    Exclamation Changes to Philosophy and Debate Posting Requirements!

    The P&D section now requires that you have 100 posts before you can access it.

    This should help combat trollish posts by people creating multiple accounts.

    If you have any questions, let me know.

    Wouldn't it be better to just get rid of the known trolls since they are breaking the rules to begin with?

    I already did that, one of them keeps using proxy servers to register.

    Why do we park in driveways and drive on parkways?

    Good idea Darrell

    only one problem

    now they know what the rules are and if want to still muck it up can just post more in other threads. I would raise it to 500 if it were me. With a qualifier they could request sooner if they are worthy. you can always cut them out if they misbehave

    and why not just give the suspected ones a temp ban. Tell them to reapply in X days if they want to get reinstated. Call it the Frog Prick rule. It is pretty obvious when some are trolling in CD.

    are you able to detect a proxy server?

    I am guessing not

    Gotcha to my Lilypad

    If someone wants to make 100 posts in other areas just to get into P&D, they obviously need a life. LOL The trouble children have already been sniffed out and are being dealt with...this is just additional measures to help out even more.

    Personally I voted for writing a code to make the P&D section implode...Darrell did not back me up on that, however.

    Thanks, but I'd rather slide down a rusty razorblade into a kiddie pool of alcohol. I sometimes wander in by mistake, though.
