IP Check before being able to make a thread in "Guide Sales"

[RsProd]

Hey Guys, RsProd here with another Suggestion. I'm not sure if this one is practical to impliment, but it's better to suggest it and be shutdown, then not suggest it and never know.

My Suggestion: Impliment a system that won't allow people to post in the "Guide Sales" Section until their IP has been checked by a Mod, or Admin.

This would minimize all the leechers posting leaked guide, or ripped guides.It would also be another addition to stopping scamming, and catching vaders?

Support / Feedback?​

I thought that sythe said he has got a system that stops evaders, trolls & the rest of the idiots from even singing up now? (Correct me if I am wrong)

But If not the there is nothing worse then creating a guide for it just to be leaked buy a NOOB trying to be a moron. Support.

Thanks for the support.

I'm pretty sure they already have a system where you put the account in and it comes up with other accounts under the same name. I don't know for sure I am just guessing their forum does it the same as mine. I think it would take to much time to do this though. It would require a lot of time just for ip checking every single guide salesman. If there was a way to do this with out a mod spending several hours every few days then I would support it.

When someone is due to sign up, the forum compares their IP with other members. (Checking for banned accounts etc.)

While this would be nice to implement, good luck. With the constant flow of guides, mods would be jammed full of IP checking people.

Neutral.

 

Yeah we already have a system which checks IPs when new users sign up, and the mods may perform a useraudit report on any post, to see which users have posted from that IP before, and which other IPs that user has, and which users have posted from those other IPs and so on. (Essentially as the name suggests, an audit.)

All this was implemented about a month ago, on a fast second database as not to create lag.

So, short answer: It's under control. Thanks for the suggestion all the same.

Okay cool, it was just a suggestion perhaps someone has a suggestion to simplify this matter?

Sweet thanks, like above, maybe someone can come up with a simple solution / automatic system?

Alright awsome, good work Sythe.

A mod/admin can now feel free to close this thread as I see this is under control.
