Yeah, because if you ever set someone to ignore then the number goes up by one. I think it's kind of interesting, it makes me wonder who is blocking who and for what reason. |

Yeah, Yuber is great. I've been teaching him new ways to hunt and kill bots... I even take information FROM bots and store them elsewhere. Damn, I hate bots...
I added this stuff a few days ago. |

Bots are definitely annoying, as they have infested another forum I go to. I have suggested that they adopt the restrictions on new members being able to start new topics as the bots only post their one topic and then sod off to whatever hell spawned them, but I'm not sure if it is a default function of phpBB or a MOD which needs to be installed. |

That is actually a great idea, I did not post my first topic till after a number of posts. I've never felt the urge to post a topic as soon as i've joined a forum. If its possible i'd definately support that. _________________ "In the rain, I'm calling you dear, find my way, can't you see me standing right here" ~ I.V - X Japan

I agree 100%. In fact, it might prevent those certain types of n00bs from sticking around--it'll also prevent newbies from making fools of themselves by posting duplicate topics all over the place on their first day. _________________

Well, it already exists here at Suikox:

That's because you tried to create a topic. We don't allow new people with 0 post counts to create topics from the onset, because that's what bots like to do. |
There are other forums I go to which have bots create topics about things which one would never discuss in polite conversation or links to random pharmaceutical sites. Whether the restriction of topic creation is built-in the the board software or an added MOD, I am not sure. _________________

I have to ask then--I just looked at the profile of some new Harmonian, and he had two posts and two topics he had started. That would imply that he had posted a new topic as his first post...? Unless the topics are counted seperately from the posts? _________________

Even failed attempts at creating topics will end up being counted.
Ad for how to limit new members from posting topics, I believe there is a mod out there that takes care of that. It's not a default feature. |

Only 35 people having someone on their ignore list seems pretty low if you ask me, when you get class acts like Silver Sinocard who have a dozen or more people ignoring him. I bet most of those 35 are focused on a select few half dozen or so individuals. |
