OMG, What's going on here?
Comments
I honestly don't see any legitimate forumer creating more than 1 new thread every 5 minutes.
Comments, maybe. I can imagine two people having a "conversation" at a faster pace.
But new threads? Unless one is copying the contents for the thread from somewhere else, it takes at least a couple of minutes to create a meaningful post.
Also, specifically for these spammers, could you block non-English threads?
We adjusted the interval for what is considered "flooding" within the forums, and how those forumers get hit with a timeout, or an automatic suspension, based on rules in the back end. I'll be monitoring the logs to ensure none of you get caught up in some false positives.
Some are going to want help for certain things and Google Translate doesn't really do a great job sometimes.
I say that because I noticed that there are different languages now when you go to "Get Support" so I feel like some of the new people will come to the forums for help and they don't necessarily speak English very well.
But checking that it at least uses the Roman alphabet would suffice to block these Chinese and Korean spammers.
Aside: Interesting. I see that the "English" clause is no longer in the CoC.
As for the forums, will there be VFMs and Nexon staff who can understand what they say?
Oh wait, how silly of me. 99% of what's posted here in plain English is ignored anyway, nobody'll notice the difference if all non-English posts get no response.
Or just randomly came undone like so many of Nexon's in-game patches.
Or maybe someone good-meaning but clueless intentionally disabled them in order to be more welcoming to the expected influx of European players. And American. I just got email from Nexon yesterday, promoting the new forums.
We just have to wait until one of our VFM's pops in.
Also, I sent a PM to all the Forum Admins and VFMs I know.
As for the "firewall" (the requirement of every new user to be approved), I'm just speculating on what could cause it to disappear.
*edit nvm, messaged them on twitter and they fixed it.
