Attention (warning!) newly registered users!!

Post by fl00d3d »

TGN/TsuGaming (we) are currently in the process of tightening our security in an effort to reduce spam on the website.

One of the things we do is regularly prune (remove) users who have registered over 24 hours ago and never made a post.

So, if you're new and haven't posted please consider making at least one post (might I suggest posting HERE as your first post?). That way your account won't accidentally be removed as part of this anti-spam process.

If you ever have your account removed by accident or have problems with registration, please email the Admin - or make a post in the Spam Test forum explaining your problem.

Thanks!

I actually looked at your account and it seemed legit. So I wouldn't have removed it anyway. Some of them are hard to tell, though. You're safe!

I look at 90% of them in detail. To see if they look fake.

If you have people registered for LoL and I'm deleting their accounts, (1) first of all: I apologize (2) try to get them to make an introduction post as soon as they register. That way they're protected from my cleanup. :P

Nope. Well, not exactly. The Captcha methods were broken entirely before and now they're working. But since Captcha was broken awhile ago it's really not that effective anyway. I thought it would be more effective but it really wasn't. Not even Re-Captcha was working. Right now we're using a challenge key/question which seems to be working.

Good thing that is usually the first thing I do when I get access to forum boards is post on them. I kinda thought that posting was the point.

Sometimes people register so they can snoop around but never post.
