Slowing down forum trolls and cowards

[deadly_habit]

I also think 15 posts before you can start a thread is a good idea, works very well on all other forums.

a time period is better usually as people tend to rush through those posts and they lack substance

if there's one thing i've learned on the internet, it's that you can't defeat trolls.

If this happens Im gone man. Im into network security, your suggesting to tun dsf into a mining ground of practice targets for black hat kids with pen. testers.

No.

In my opinion, your best bet would be to enable single usernames per IP.

Its also a simple mod.

like i said why not just start a sticky and name and shame rather than create a security hole?
hell can you post the ips for the spambots too, some of those fuckers are getting into the double digits post wise

The spam bots piss me off too, so Id be more then happy to have a go at paying them back on occasion.

It wouldnt effect your ability to login. It would only matter if you had a static ip address, and then it would just prevent you from using multiple accounts from that IP, not restricting your account to single IP, youve misunderstood me.

Well you guys are just defeating the O.P.'s poll more and more arent you

[DRTY]

Why not just delete people's second accounts?

[ashley]

out to everyone that thinks having your ip address available is a serious threat...really tempted to post mine when i get home...

do it, i dare you.

Ah yea, i see what your saying. That would be sensible, but another issue that arrises is that some people genuinely have two accounts if they own a label or run a night etc.

these would be preventative measures from abuse, it doesn't mean exceptions can't be made.
ie: i have 3 accounts (i think) this one, another artist alias one (which is kind of a placeholder for future use and protective measure from someone else registering it), and DSF Alpaca which i use as a joke over on the production forum. i debated starting a separate one for my label (hell i even may have registered it), but it def becomes more of a clusterfuck than it's worth and confusing to people as to who they are talking to. it's kind of one of those broad policies with loose rules to it that does more good than harm by blanket application, and hey most mods and admins are only a pm/email away, so case by case basis isn't so hard. it may be a bit slower and a bit added workload, but the benefit is def there.

you don't need to release the ip. just have a feature that shows other accounts the user has accessed from the same ip. phpbb records ip addresses by default so all it takes is a simple query.

SELECT username FROM phpbb_users WHERE user_ip = (SELECT user_ip FROM phpbb_users WHERE username = 'ryan_p');

I suggested it on page one, pkay suggested it again on page 3, Think this is the way to go.

Please learn2sql.

Don't use a sub select when you can join.
