I keep linking the release threads on Quaddicted, but there's little point to it if only registered users can post in them. In my opinion, it should be allowed to reply in news threads without an account, even if only for the occasional casual/drive-by feedback that would otherwise be lost, and potentially bring back that 1% of activity to the board.
Contrary to previous claims, spam didn't seem like that big of an issue before in that regard.

I disagree. The spam here was unbearable for a while.

At Least Not

much bigger than it was years before, and when it did increase was after access got restricted.

If it was unbearable or not is another topic i won't get into.

I think it's worth linking from Quaddicted anyway. Func has links to discord, and QuakeOne forums, both of which are not usable without an account. It still helps connect different shards of the community.

However, I'm not currently willing to relax the posting restriction. We'd have to have some tech improvements to the board to be worth the experiment. The main problem, I think, is that spam still bumps a thread and still counts as a "new" post on the forum page. This makes it extra frustrating for people using the forum page to see what's new.

I'm confused, it looks like your old account was last logged in today, which means, did you sort it out yourself?

Yes,

It seemed my phone had migrated the account info, so I corrected the munged email and used the forgotten password option.

I haven't received the email but should be able to recover since my phone still remembers whichever password it was.

Thanks for checking.

Didn't receive the email so just changed the password from my phone.

New Account Creation Is Temporarily Disabled

#2472 posted by metlslime on 2023/07/26 10:31:50

due to a huge spike in spam accounts being created, I have disabled new account creation. I'll turn it back on in a while.

It's Been A Few Weeks, So I Turned Account Creation Back On

Hopefully, things don't get bad again.

Spam & Update

#2474 posted by metlslime on 2024/01/09 01:41:59

We just had hundreds of bot spam in the General Abuse and Coding Help threads. I have changed the restrictions, previously anonymous people could post but only in the permanent threads. Now, they can't post anywhere.

Thanks

Happy New Year and thanks for all you do here Metl
