Don't allow URL's in the title #1
Hello everyone,

So I'm pretty sure everyone that is active here has seen a thread like this pop-up:

Now I've seen tons of these threads and reported them all, but I just thought that it would be easy to just disallow URL's in the title field, since they ALL put a URL in the title field. Now, maybe this could be extended by allowing it for members that are bronze or have > 10 posts or whatever but I think this would greatly lower the burdain on staff and it would keep the forum a little bit more clean.

What are your opinions about this?

I'm all for this.

I keep having to deal with spam on a daily basis, one as recent as an hour ago. Unless I sift through all logs, I couldn't put a figure on the number of bans I've hit.

I can imagine, I see SPAM like this AT LEAST 2 times a day, and you mods already have your hands full with moving threads and checking content... So this should be something that could easily lower the burdain on you guys.

Keyword filtering will also help.

Without going Into specifics, some bots/spam tend to use profane terms that are not usually posted by members of this board.

Yes i agree. Using a pattern to block that kind of spam will be a time saver. Currently Sinisterly is the most clean forum i have ever seen dedicated to digital content, hacking/coding without spamming threads to carding or magic pills.
