with the recent spam attacks with new accounts being registered and quickly spamming all over the forum (in particular the blog section, but it happens outside too), a flood check needs to be implemented for new users. that is, when a new user makes a post, a new post can't be created for a certain amount of time like 30 seconds or 60 or something.

I think this would really slow down spammers before they can spread to multiple posts quickly, and legitimate new users most likely wouldn't post that many posts fast enough to activate the check.

apologies if this is already in place, I'm not aware of anything like that right now.

I highly doubt Nintendo would hire a troll, especially one that posts gore. It's just some butthurt kid.

They could, instead, do what I do! Which is... well, is nothing most of the time. But that's better than spamming, right?
I'd wish they did nothing. The spam is getting worse each time. How messed up do you have to be to think that's okay? Not to mention, what the hell happened to this kid to start spamming like that?

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM

  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
