Why the hell are new users without any posts at all allowed to make threads outside of the Rust and the Garrysmod subforums? Limiting that could filter out most of the spambot threads. That said, good luck with keeping the Rust forum from becoming a mess, seems like its worse than when Garry's Mod were on its peak.
get garry to blacklist servers that spam the forums?
[QUOTE=A_Pigeon;43441055]get garry to blacklist servers that spam the forums?[/QUOTE] where's the fun in that?
[QUOTE=O Cheerios O;43441043]Why the hell are new users without any posts at all allowed to make threads outside of the Rust and the Garrysmod subforums?

Unless you've got a specific holding tank for all new users and keep it [I]constantly[/I] supervised, that's not a solution. The Rust and Gmod subforums would go from mostly shit to unretrievable shit. Might as well just turn off reg.
postal 4 admin!
We should all make a present for him for being the hero the rust forum fucking deserves.
He pulled the video off of his youtube, and the one asking for a rust key.

I dunno Postal. Why not take a break for about a couple hours and see where the Rust forum will end up? it might be fun
Annnnnd FINISHED. The servers subforum has been flushed. [QUOTE=Gwoodman;43440881]I think there should be an option to donate a mouse and keyboard to Postal, all that clicking must ruin them.[/QUOTE] oddly enough my mouse i've had for ages actually died 2 days ago lol. the mouse wheel was already broken but the clicking and the laser part both just suddenly broke at once. i can only assume it was an act of desperation to avoid moderating the rust forum any further. GOOD THING I KEEP A SPARE.
Whoever posted [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1344143"]this[/URL] is a god.
[QUOTE=Haskell;43441208]He pulled the video off of his youtube, and the one asking for a rust key.[/QUOTE] aha i knew he'd backpedal eventually. So much for wanting us to watch his video and make him ~RICH~

Or probably a mix of one of the two former and the latter. AKA absolutely nothing of value will be lost.
Ok I think this is one of the better things the Rust forum has shown me [video=youtube;s97_TFLYVYU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s97_TFLYVYU#t=22[/video]
[QUOTE=J!NX;43439777] all the mods should just "Let it go" for one week[/QUOTE] This is actually a good idea. Put a notice at the top of the Rust subforum stating that there will be no moderation in the subforum for a week. The place will turn into a shithole. Maybe that will help some of them will realize that the moderators are actually helping by being as strict as they are?

I'm checking them all for alts now. Not surprisingly I've found 4 instances so far where they used an alt to compliment themselves for having such a great server...

[QUOTE=Tetsmega;43388140]It should be like one of those "days since last accident" counters, except it should say "hours since Postal's last rust ban"[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Diago21;43388236]Took the liberty of mocking up a design for said Ban Counter.. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/mPp9Bwd.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Prototype is up: [url]http://cushie.net/counter/postal.php[/url] only problem is i suck at web design so will have to make do with what i can. only thing is there is no reliable way to tell what section the ban was in so you will just have to believeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Somewhere in the Rust Servers subforum, a thread that is just the server owner and his sockpuppet alts talking about how awesome his shitty server is waits for postal to find it. It is the promised land. guide us lord postal

[QUOTE=Mr. Zombie;43443034]Shouldn't it be going up?[/QUOTE] Going up fine for me, make sure you don't have Javascript disabled or something.

[QUOTE=Megaman1811;43443245]Why is it counting down from 5 hours and not counting up?[/QUOTE] Fatal flaw in my plan, I forgot to account for the fact that not everyone is on GMT. Just need to make a few modifications to the counter then I can throw it back up. Rejiggered, back up.
one of the (MANY) brazilians in the rust forum has a great solution to the hacking problem: [QUOTE=renanpk;43442248]I think they should ban the steam, delete all purchased games, and have fuck who uses hack. sorry[/QUOTE] thanks mr brazilian Also I still don't understand how this happened: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1341416[/url]
[QUOTE=Cushie;43442967]Prototype is up: [url]http://ericweb.gtxhosting.co.uk/counter/postal.php[/url] Accurate to ~1 minute (Will be once the next ban occurs after this post) Potential features: - Domain name - Auto-update on ban - Music/Sound effects - Analytics - Better looking Only problem is I suck at web design so will have to make do with what I can.[/QUOTE] We're doing this baby.
