I say why not delete all users that don't come here, but keep those other names perma'd.

Like, it's a pretty cool idea to me.

That's kind of extremely stupid destroyer, because then those people that are obsessed with making levels will go insane and start reregging and then actually coming on here, but only to flame us. Then, the member level would be really cut down due to all the SM63-maniacs that DIDN'T come for revenge, and then they'd have to be banned/deleted again, and then they'll just get tired of reregistering. Some people probably won't mind the deletion, because they can still just stay and roam the LDP, but eventually they'll get mad because there's not enough new levels to play, so they have to go back through the portal and look for some levels that they haven't played. Eventually, they'll get tired of that and either quit or rereg and/or flame us for deleting their account.
This is a bad thing. :3

He means a vicious circle of bans and reregs will happen until everyone drops out of the circle.

Who thinks there should be a way to prevent spammers.


My suggestion is someone isn't allowed to view the forums until the mods are sure they are notified via PM that they have permission to visit the forums and they aren't a spammer...

But a side effect: what about people without accounts... :facepalm:

WHO'S WITH ME!?
Here's some stuff about me, condensed into a spoiler!: show
Hi. I do level reviews and sometimes I might even draw something. Sometimes I might make a level. Sometimes I might make a level with Nan. But I prefer to pretend the old levels I made when I was like... 15 don't exist. Sometimes I even cook! Sometimes I even cook lobsters. Sometimes, people like the lobsters. Sometimes, I ride horses! 100% of the time, I get paid for helping people ride horses! That's what a job is.

LUGGY'S SUPER AMAZING FAQ!!!!!1
What are you doing right now?: show
Doing a level collab with Nan. And also, a super-secret-exciting project. You'll know what it is when it happens.
Who are you?: show
Hi. I do level reviews and sometimes I might even draw something. Sometimes I might make a l- *shot*
No, seriously, who are you?: show
Luigi Fan 64. I just realized when I stopped being a pubescent sack of malaria that that username is the most generic thing since that chair you're sitting in right now.
Why are you so socially awkward?: show
Well, I'm mildly autistic. No, seriously. It's usually not a problem, though.
Why are you acting like we care about this FAQ?: show
Well, you're the person who didn't scroll down to the next post. So clearly, you care at least a little.

Thanks for not immediately scrolling off. Even though I guess I didn't do much to alter your life in this sig. Meh.

Eh, no. There are people that don't even use the level portal, which would be the only way of verifying the trustworthiness of the person wanting to be on the forums.

And on top of that, people would like to have a look at the forums without an account, so they can verify whether or not they have opinions worthy of the site.

Makes sense, but what about the welcome topic? You have to go to the welcome topic and post there and be counted as not a spammer... :?

Which I never did! :awe: (And I won't. It's too late for me.)

We've had a lot of suggestions to get rid of the spammers, but nothing worked. I think the whole ''approving posts to avoid spammer posts'' thing is enough.
