Forum Roll Call

Post by Naraku » Tue Apr 12, 2016 7:43 am

I've been wandering the halls of the forums and have come across a curious stat. There are over 7000+ forum users but only 100 or so active online players? I started to glance over the list of forum users and noticed that many of them were spambots or had links to spamsites such as the forums "newest member" - Love-sites . What gives? Do the mods no longer delete or remove the spammers from the forums like they once did in the olden days of luxtopia? Or they had 0 posts(pages 28-71 of the forums members lists) They don't count as an active member of the luxtopian community. (pages 20 - 28 all have posted just 1 time)

Anyways the purpose of this poll & thread is to get an accurate head count of active forum users and players! Please post whatever you want below this but post something to prove to all of luxtopia that you are not now nor never have been just a spambot or hidden forum lurker and never a dirty filthy multiregging forum user!!!! :smt013

Plus would be nice to see some familar faces /forum avatars wander back in from out of the wildz of the interwebZ!!!

and dustin/mods any chance of wiping out the false forum users from the database? (minus of course the yahoo-google-bing bots I somehow find their presence in the wee dark hours of the night oddly reassuring)

that's 7000 forum accounts across 14 years.

Active forum users, at present, likely sits around 20-30.

Man I just came here to play some RISK. That's still all I really want. Soon somebody's going to make an up-to-date version of this game, and then you all probably won't see a whole lot more of me.

Of the first 1000 forum users on the list of 7034 those users have made more than 6 posts. so 6034 people just made up accounts to rarely or NEVER post anything to the forums? Any way to just delete the spam/fake forum users? :?: :hmm: :panic: :llama

In general, it's about sweeping away the fustiness of winter and closed doors. An excuse to wear fetching rubber gloves and revel in the scent of method cucumber multi-surface spray! (I love spring cleaning, as you may have guessed. Also fall cleaning, truth to tell.) :D

In this case, I'm not at all certain. But I have plenty of microfiber cloths to share, if they're required.

About that, do the mods/Dustin delete fake spambots accounts?

New accounts must have their first three posts approved before they can post willy nilly. I have been trying to ban all the spam accounts I see, but it does get very tedious, especially after disapproving 70+ spam posts (hasn't happened in a while now which is great!). I know dustin has been deleting/banning a ton of spam accounts.

What we need is an apocalyptic battle between carebears and communists to settle the fate of the world.

so this is just a summary of the page 71 of "forum users" now up to 7050. Guess there must be a clog in dustin's spambot filter/deletion program or algorithm?

23/50 new forum users are confirmed spambots, with who knows how many zombie/ghost forum accounts out there... :panic:

O well, I guess mods no longer block or erase them or maybe never did? If dustin has in the past been deleting them wouldn't the forum user base total be accurate? or lower than 1000 actually users?
