Registration is disabled? - General

Maybe you'd have to be invited and be a well known Garry's Mod, GFX, or something person? I personally think this would help because: 1. This would completely remove spambots, noob posters, and/or trolls. 2. We could get a lot more famous people on here. 3. Better people = possible upgrades (Should be kinda like donations, and donations get you upgrades, like a server) You'll never know what a non-gold member/never poster can do. I think I'll try posting more on this site.

Meh, just a random idea at the time. I'll try to come up with something else.

[QUOTE=garry;39630212]Registration has been closed for about a week. I don't think we need any new members right now.[/QUOTE] Is that why opened the suicide thread so you can get rid of excess users?

Did the URL change for anyone else? My bookmarks stopped working. All images for ratings are also gone now.

I don't understand what smartness system is but by what peopl say here it's like a dictatorship or something

[QUOTE=IPK;39679641]I don't understand what smartness system is but by what peopl say here it's like a dictatorship or something[/QUOTE] Imagine spellcheck in word, except you lose points for every error. Good posts and threads get you positive points, but bad grammar negates it. Too much in one post can get you instabanned, and so can too few smartness points

AKA freshly registered shitposters.

[QUOTE=Tentacle;39676735]Bizarre ban phrases like "to the bunker" were brilliant, caught a few people out by getting them to carry on a sentence about golf once[/QUOTE] I remember talking about something being closed due to something. Even worse was that I knew it was a ban phrase and it never even occurred to me that I actually used it

[QUOTE=sam6420;39686026]We just need a few mods to go on banning sprees, we'll be set after that.[/QUOTE] Or just delete the accounts of people who haven't been on here since a year, that will clean facepunchs DB. And for the people who keep re-registering a system should be added that makes a mod need to confirm their first 10 posts before they are on a thread.

The second thing I mean, the first one could be done, I guess.

quarantine fast threads it is like a necromorph infection destroy it before it is too late

[QUOTE=NomadicNinja;39689428]quarantine fast threads it is like a necromorph infection destroy it before it is too late[/QUOTE] C-c-c-CATGIRLS!

[QUOTE=NomadicNinja;39689428]quarantine fast threads it is like a necromorph infection destroy it before it is too late[/QUOTE] There are a couple of topics that are pretty good. (hotgirls thread)

Some people have 07 accounts they'd rather not have deleted for the sake of "cleaning facepunch." This is not the cleansing Facepunch needs.

Deleting accounts is a bit of an issue though, as you'd have people register with names that were previously used.

[QUOTE=CAPSMAN!;39693288]Why should we care about keeping people's alts? Their only purpose is ban evasion.

This account is from when I rediscovered it a while later, having forgotten I already had an account. I'd just rather it wasn't deleted.

account gets deleted posts go with it or contact with op goes with it that is a bit shit

This might have been asked already, but wouldn't Captcha get rid of spambots?

[QUOTE=Dogchow33;39693690]This might have been asked already, but wouldn't Captcha get rid of spambots?[/QUOTE] Seemed to me that spambots weren't a huge problem to begin with.

captchas are easily beaten i remember i had like 300 accounts to confirm on a forum i'd left to rot.

They should move the "don't post on this thread" thread to Fast Thread. It would be a magnet for idiots

[QUOTE=TheCreepyPryo;39694914]They should move the "don't post on this thread" thread to Fast Thread. It would be a magnet for idiots[/QUOTE] this is the best thing to come out of this thread so far

Sticky don't post in here thread, make it so newcomers can only post in it for 24 hours. Or something like that. :v:

Charge 10bux for alts, and ban registration from proxy servers. And list all of the alts that people use on their accounts

Is registration open again or something? There seems to be bits of registration activities throughout the days: [url]http://facepunch.com/fp_events.php?type=join[/url]

They would be people who just now confirmed their email address.
