Suggestion for the Admins

That's not an answer, that's what I'm asking. I don't post nearly like I used to in Civ MP, but I did, that's evident. Would be a deity if I hadn't constantly screws up early on. Ming would set me back up at best point he could find.
NOW, I want to be King. Cooler King. Like the avatar.

Sorry, you'll just have to wait for the OT to culture flip to you.
Although if you want to offer me loads of resources then I could cede it to you, but you might have difficulties with uprisings.

Or Kid's. Which was my point

While we're on the subject of mods, is MtG all right?

Maybe I missed the appropriate thread, but he hasn't posted for months.

[Timexwatch]

Instead of more mods, how about a 6 or 12 hour "cooling off" period between registration and posting?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Is it actually possible to have these limited mods only having the power to lock threads started by those with less than 10 posts? Or is this going to have to be on the 'honor system'? I think it may be the later.

did I miss some good spam?

I imagine it could be hacked, if it's not possible within the software already. OTOH, that's a lot more work probably.

I think Asher has already suggested this, but why not just implement anti-bot measures? I'm sure most of these freebie offers are made by spambots. Unless we already have them in place in the registration process, that is.

Anti-bot measures, of course, being things like a randomly generated picture with distorted letters and numbers, and then asking to the person to type the letters and numbers down to a field for the registration to complete.

[Kuciwalker]

Wait, why are we trying to get rid of the freebies? I already won an Xbox 360 and an iPod.

[Sava]

well, to be honest, I don't mind the spambots that much

they don't come around enough to be much of a nuisance

and spamming their threads is fun!

plus, it's really more of a chore for the mods to lock or delete their threads

if Poly really starts getting bombarded with crap, then maybe implement something

otherwise, leave well enough alone

just my 2 cents

obviously whatever Markos and Dan decide is cool

[Dis]

I volunteer to be a mod.

haven't tested it out yet. . Too busy posting here and playing civ4. I guess it's not that much of an annoyance. Just a minor one. And my CD-Rom hasn't been acting up lately, either.
