Twam Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hello Everyone, It seems that we are getting spammed with bots that seem to be only advertising adult content. I have setup some spam precautions, such as now all IP's that connect to this site are compared to a database of Spam IP's provided by <!-- m -->http://www.spamhaus.org<!-- m -->. But this will not solve our spam problem, so i will be getting to start 1 new Moderator so that we can keep this under control.n Who this New Moderator will be i have yet to decide. Please dont spam me with requests to be a Moderator i will choose myself. If the person i choose does not follow our rules and is disrespectful he will be demoted and replaced. Anyways, I would also like to congratulate us, now this forum has over 100 members. Prize giveaways will probably still be at the 500 Member mark but im not sure. We are deciding if we will stay with our current forum system or move to something else, not to worry our current database would be converted so we would not lose anything. That is all for now, just wanted to post a small update to let members know what is going on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twam Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Well i deleted all the Bots posts and banned it. Requirements to be a moderator is just to be willing to scan the forums for spam and delete topics make by bots and ban them as well. Just needs to drop by the forum at least once a day.

SaintCT Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Would be nice to get this website a good following. Maybe get some logical conversations or debates going as well. The more topics the better. So I'll mention this sight to some of my other friends who also have an interest in the upcoming Halo games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
