Msg# 7369

Spam at the FAQ Boards Posted by aure\_enteluva August 16, 2006 - 11:03:24 Topic ID# 7369
Hey guys,

One last message from me, and then I'm heading out for a bit. :-)

I've noticed that some people are spamming our FAQ boards. As you may
know, I post all of the FAQs using a message board at
http://www.mefawards.net/FAQ/ . Up until recently I hadn't bothered to
restrict access to it. But some people not affiliated with groups were
making posts of just links to other, commercial sites. What I read of
these was not offensive but it was certainly bothersome. And not what
those boards were set up for.

So, from now on, only members of those boards will be able to start a
new topic. You can still reply to any existing thread as a guest if a
FAQ isn't clear. But hopefully this will discourage the spammers.

Signing up as a member of these messageboards is completely optional.
Doing so lets new posts be labelled as such, and some people find that
helpful. If you do sign up, this bulletin board is completely
different from what you use to log in to the voting website at
http://www.mefawards.net/MEFA2006/ . Your name and password can be the
same if you like, but changing it at one won't affect the other.

I will continue to delete spam as I see it over there.

Marta
