What?! I have literally 1.

This is what happens when you get into business.

Anyway,let's stay on topic shall we?

Sorry I can go off tangent pretty quickly..
So to start off with I think having a 1 account per IP system will keep skids out, unless there are 2 members of the family who want to use SBB and in that case must prove not to be a shitposter.

We do have that system in place. However they're signing up through VPNs. So we'll be blocking them.

Well I've just made myself look pretty dumb lmao, just repeated yourself sorry.
An idea is mods/admins being strict would be good, having a literal 0% shitpost tolerance but obviously will get some hate for that if they let nothing slip so maybe giving out strict warnings just to scare them a little.
Like no stupid punishment just warnings and maybe day bans/mutes.

I agree that Having a strict but respectful moderation team is a good idea.

tbh HF kind of has the right idea although they are very trigger happy. Giving short 24 hour bans as well as a warning quickly makes users realise the rules. It does seem a little harsh but tough love usually works. Smile

I assumed they were creating new accounts through a VPN service. Ah well they are gone now. Issue resolved!

that means I will be staff soon, Yay. I would say most are bots/trolls

I think the admins can cope for the moment, they're always active and can more than deal with the current activity. I think the admins will be okay even if we reach 500 posts per day, so long as members report the rule breaking.

Having more sections for more forums would be nice too
