A google search for the second and third thread author shows that he goes to forums and asks really basic general questions, in which he usually includes his forums link.

Re: Spam report
Is there a way to generate a list of users with <n posts? I was on another board the other say and the admin simply deleted all the users with one or two posts. That might not work here since we have a couple people who actually post one useful thing then disappear.

Re: Spam report
I think this would be a bad idea here. Some people have registered here for the sole purpose of using their forum authentication when they play.sinewav wrote:Is there a way to generate a list of users with <n posts?

That would remove 6,273 of 7,643 users registered here.sinewav wrote:Is there a way to generate a list of users with <n posts?

This was my first thought as well. I think it would be a terrible idea.Kinda Slow wrote:I think this would be a bad idea here. Some people have registered here for the sole purpose of using their forum authentication when they play.
Re: Spam report
Yeah, I'm stupid. I completely forgot about authentication. Though it would be really cool is 6,000 more people were using those GiDs instead of every player here having 5+ smurf accounts.
I don't think spam is real problem yet. This forum sees quite a lot of activity and we catch a lot, thus dlh's post. I think this is more like dlh pointing out "oh hey, I called it!" which is pretty cool. amirite?
