Continuous Bot Attacks on Agar Forum
#1
Exclamation 
Hey, I am writing this text for a reason, namely that AgarioForums.net has had a problem with spam for several months, and more specifically, New people create an account on Agar forum and create posts on the basis of (link to the scammer page) these pages are: Pages with viruses, directs us to porn sites and other such things. Needless to say, how annoying it is, Agar forum. I know that this problem is not easy and you probably know how to solve it, but maybe you don't have time but I want to help you. I have an idea that you can create such a system that for every person who creates a new account on Agar forum the first 10 posts will be first checked by the moderate and then after 10 posts he will be able to write. Or enter on the "list of users who, when they post, can link to some website there".

And others, when they freeze to link to a post automatically, the moderator will have to check the post before releasing It.

the Problem is even older than several months, its several years.
And sora probably won’t fix this.

I think so too, but I think the ideas I wrote can reduce the scale of this type of spam

Yes but he won’t implement it probably. It’s obvious he doesn’t care much about Agarioforums, or he would have fixed the crash problems and tried to fight the bots, as this goes on and on for years.

Silver, the issue with spammers has been well-known for years.

The problem is that this software (MyBBS) is quite old, I don't think there is much support for it any longer, and Sora wants to put his effort into the game, not the Forums.

People should be able to spot most messages that are spam right away. Do not click on links unless you recognize the poster.

I realize that leaves a large onus on you to protect yourself, but it's like that everywhere on the Internet.

Moderators do delete the spam when they see it, but those bots are relentless.

Also, Sora has never wanted to limit someone from being able to post a legitimate message, so the ability for a new user to post will not likely ever be taken away.
Fight the Good Fight
(Listen with lyrics here!)
Make it worth the price we pay!
All your life you've been waiting for your chance,
Pray you'll fit into the Plan.
But you're the master of your own destiny,
So give and take the best that you can!

Additionally, Sora never wanted to limit the ability to publish legitimate news, so a new user will likely never be deprived of publishing.
Yes, I know that, but I found the suggestions I wrote to be the easiest and most effective.  And for Sora, it won't be much work.  But I understand that Sora wants to focus on Agma.io and not the forum.  I have nothing against you, Sora just wants to help the forum.  And to you, Squirrel, thank you for explaining the problem
