A VVulf works to limit Newbie spam...

[DerVVulfman]

The Registration page has now been updated.


It originally stated:

This is an 'instant registration' forum and no activation eMail will be sent. However, it is necessary for you to create at least one post for full member privileges (including Private Messaging (PMs) and User Control Panel (UserCP) access).  It may take up to one day for activation to full member status.

As of now, it states:

This is an 'instant registration' forum and no activation eMail will be sent. However, it is necessary for you to create at least one (1) post within either the Occasions or Feedback boards; an introductory thread with actual non-Spam content being preferred. Spam intro threads will be deleted. This is required for full member privileges (including Private Messaging (PMs) and User Control Panel (UserCP) access and User Control Panel (<i>UserCP</i>) access).  It may take up to one day for activation to full member status.

This is the fifth paragraph in our current Member agreement page before final registration.

As this is now stated within the registration page as well as the previously noted 'Newbie' announcement, anyone posting a 'Thanks" reply in a random post will find that post deleted.  We have an efficient staff looking into spammers.  Still, the changes are not complete.


This is phase 2.
