I think it might be time to block anyone but fully registered members from posting but not browsing. What do you think? The main benefit would be less spam but it might become harder for people to take part if the can’t receive our registration emails for whatever reason…

And I don’t mean me, but someone who might have the time.
May 12, 2009 at 8:04 am #1199123sounds like a good idea to me.
May 12, 2009 at 9:30 am #1199120its a good idea but I would agree with what Angel said. At least two real life friends of mine have had problems confirming their email, and it would be a real shame if they couldn’t use this site because of it…

I don’t get mails from Partyvibe on my hotmail account even if it’s set on the allowed list.
Hotmail sucks :annoyed:
May 12, 2009 at 1:45 pm #1199130only if we have a foolproof system of activating e-mails
which would need enabling others to do it, either existing mods of volunteers?
May 12, 2009 at 1:49 pm #1199124i dont mind doing it, whether id be able to do it on my work comp is another matter tho..
May 12, 2009 at 3:32 pm #1199159fyi ive been trying to IM you djprocess, but it keeps hanging.. you got any messages from me in the last couple of days?
May 12, 2009 at 7:29 pm #1199145im not sure =/
May 13, 2009 at 5:56 am #1199128You already have to be a fully registered member to download music, and most of them can work it out without bigger problems.
It will make the list of spammers a lot smaller, because they can’t be arsed to go to the procedures of finishing the registration.
We get a lot of spam, it just get deleted before most members realise it’s there, but it’s a pain in the *rse and I think both Mods and Admin could use their time on something better.
So I still say make 1 or 2 mods able to do it, I know it can be a risk letting people into your ACP (admin control panel) but it can be done so they only can use that function.
But… I would think twice about letting people into my ACP too, so it’s really not an easy descision for Admin.May 13, 2009 at 11:45 am #1199141i say yes but mby you could put some kinda warning on the registration page that explains the emails may go to the spam folder .. allso you could have just one section they can post in … say an “unregisterd help” forum section .. or something like the introductions section incase any issues arise?
May 13, 2009 at 8:25 pm #1199122i don’t see a lot of spam making it through but if you are spending a lot of time fighting it, registration is probably the easiest way to cut down.
if you want any help in getting emails through to odd networks, i’d be glad to help on the mail setup side. been doing email setups for a few years now – http://w2.eff.org/Net_culture/Net_info/Misc/mail_methods
May 14, 2009 at 8:56 am #1199125there is shit loads of spam. gets trashed quite quick tho..
May 17, 2009 at 11:42 pm #1199121Maybe the introductions forum could be available to all so anyone having trouble getting the confirmation email can post in there and tell us.

May 20, 2009 at 6:55 am #1199116I put some changes in place before the weekend which I won’t go into and seem to be making a difference. So let’s see how things go over the next couple of weeks. Everyone’s feedback is appreciated though, thanks all!

I haven’t thought to try the others.
