ferkhat Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Ok guys, this is Ferkhat from the ModDB. I'm the leader of the group called Command & Conquer Fans. I came to say sorry about the thing happened these days. I posted the news because you guys didnt link it to the group this time. I also didnt know that you have to be registered on the forums to view stuff. Well, the members had done a bad thing, and the Co-Leader( kicked now) tried to be funny and edited it making fun of you. I'm really sorry for this. -Ferkhat Quote
Guest Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 thanks for the apology but.... what you talking about? Quote

Well basicly, there were alot of people saying bad stuff about the forums/mod because they had to register... And stuff didnt turn out good. Finaly, someone deleted the news so the bad stuff would end. Quote
Totem Arts Staff [NE]Fobby[GEN] Posted January 9, 2009 Totem Arts Staff Posted January 9, 2009 They posted the update without the permission of the team, but all they did was post 1 picture and then a link to the forums, so people began complaining on how they had to register and it was a cheap attempt for the team to get people to register. It's not a big deal though, only a few people complained. You're forgiven as long as you make sure it doesn't happen again. Quote
S31Apoc Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 wow some people bitch about anything.. " I got to register OMG you sux" Quote
maty Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Its an honest mistake. Don't worry about it! ^^ As far as I'm aware you can post news to a group without posting it as main news. But I'd check. Quote
=HT=Duro Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 i got a complain like that in another community , i explain that you need to register cause its a way keep track of how popular the mods is, you can count the number of new forum member and know how many ppl are excited about it and they say '' ya.. its true '' Quote
ferkhat Posted January 9, 2009 Author Posted January 9, 2009 Thanks for forgiving me! I will now get permission from you guys and post it with the link to the ModDB.com article. Thanks again. Quote
MightyBOB Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Requiring registration also seems to help keep the spam bots down (the real reason we require it). Quote
epicelite Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 TBH I don't like sites that make you register before you can read their forum posts... Just saying. <_< Quote
a1h Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 all sillyness really, oh well if people don't want to sign up that's there problem we don't have to force them Quote
S31Apoc Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 We use to have bot problems with our forum when we were really active.. There are mods that you can get to keep bots from registering & posting.. We use teh human question & more complex capa.. When i check the spam logs we get a couple hundred attempts to register a week & thats crazy.. I do agree registering is no big deal however.. Quote
epicelite Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 I know one site that stops bots by telling you NOT to enter the garbled text into the box! Have yet to see ONE spam post there! I had to e-mail the admin because it wouldn't let me register... :unsure: Quote
