What type of administration aware of the type of players their are in game would even make such ribbon?

And because it's only 25 posts it won't stop the spam because as new people join CF they too will need to spam to get the ribbon.

i Agree good post!

We've still got some ideas to play with before we start hitting the panic buttons.

We've seen some incredible growth, and the forums (spam or otherwise) are a much better indication of the amount of people that play the game. Beyond the couple hundred trolls that used to post around here.

So you want me to look at the clan section and see all the spam.

As opposed to going to the clan section previously and seeing all the insults, swearing, hackusations, moaning about farming, troll posts and other such nonsense?


Perhaps we could use some better organization of the forums. For example, having a forum dedicated to recruitment. Having a forum dedicated to more strategy and tactics (rather than calling it maps and/or weapons). Maybe we need more moderators Etc Etc.

It's a growing boards, the users just grew by a lot. Now we have to look at ways to accommodate such an unexpected push for the forums.

But it cuts it down considerably...

Lets say 1000 new members at 250 posts to get
1000X250=250,000 spam posts

or

1000X25=25,000 spam posts....


Big difference.

You might say that we've got rid of trolls, but now we have spammers. One problem doesn't really make up for another, does it?

I'm not sure that overloading the forums with more sections would be the right thing to do, because then you'd have to find more mod's to monitor each section surely? There will be more forum sections than people you can trust with powers.

Why would the user amount have grown though? Because I don't believe that it would be due to a new patch, not the amount that we've seen anyway.

By the way, I can see trolls coming back because of all of these new users, so then we'll be back at the beginning but with the added problem of spam.

I do agree with this though.



EDIT: Saidin, you only have to look back through this thread to see some spam if you haven't already, people are farming posts here.

the ribbon is just to get people to post on the forums. when you think about not much of the CF community uses the forums.

All it's doing is encouraging spammers and trollers, look at the clan section, seriously who's monitoring that? :S

And sorry if this should be in suggestions or something, feel free to move it.

Z8games will ban everyone who spams and necro-post. So stop spamming or you can get a in-game and in-forum ban!

SadOn3

sure, 25 posts = 1 Ribbon, 20 Ribbons = M4A1 Custom Cristal .

There's too many to ban, too time consuming, that's the point xD

We won't remove the ribbon. Specially because the requirement has been lowered to 25 posts. It's really easy to get and will avoid excessive spam. Just make 25 posts and then go away or stay if you want.

While it brings in new people, it's also an easy way for people to get the M4A1 Crystal.
