jgb Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Seems to be a rash of new accounts starting tons of low-value new threads. Many forums require a minimum post count in order to start a thread. I know this can have the reverse incentive for new accounts to spam posts to hit the requirement amount quickly. Maybe instead do an account age restriction? 2 weeks before starting a new thread? Most trolls are looking for a quick release, they rarely play the long game. Just a thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETSY14 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Unfortunately there are too many sensitive people on this site. If you don't like something ignore it. If you don't like a thread name don't click on it. Very simple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that makes me "too sensitive." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-STH Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 As a new register, I agree. I think fans look to others online for solidarity (or solace as it were). Hard to find that if you can’t really voice what you’re thinking on your own (I.e. dependent on glomming on to someone else’s post). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can honestly say I’ve never seen anyone more triggered over something as mundane as this. Will give you the last word since clearly you’re way more invested in this than I am.

So we had a new member that caused a bunch of problems on game day last week. I was able to find the feature we used to use. The NFL forum has been changed so it now requires 25 posts before you can start a new thread. Feedback forum and all the others are the same (0). But this will solve the game day problem with fans of other teams spamming. Open to feedback on this but the 25 post minimum should be in place now. Thanks.

The only option we have is to prevent people with less than 25 posts to not post in a certain forum. So I accidently disabled that for the Jets forum. I don't have a thread only option. I am talking to the mods now, I think we are going to change something on the registration side that will slow down the flood of these spam accounts. Thanks.
