v1.5.3
- New accounts need to be approved before they can post links or use the chat
- Only one registration per 20 minutes can be made
Are these permanent?
I'd like us to consider allowing you to remove these features without notifying us, at any point in the future. Whether it's in 3 months, a year, or longer.
I mean for now I've just been figuring it makes sense to approve new accounts as they come in while writing them down into a notepad file if they weren't obviously someone known to keep myself accountable. As long as the userbase understands how much effort it puts on them instead of bitching about seeing even a single instance of it then it's basically handled.
Speaking from experience, having to compile a list of names before spamming slows down their process exponentially, and even once they have a huge list of names they're still stuck going through the approval filter once again after they burst through them all. It also forces spammers to be more clever or to just resort to topic posting without clickable links. It also doesn't wreck "The Puppet Game", it simply filters it's room to be done through sheer quantity.
One registration per 20 minutes though... I feel like we'd at least need something on the registration page to have it not confuse new members.
