My Lion King Forum

Seems spam advertising bots are now creating topics to promote their stuff... Would explain why they appear in OT links mostly. So how about, new members must make X amount of posts before they can make new threads? Like 5? Just enough to stop dummy accounts from making threads but not enough to discourage legitimate new members.

You're not supposed to be able to see the spammers. Their posts should need to be approved, first, before they are visible to normal members. How you even found that little thing that you saw is beyond me.

Regardless, I don't think that would help much. The bots are going to post their spam, whether or not it's in a thread of their own.

It was their 2nd post so their first must've been approved.
And yeah I forgot about the post approval thing. Well okay then lol
