NOTICE BOARD

HELLO MY LOVELY MEMBERS! ♥

I don't know if any of you have noticed, but lately there have been some..let's say strange topics emerging around the forum. Those threads are totally UNESSARILY AND UNRELATED to the purpose of this forum =_=;;

So, what is the problem exactly?
The 'members' who create these kind of threads are called spambots.

I can't guaratee a 100% termination of spambots from this forum, but hopefully this method will reduce the amount we've been getting. I will be making a new group that members who have just registered or have below 2 posts will fall into.

This will definitely affect newly registered newbies with 0 posts or have below 2 posts because they can only read and reply to threads. They will be restricted from the following:

× Cannot edit own profile into
× Cannot use PM system
× Cannot post/start new topics
× Cannot start new polls

They will only be allowed to view and reply to subforums of the START UP and FAN CAFE forums until they gain 2 posts, then they will be promoted from the "Anonymous" group into the "Newbie" group. Then, they will be able to start topics but they won't be able to view the multimedia or picture forum until they reach:

5 posts to view "The Digicam" the picture forum.
10 posts to view "The iPod" the multimedia forum.

I hope that came through clear =]. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
