Drive by trolling is a huge problem every site I have ran. It is a big step in the right direction. I do like the idea of a time limit also but a 50 post limit is pretty large. If someone is posting fast enough to be able to join in the basement section forum then it is obvious it is happening and we can react accordingly. Sock puppets are easy to identify this way. Many pluses but also a few minuses.

Unless they discover the "post count" game. Then it takes about 90 seconds to get to 50 posts.

The post padding thread should be off limits too. The minimum posts should be made in the main forums. Someone would actually have to participate with the sites intended purpose. I too have been on forums as Lucky has described. Some forums even require moderator approval for your first 10 posts before you can post at will.

How about 7 days? I can not do posts 'and' duration after joining. I can do one or the other. If someone wants to spam then they probably want to do that immediately -- 7 day seems like a long wait and probably around what it may take someone to get 50 posts.

It's a good idea when the problems are being caused by trolls or newbies. Some forums lend themselves to that type of behavior. I'm just not sure that's the main issue here. Most of the posts I've seen removed lately are not new posters. Except Kip I guess, who was an old poster with a new account.

Definitely the game section is off limits until they have proven themselves. I am on a site now where I have made it invitation only to go into off topic section. I have a of limited thread or two where people can post after 25 posts and if they seem level headed we allow them into the dark side and open dialogue. It was either that or I had to shut down off topics completely.

Should be easy to track.

It is easy to track. I don't think the drive by trolls expect to have site access forever. Can it be tracked fast enough to stop them from accomplishing what they set out to do?

Do you think 7 days after joining is enough of a wait? I'd like to hear the rest of the groups thoughts on a time limit. Many who have joined and immediately and only posted in CE were trolls or sock puppets.

That is fine. You are right that people that spam or even troll are not going to usually wait to do so. I have had problems when a time limit that you might see though. People that spam or troll will make accounts and let them sit and come back when the time is up. These type (Spammers) usually target huge amount of sites and can afford to let bots sit and wait till their alloted time is up to go to work. A site this large now it may be hard to see this happening.

I think that Kip should be given a special exemption. He wasn't trying to cause trouble this time around. He was just being himself. He lives in the rugged wilderness and he's not a city person, so he has a different vocabulary. You can't fault a man for that, We all have different roots. He is the most entertaining member this forum has had in the 6 years I've been here.

I agree. They are unlikely to wait around, unless it's someone specifically targeting this site (like a former member).

I'd be willing to bet dollars to donuts that there are more than a few sleeper cells here.

He is not wanted on this site he was told by the SITE.

Every site gets them. Been awhile but have been proposed to by some lonely babe that wants me because I am handsome on this site.

Well anyway. Y'all figure it out. I am pretty much out of here. The bias of certain mods have made the site unpalatable to me. I have never seen a site survive that had this kind of bias from mods but maybe this site will be the first to do so. I plan on popping into the VN section sometimes.
