Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Story& Character is flooded with spam

Heheh looks much better already!

For stranger danger, I would suggest limiting the ability of new users to create a thread immediately upon registering. That is a fairly common practice. Meaning you'd have to post a couple posts in existing threads or wait 24 hrs before you can barnstorm in as an OP.

This would discourage spam and provocateurs, and make the boards generally easier to navigate.

I'd also reserve the animated emojis in thread titles only for Moderators. Clapping Santa hat smilie is overstaying his welcome. It's only Sept! That dude should be at the north pole for another two months at least.

It says we're running UBB 7.7.5 but then I'm not sure what that actually means for boards that have existed for this long? There are posts here dating back to 2003.

It could be that there are built-in administrator tools to help with this stuff, but these may need to be activated or something? I don't know, I don't envy your job, it seems daunting. But we appreciate what you do!

Thanks!
