Brady_The Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 What antispam measures or addons is this forum running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyron Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 It was using the invisible reCaptcha, i now changed it to reCaptcha v2. Lets see if that helps. It might not be automated bots but actual humans creating these accounts, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The accounts may be made by human but posts are probably run by script. Is it possible to require solving captcha to add new post? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irulana Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 It doesn't make sens for it that only ones who bought the game can post in forums. It should be open for everyone who owns the game. I bought game for Laskuna and few other. I think everyone who owns the game and play it should have right to post in forums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if it wasn't clear in the first post: I meant account in game = account with ability to post and some antibot measures for others to add new posts (for example recaptcha or simple eqation to solve as .jpg) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeetiee Posted April 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 I think it would be a good compromise for everybody and will significantly help with stopping those spammers. The question is if it can be implemented... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyagelle Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 Just make 1 section open to non-buyers, being that about the general game or the questions section. That way, people who have questions can still post and any spam that comes through, will be contained to 1 section. Best of both worlds. You can also implement posting CAPCHAs. This does a lot to combat spam, as most advertising bots can't get through the complicated CAPCHAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady_The Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 I'd say, that currently 100% of spam would be caught, if you'd just put the term "abortion pill" into a blacklist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfinn Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Now it's "abortion". Which is probably a safe one. Not many mods about that... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DX65 Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 I got more spam by same dude, now he calls himself a Dr. I reported 2 but its now in every thread multiple times. I thought the forum was blocked from unregistered subscribers, is are new spammer subscribers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so want to make a joke about mod that has herbal treatments for bigger "tools" but I am not going. I don't find having headache amusing rpg but for those who want to be tormented I love to have them complain about mod that spins the room and makes half the screen have strobelight effect to represent a severe headache. oops editing too much.

To me it'd be cool if we sometimes had nausea or something like that, that could be cured by waiting or curing with some plant. Of course it would be optional, but since potions is coming sometime next millenia it's not impossible in my view.

Michaloid Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 Mc nausea isn't really good. I'm talking like the screen blurs a little and moves sideways like the effect of low health where the screen moves a little and it affects on the small things like accuracy and managing chests.

How could someone make anything but basic, uninformed question posts without having played the game? I can understand having a sub-section for folks who are on the fence about buying and want to see if this game is their jam or not but, otherwise, it doesn't make sense for non-buyers to discuss. How would they know anything about the game? There are certainly bot-prevention options if that's the goal, but just making the forum a "Buy it for privileges, lose those if you spam" space seems totally reasonable.

Michaloid Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Anyone can use the discord. So it's not totally not a huge loss for the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l33tmaan Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) Those are both horrible ways to look at it. Discord is a third party site and paid forums are the worst. Figure out another solution, telling people to go to DISCORD makes me legitimately upset. So many gaming communities are rotting away on there. Don't shut down this forum and do the same thing here. In fact, if Discord was the only place to discuss this game I straight up probably would never have bought it at all, out of disgust.

This is also completely insane. People watch youtube videos. People pirate it. People talk about it and post screenshots and videos and all these things that people who have not paid for the game can see and get interested in. Seriously?

Yeetiee Posted April 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Maybe paid forums are the worst for you but for me spammers are parasites who should be eradicated from forums by any means necessary. If it means closing the forum permanently for people who dont own the game - so be it. If it could be done with antispam measures implemented for non-owners only like captcha to add new posts - fine by me. I'm just sick of abortion and - cthulhu forbid - penis enlargement pills garbage and I would like it to be gone from this forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
