This sticky thread is intended to be the one and only place where any member can challenge the bureaucratic actions of the board's Admins and Mods. Any particularly controversial incident should be given a poll thread in Voting, but that controversy would likely be proven here first.

Rascal,
Please read our thread on "Posting" for how and why we restrict new members to these two forums. This free software is very vulnerable to commercial spambots, which mostly seem discouraged from posting probably because they try to post in our most popular forums (which are the ones we restrict to the newly registered). As long as you post in "Getting to Know You", and you let us know that you are not a spambot or a fascist, then you are un-restricted the next time an admin is online.

â'neway's, ye wanted me back, n'êrre I am I guess I 'stand 'rÂt's, but not it's purpose and DEF. not how it's gonna reflect'rê movement - not like it ken stop'rêm from doin' it 'neway's. 'rÂt kinda collective punishment 'rôn't mean SHIT, an'rÂt's a fact. If spam or trollin' happens, man, since ye're so concerned, a ban is a click away. Considerin' the percent of registred peep's who are'rÂt's, it's more INACTIVE one's than so...'count's gettin registred. Also, yeah, it's VULNERABLE, in all technicality, but ALSO, you must renember REASON. It's a -VERY- small forum, with a -VERY- un-targeted audience for product's. I think we ken handle it... if'n ye just watch n'see if'rê number o'such 'creases, then act...as far as I see 'rêre's been no such thang. It's okay with preventive ("Let's not sit and wait for it t'âppen!") but really, it's unnessecarry t'restrict all newbies. Kinda is a "turn-off" to 'come a rebel...

Rascal,
I think you are underestimating the relentlessness of spambots on poorly protected internet venues. I am also the moderator at the inactive political board at democracymeansyou.com. I had to insist on some security measures there after a deluge of 200-300 casino spams hit the board in one day. It is simply impractical to leave the board vulnerable to voracious spambots that stalk cyberspace looking to leave their junk on any venue that will allow it. Most of these probable spambots never post, but that is probably because they are programmed to spam the most popular forums.

I don't mean to revive a dead topic, but I just wanted to point out that phpbb forums allow for restrictions to be made based upon number of posts. Maybe instead of keeping everyone from not being able to post until you give them member rights, maybe you should disallow them from posting links, until they have a certain number of posts? I know this wouldn't solve every problem that could ever arise, but I think we could get through anything that might happen anyway. Just my two cents.

We are going to lift the restriction, now that we have some safety measures in place... as soon as we figure out how to change it on this newer version of the forum software (we will have meetings coming up this week). I like your idea though, we should consider something like that.
Also, feel free to read our old threads and post your thoughts. I sometimes go back years to read and respond to old threads that become relevant again. The issues are still valid, so why start a whole new thread, you know?

Perhaps a better strategy would be to require admin approval for all new members? Spam accounts are easy to spot, and IP addresses are easy to ban.
