Suggestion regarding spam attacks

[Rubix]

I'd like to suggest a little system in which I think will enable us to be prevented from people spamming us with IPs telling them to go onto their servers like yesterday.
I reckon we should make it so that people on the forums (excluding trial admins+) should only be allowed to make one topic every 2 or so minutes.
This enables us to see a spam attack easily and address the situation instead of suffering and having to clean up after spam attacks.
Of course what I say can be edited to the forums suiting, but I think its a good step forward.
Alternatively, we could base topic making over posts. If you have a certain amount of posts E.G: 75, you are allowed to post as much as you want.
This prevents again spammers creating accounts and spamming the forums.
Came up with this whilst in bed last night and I don't know if its been suggested before, but I think with the right tweaking that this should be a good addition for preventing spam attacks.

This is what we should bring back: http://www.ambrosia-servers.com/community/index.php?topic=7490.0

I agree.
Wasn't sure if there was a topic similar to this and since i've only been here since December, I hadn't seen that.
I think that should be brought back as Konvict has stated.

To be honest I didn't understand you Rubix :/..

You start with saying about people spamming with IPs to check servers, and it ends with people who have more posts to post as much as they want, so to avoid spammers and multi accounts.. I don't see the connection between these 2,3, or they are all separated suggestions ? :S

What rubix means and what some might missed lately we are having massive advertising/spam attacks by some bots.
To avoid this we might have 2 types of protection.
One is a topic each 2 minutes.
The other one is a moderating status till 75 post so every post can be checked from new players.

Supporting your ideas pubix.

After this brief explain, I also support this idea. Thy Todo.

And I think it should be better with the moderatins status till 75 posts.

The first one is not good, because for example yesterday in 1 minutes I replied and made +2 topics which where vital, so..


Other opinions?

I don't think i agree with 75 posts for moderation. I don't see any huge issue with new members and spam, tbh it's not enough to make me think we should add this, would take ages to moderate all the posts of new members + simply not needed. No support for that.

Also no support for the 2 minute gap, i just don't think it is needed, not like we are getting frequent bot attacks.

Both of these suggestions are putting more and more limits on the non ranked members, which if you think psychologically enough.. Will lead to more issues relating to emotions and interpretations.

Forums are fine as they are, don't ruin it.

High staff, need your voices here as always

You can reject this as something has been put in place again.
Thanks though
