[edit] WHOOPS this item looks to be main chat spam and not PM [/edit] A_Alias Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 17, 2006 ok to add more info, I am using Ptokax as you can see in my sig. I have the anti-flood settings turned on in the hubsoft. We do not let users self reg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 21, 2006 The anti-flood settings you seem to be talking about, are one users sending many message within a certain period of time? What was being suggested was that you go "semi-private", basically people can;t make messages in main chat, or send PMs to other users without being registered.

Posted August 22, 2006 then how do they ask to be regged? The bot could PM the users givining them an ICQ or other way for registration. Also, upon connect, they could see the contact details of the OPs in MOTD or in the welcome message. Awkward, but a way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
