You could publish a maximum and minimum length for new usernames like ZBB has.
You could take a few pages from ConWorlds.Info.
They require Locations to begin with a 1. You could do something similar.
Also they require the "Interests" line to refer to the subject of their bboard; you could do something similar.
And they prefer if the Website line is filled in with a URL pointing to your conworlds work; you could encourage people to point one to their conscripts work.
And they like some of the "Contacts" information and/or some of the "Occupation" information to be filled in. You could require the Location information to begin with a # or something, for instance.
And they encourage people to select avatars and have signatures that are relevant to the bboards subject-matter. You could do something similar.
If you publish all that on the "RULES" forum/thread, you could at least guarantee that anyone trying to register was an actual human being who'd actually read at least one post on at least one thread here.
It might also be good to ask every new user to post their first message as soon as possible; possibly to an "Introduction" or "Welcome" thread or forum. |

Curse these bots they must be killed!..... Anyway I totally agree with this. Also somethings up with David's forum as well because I went there a few minutes ago to check for updates ( as it's been a while ) and it said that this board is unavailable atm.
WTF is up with that? I'll try again and get back to you but that is just weird because on the top it says that I'm logged in. I hope it's not anything serious.....Please God please!

I know. Do you think he did to "protect" it untill he gets settled in his new house? I hope that's the case. I couldn't live with myself if something happened to it.

Where is David's forum? I mean its address. I want to join other forums--as long as its about conlanging, and be as active as possible, though not the ZBB. ZBB is too large for me. I like the smaller forums like this one, and the one of Sano, everybody seems to get along well and know each other. _________________ kasabot ka ani? aw di tingali ka bisaya mao na

David's forum is at conlangers.17.forumer.com.
And Serali, yeh, I think that he may have done that... I'm not sure, I haven't heard of anything though. |

Amen.

I love every moment of posting here. I hope though that everyone can set their differences aside.
I'd understand your feeling against Sano, Serali. Do most of you share the same sentiments? I seem to get the impression that most are. I'm on his forum as well, but I'm more active here.

Okay, let's not start a long rant about Sano.
We just need to learn to get by with the people that we don't like so I'm not going to continue so please, we should all stop. ^^ |
