Is it possible to have time intervals between posts? You need to wait for a minute or more before posting something again. It could be a good way to prevent spam. Besides that, users need to be at least a few days old before able to create a new thread, would be a good way to prevent idiots from creating a new account and start putting The Darkness 2D links in new threads and posts.

But it's already implemented, eh.

Only in File Archive?

Anyways,if it works in Forum Section too - it is too small. 60 seconds isn't enough...

This idea is really awesome. At least 7 days. Maybe more.

also - hackers like Darkness2D developer(Laurence) wouldn't spam so much.

It was I and Mafia_Man. No kid Laurence involved. Also this has been solved, no need to bring it up.

One thread a day is more than enough, but I would say two files a day or maybe three. You never know if someone good is busy the whole day. Plus DC wouldn't get spammed by people that want to upload more. - In fact this could be another bonus for the Super User to upload more files.

This forum already has faaar more protections than most other forums. Threads per day and files per day are already limited. Also there are spam protections which don't allow you to create many posts/threads/comments in a short timeframe. You really don't have to suggest stuff related to that.

You actually already have to have access to (or hijack) MULTIPLE accounts (which are not new ones) in order to spam A BIT. Otherwise your attempt to spam will simply fail horribly. And even with multiple accounts it's quite easy for moderators and me to track and remove all the spam. No matter where it has been posted. So spamming here is just a waste of time. It never takes long until the spam is removed and all caused damage is undone. (of course it's still annoying because it's wasted time for us as well)

So there is no real reason to limit the threads per day or files per day even more. It would restrict good users too much and it wouldn't be a significant improvement for spam protection.

It's a search function powered by Google which only searches unrealsoftware.de and it works pretty damn well. It's so much more reliable than stupid tags that most users wouldn't use correctly anyway.

Also this 1+4 is to block bots accounts not real people.
People can make bots that register in this site 100 times automatically so when this question changes everytime you open the registration page bots can't register.

Well hey, the question could be 'Express e to the power of i times phi in trigonometric functions', but all people should be admitted entry. Who knows how they really are. If they prove to be idiots they should be expunged, but people shouldn't be scared off.

So it shouldn't be like "425^9997*3.14"?

We probably need a better 'kid detector' than that. I think the website should detect IP of the one trying to register so if it is already in use, if wouldn't allow him to register.
