Spammers

[beans307]

What's up with all these new members spamming threads? I just had a guy post nothing but a smiley in one of mine.

New rule, have to post 5 times to see links and images. I guess spamming beats the purpose. 5 quality posts is good

I don't get it. What's the point of the rule? They're only here to download stuff anyway. That means they're going to make 5 posts, get what they want and leave for good.

I came here to post a thread about this. Get rid of this 5 post rule. It's turning browsing this forum into a nightmare, especially themes. I think there are a bunch of new threads, but it's just old ones spammed in. I noticed a lot of the regdates of them are from months ago, so they've just been happily lurking until now.

You may think I'm being hypocritical cos I don't post here much; I only do when I have something I want to say. Despite my low postcount I have a reputation of 4, which I don't get, so I must be doing something good.

Why not just make it so unregistered users can download things? But only at idle server speed. (for example, a registered user will get a better speed advantage than the unregistered one)

Well it isn't working. It's just making a mess of the forums. And how exactly are they supposed to make any sort of meaningful comment if they can't see anything?

Thank you for all of your suggestions. The staff will definitely take them into consideration.
