RoomScape Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 It's really quite annoying and although I do know that this is in an attempt to stop scammers, it's really bothersome. Can't you make it so that certain people can't post threads? Once you pass a certain join date requirement and/or post requirements. Say, a month online or 50/100 posts needs mod approval before thread submission, otherwise it's approved immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTariq Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 This sounds like a decent idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BartonsVodka Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I would say you need more requirement that a simple post count. People could just spam post and not accomplish any sort of good doing. Maybe you must hold a certain percentage of feedback or get a certain number. Who knows though, it'd be tough to get feedback if you can't post on the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoomScape Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Forums will be like an online jail cell. The market will, anyway. They're going about this to prevent scammers, but it won't matter. Scammers will find ways to scam and you doing this will only make them come up with more clever ways of scamming, just like how RS stops botting and people come up with smarter ways to bot.

People put too much respect into fb when ti doesn't necessarily mean all that much, though. I guess it could be used in this manner, but fb just doesn't mean as much as everyone makes it out to be.

Scammers can't be summed down once they join, so changing the requirements isn't going to ensure they're safety. All I can say is that you use some common sense and you won't find yourself in that predicament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will trust a scammer before they trust a legit person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Maldesto Posted February 26, 2014 Administrator Share Posted February 26, 2014 If we stop one scammer from scamming someone we are happy. If people can't wait a few minutes to an hour then that is on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a sponsor with over 100 fb will have to wait for their thread to be approved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolmanden Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I disagree with the idea of having to be approved upon a thread creation to every member. Scammers are scammers if they get 100 post it won't help, It will just make legit members and moderators harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoomScape Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 What about after x amount of fb, threads no longer have to be moderated? If that's a possible choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
