: For those of you new to the Story Forum, don't worry, I'm not talking about
: shutting the forum down. There has been a discussion off and on for quite
: some time about whether or not the forum should remain open. The people
: who maintain it are pretty adamant that it remain completely open, so
: anyone can post, but the level of spamming is reaching the rediculous.
: Active threads are getting bumped down and off the main screen just
: because of the proliferations of the "test" posts.
: My question is this - why not require registration to make a post. It's not
: like you have to provide a legitimate e-mail address or anything, but the
: act of registration would preclude an automated assault on the forum by
: the likes of Mr. "test-ignore". I vote in favor of closure -
: Durandal might try to escape it, but it's really inevitable.
It seem that we have no choices but to close it, and you know what it will do
to our community. I'm already thinking of uploading Sigma ( once it's done )
on a different place ( download.com or fileball ) the current spam flood is making me sick.
Seem like whoever is doing this spam won, after all.
Good job, mister "test, ignore" you destroyed this fantastic forum.
I'm out.
