more effectively filter out the spam, and ensure a spam, and advertisement free forum in the future.

With kind regards,

the mildly pissed off tech bot

Heh, I wish ALL forums used that method. It should actually be a default setting for them all, no matter what software is preferred. Thank you for this.

In this case, it is a custom plugin we have been building recently to prevent further crap. Custom watch dog to eat on the 500 spammer accounts we usually have to kill weekly. This way we can catch em, prevent damage, and just batch delete them.
