@pe7erpark3r said in Update: Spam Prevention:

Hmm, I don't really think so. Today you have email verification everywhere. It's standard procedure for every crappy forum, shop or even blog comments out there.

I understand, but dont we hate it.
Also, to say, 'every' would be too far-fetched, cause most of them dont.
Also, forums are topic specific, so the people who are willing to go to a forum, have the incentive with them before hand to do all that!
whereas comparing shopping with this site, would be comparing apples with oranges.

People are used to at least this step. And remember: not seeing spam, is inviting people to stay ;-).

Like i said, im not against this step, just giving a drawback which could happen.
Also, people are used to many things, but its not necessary, that those things are good, dont you agree?
as for spamming, yes, it is a major issue. But, there are many more ways to limit them, like the anti-spam bot on discord, isp bans instead of ip bans for persistent users.

And the big ones (google, facebook, twitter, microsoft, apple, and so on) even have phone number verification added on top. It's not going to keep new users away...

Like you said, they are the BIG ONES. Their name, is enough to give new users incentive to join.

So my argument, is not about the security check/email verification being right or wrong.
It is, whether, the new users will go that extra mile, just for a quick chat.

@TalkWithStranger
thanks, and a great initiative too,
but
will'nt the multiple security checks, just discourage the new users from entering....
Many people, have an attention span of a goldfish, and to make them go through various verification and other hassles, will just discourage them from interacting.
i understand, that there is no way around, to accommodate both the ease of users, as well as the security, but the new people, have no incentive whatsoever to go through all that hassle.
They haven't interacted with the users already on the platform enough, neither have they got the high from posting topics and posts.
So easier option for them would be to just leave, before even trying.

We all are sick of spammers and people who have nothing better to do with their life. Who get the kick out of making things miserable for others. @Global-Moderators have been asking for a security check where new accounts shouldn't be allowed to post on Public Chatroom before verifying their email address. Well now we have implemented it! All accounts need to verify their email before creating a topic or posting on Public Chatroom now.

We hope this will make chat more enjoyable for you all. Also, thank you all @Global-Moderators for the painstaking bans you had to do earlier to stop those idiots.

Is that a Lenovo laptop?

asking people, what their guilty pleasure is!

So, what's your guilty pleasure @snpem69 ?

@King-Kadak I appreciate your recognition of the situation as well as your sincere apologies and I´m glad you have decided to reform. Hope this doesn´t occur again in the future.

@King-Kadak
thank god you mend your ways!
we needed some sane indians on this site, hope we all get to know you better!

edit: it takes courage, to accept your mistakes and even more courage to strive to become the better version of yourself. You have decided to take the bold steps, and fortune favors the bold!
BEST OF LUCK MAN

I think ppl are missing the point...
It's not about TWS being dead or dying, it's just the way ppl are using tws as a recruitment platform which clearly goes against tos.
You break a tos you get banned, simple as that.

I'm not with or against anyone, I couldn't care less what happens next, I just think ppl should get their heads out of the sand

@cjko said in Would you rather be smart but not too beautiful? Or beautiful but not too smart?:

@Lurker out of the choices

I know, but I couldn't really decide.
I would be lying if I picked brains or if I picked looks.

I won't say the inside is the only thing that counts, cuz for me that's bs... The looks is what we usually see 1st so I find it hard to be with someone i'm not attracted too, but I can't date a door, or a wall or a shallow pool
