Spam and ReminderOkay so before i announce the minor coding update i would like to issue a friendly reminder.
Though we want a fun semi-carefree environment here at LE it is still crucial to uphold the terms and conditions of the site which you agreed to when joining. In addition we do expect quality posts. Two sentences are ideal but less is acceptable. however an entire post consisting of a single emoticon is not.
Now for the update.
guest posting has been eliminated.

As unfortunate as this update is, I do suppose it is for the good of the forum as a whole. Before when there was nobody banned, all we received was the occasional spam bot which were actually rather comical at times. However, times have changed and I can understand why guest posting has to be suspended, hopefully only temporarily though.

It may be in the terms and Conditions,. but another thing is to not insult the people badly, or show yourself to be a jerk within a small number of posts. You can become the forum jerk over time, but even then it is a limited amount of insults and whatnot you can do. I think an unwritten rule to any forum is also to not make fun of/ anger the admins. That never goes well... AS for the guest posts stopping, I think that was a good idea, it will help eliminate the spammers as Archaic said.

quick question that kind of goes with this topic. when you ban someone, do you ban just that account or the IP as whole?
as for the spamming, I just came to terms with the spam bots. Didnt like them and still dont, but was starting to accept them. Its too bad. You guys liked them a bit.

The account gets band, not ip. The IP can be changed too easily for it to do any good. My IP for LE has been changed at least 20 times or so...
