Invasion of spammers.

Post by Chalgrish »

*sits down at reporter-esque desk* This just in! Several "trolls" are invading Dragnix, mucking up both the Drawings Section and Message Boards with profanity and inanity. They must be stopped, banned, or restricted in any way, shape or form.

I have added flood control on the drawing section, consecutive comments on one file from the same user will no longer be allowed.

As for the board, I'm tempted to disable anonymous post and well, I warned one user let see if I can find some more.

@ Dragonobsesie: I got the impression that this guest is speaking about the trolls (both guest message are by him/her). So I will give him/her the benefit of the doubt.

For now, I have done some coding around the board and anyone who forget to fill a username when posting will receive a friendly reminder to enter one. This should greatly improve things around the board and make clearer distinction between the many guests users around here.

Couldn't you just make it so that they can't post without putting in a name? Like in the drawing section.

By spam, do you mean useless messages?
