On Required Registrations
      2001/02/25 07:51 PM
     

I know this may seem like the weekend of unpopular decisions, but starting a week from now, it will be necessary to be registered here at the Slipstream BBS if you want to start a new thread. It will still be possible (for the time being) to post replies in threads if you haven't registered, but to post new topics you will need to register.

The reason we decided this was so we could more effectively work against spammers/trolls/etc.

In addition, we'll soon be instituting a rule against double usernames, the reason being that with single usernames it is more easy to keep track for us of who-is-who, and also so the system isn't bogged down by having too many member files to plough through. At the Trek BBS, we've had a lot of bad experiences with people registering multiple usernames, and as this BBS is rapidly growing very large as well we unfortunately have to take this action.

And finally, we'll be accepting new registrations again starting tomorrow.

Who says Vedran's the last thing you can reach ?

But yeah - if done in moderation, we will allow people to change usernames. (The 'in moderation' part being in there because it does actually require quite some time of us admins, so we'd prefer this only happening if there's a really good reason)

Christian, hi, just wanted to add my support. The unregistered user posting restrictions is a very good idea.

Thank you Christian, it is so refreshing knowing trolls will have a hard time bothering us now!

And please let there be life after Vedran...and let it be some form of Nietzschean... (Well I had to try! )

Excellent idea Christian. There have been some very annoying threads started by drones

BTW, past Vedran it probably goes:

AIE, then
Purple Pixie

Nothing can be better than that
