BBCode disabled for new members.

[Jargs]

I have posted this in the past but there has been recent confusion from new members who cannot use BBCode. In order to post BBCode new members must have 15 posts and be registered for 5 days. This measure was brought in to help fight spam.

Thanks
Jargs

[dadatheking]

figured tht out a lil later then needed lol :P

[amanh]

[Double]

[Neglected]

Wondered why I couldn't use Orange :(

Ah well.

[Billtheslug]

[QQrofl]

Don't come to me, lol. :)

- Nice, Jargs.

[Billtheslug]

Haha I wasn't aiming it at you =P

[QQrofl]

I know. :rolleyes:

But this will get rid of the nasty pictures, imo.

[devilcry]

would of though most idiots...sorry i meen people ^^ woul,d of figured this out by now,
guess not :D

i thik its a dam good idea TBH

[Euth]

So annoying =(

[Lightorius]

It is a very beneficial feature, to be honest.

There are some undesirables that come in -> register an account -> spam like there is no tomorrow..

As QQ mentioned - this will lessen, if not remove, this from occuring..

[treetree]

I /agree brilliant move
and the effect is immediate.

that's the way to write code :)

what spammer can wait 5 days
to spam. :)

hahahaahah

tree :)

[Ivan]

CAn i pLZ have help im trying to post work when im done but this is a big problem towards tht

[Sdyess]

You have to wait 5 days as well.

[master211996]

Man thats so stupid....Just because there new people they have to wait before they can't do [/CODE] and [IMG] If they spam easy way to fix it ban them -_- Then this disables the members that don't spam not to do this

My opinion,
Stupid....

(and stop sucking up to Jargs guys -_-)

[QQrofl]

How is it stupid? You don't know how many spammers comes on ac-web and spam their crap. Also there is kids on this website and I'm sure their parents DO NOT want them to look at nasty pictures of spam, so this is good. You're 1 out of 1 people who dislikes this, and I for one think it's kinda stupid that you disagree.

[Billtheslug]

I like the idea although 5 days without color was agonizing for me=(. I just got it on 2 hours ago.

[candyisgood]

Bah 15 posts, I've been on this site for almost a year, but don't have that many FAIL.

[Cele]

Go have fun in general and you will haha.

[master211996]

just stating my opinion idc if you like it or not -_-

Put it this way...it is win/win for everyone on many counts...

1. No more spam and porn and junk filling up our forums and hogging bandwidth.

2. Encourages new members to become involved..

3. Code and image tags and coloured text are not mandatory. You can tidy stuff up if ya stick around til your restriction is lifted.

4. The mods here used to have a LOT of work to do keeping a lot of this stuff down before you guys even see it. Our job is much easier now so we can focus on the more administrative (and supportive) elements of moderation.

You of course have the right to think it is stupid...Just thought I would point out why it is here and why it is staying.

As for sucking up to Jargs..I really doubt that was the intention of previous posters..The desire for clean and efficient forums plays the largest part in this argument, if an argument it indeed is...

[Faded]

It just encourages new members to post and try to be active rather then the hit n splitters and spammers, makes sense jargs

Seems to me you have something personal against me (which would be strange since I have never met/spoke to you in my life), stating that this feature is "stupid" and giving the solutions you did is just plain ignorant. If you don't have anything useful to say, don't say anything at all.

[M@R!0]

I think this is good because
1.Lot of new members come and spam shits
2.This make members more active.
3.If they want to be part of this community it wont be problem to fill those requirements

[bodellnatior]

ye i think it is a good idea. It will prevent spamm etc!

Nice idea Jargs!

[master211996]

I have nothing against you Jargs, just stating my opinion...

[dadatheking]

ridiculous

[Billtheslug]

You've only been here for 4 days.

[Lightorius]

OK OK this is ridiculous i have like 19 posts its been 7 days, and look


http://i43.tinypic.com/2gwxmib.jpg




still i see no pic come on rlly

is something happening or any hidden waiting things i have to go thru?

i have NO problem with ur "new" idea jargs but the 5 days wait thing is completely foolish

You have no problem posting..just a few disabled tags.

Not exactly a sign of the apocalypse.

Eventually you will get access to them an this will be a non-issue.

Weigh up the pros and cons.

Discussion closed.

[treetree]

of course you have a problem with it,,stop spamming
your negative attitude detected and stfu and earn
your place here at Acweb.

or something like that :)

good work Jargs :)

tree :)

[computerwiz656]

Hmm maybe putting a .mute username function for the moderators for users that are always complaining?

[dadatheking]

sigh

i just wanted to post and reply in graphix section, not trying to be next moderator, ya know


Im just some Photoshop nerd :)

I agree....

[QQrofl]

Wait 5 days and have 15 posts, there ya go. ;)

[Speachless]

Good idea, would help alot against the spam, even if i didnt saw it in a while

[kerp]

Maybe an idea would be to just enable the [CODE]tag, because there are a lot of beginners posting their config files in the support section and I think it is harder to read if it is just copied into the post.

I don't know if this would help the spammers in any way and if anyone can think of a way spammers can use it please post it here.


This is just an idea I got a couple of minutes ago please tell me what you think about it.

[Erkael]

TT need 15 posts , posting images?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TT

I agree with you all code tags do is makes the thread compact. and they couldn't use it for any harm.

[bossebo1]

NICE!!!!! hope it helps :)

Ive been here for like 20days now and have 20 posts..

/agreed

[seleneseraph]

Nice move indeed. No need to say more, everyone else already said the same :D

[Lanoboy]

Well my opinion its easyer to ban spammers , but the idea is kinda easyer to get peoples to be more active.

[kerp]

I don't think it is.
Because banning spammers isn't the only thing the mods have to do, and it adds up and become a lot of work.
So I think that it's good that some of the work will disappear due to this

[yezzy]

Thanks Jagras... I posted a Topic, and then i saw that i can use BBcodes.. I thought, wtf. But thanks ! nice !

That with post is it that, New members must reply ? like i do now to you ? or is it that we need to make 15 topics ?

It is 15 replys not 15 topics you'll have to do.

[ToXicKing]

im here 5 days lolz and 15 replies but meh still no bbcode <Wtf i can use bbcode?
:O

[BigFatLord]

Oh, I am 5 days here! And, more then 15 posts! But i steel cant yous BBcodes

[PaikProductions]

Now you can :P!

[BigFatLord]

Realy?

Now you can :P!


No i cant

Oh, Ok! Now i can!

[Desmos]

This is actually a good idea, a VERY good idea I should say. It will stop many
spammers & noobs =) Thanks Jargs, nice move.

[More]

Dang it D: Now I have to spam 15 posts to get BBCodes. *Sarcastic*
Its a good idea, but I think it may be more spam from new members to get BBCodes <.<
No need to judge me, Just telling my opinion :>

[Quelz]

I still dont have It and Ive been here way longer than 5 days and have like 18 post...

Example

[volkzero]

I wondered why i couldn't make things look nice and hyperlinks didn't work :rolleyes:

[HelpForMoney]

cause you are new =p

[Erwinator]

16 Posts but BBCode is still disabled =(

[googleforloss]

Man, that sucks.

[Vinze]

Man, that sucks.

Ha-HA!

[Noles]

I get the reasoning for this, it's just a tad annoying. 15 or so posts (even more!) is fine with me, but 5 days? If there is a spammer that's posting random links, I'm sure he'll be banned in plenty of time, and assuming a staff member is online certainly before the 15 or so post limit has been reached. The 5 days is just a bit much in my opinion, as it won't take that long for the staff to identify a spammer who's doing what he came to do. Just my opinion.

[siskin]

as understandable as it is, the restrictions really sucks.
i made an account just to post my launcher in here and surprise... after i click "post" my very beautifull topic ends up looking worse than a bugged text in notepad.

oh well...this makes the 16-th post i got over 10 days so i should finally be able to stop relying on people to quote my topic so it makes any sense.

[Lucian]

So I need 15 posts damn, I just re created this account so I can get a new name. lols

[Synthesis]

I think you have too be have 15+ posts for 5 days. Many people have been registered for 5+ days and have 15+ posts and can't use BBCode. Just a thought. (I'm one of em) Lolz

BBCode stands for Bulletin Board Code. It is similar to some HTML tags.
