A rant for all AFers

[TexasF355F1]

I, as well as everyone else around here are sick and tired of all of these worthless internet geeks that have nothing better to do than join our community and start talking about discusting topics and flamming out the ass. Then they get banned and rejoin and rejoin and rejoin. All you fuck nuts need to grow up and get a life!

By the way, is there anyway we can deal with them like ban their ip from logging on to the site? We should all work together to figure out a way to reduce the amount of trash that join the forums.

Ip banning this fuck that we all know about was discussed but I think that Igor is the only one that has the ability to do that

[CarSuperfreak]

the only other way to go around this is to have a joining process; you propose a username, name, and and some other info, then you have to wait for approval from a mod (who could also check IP address)

or email verification again...

yea, that woud be too much work for some of the lazy people

Already beat you to it. http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=247863

who cares about the extra work, if it would keep the tards out of here, I say go for it

I like the IP thing, one ID per IP, and if someone gets banned, the IP gets banned, so they cant get back on. Or maybe a combination IP and Email Verification, if one or both matches one in a database of banned users, then they are not accepted.

Sorry,but people are joining AF at a rate of 300+ every day.That's a hell of a lot of extra work for volunteer moderators to deal with [we do actually like some time to make posts of our own,eh?].

99% of them are genuine automotive enthusiasts,the 2 or 3 idiots that make it in every day are quickly found and removed.Igor has deciced not to use IP banning because we have such a large number of enthusiasts posting from shared locations[i.e. college computers,etc]it would be unfair to genuine users if they couldn't log on to AF because some idiot used that particular IP to start a flame war in 2001....

^hmm....I like his point, I'll shutup now.

Seems like a lot of the 'tards lately are part of the US military and using their computers. The USMC is blocking AF from many of the computer systems.

I'm still left wondering how some of these people make it through boot camp without being classified as Section 8's.
