hello

I have a suggestion, don't know if more users will like it or not but I want to share my thoughts

after we have seen there are a lot of new users coming and involved in scams(not all but most), and people are farming account, spamming everywhere

what if this forum disable new user registrations and registrations only possible via invites only and you can also put the limits how much invites a user can send based on their rank, and stop negative trust users to send invites,only Full member and above users can send invites


please share your thoughts, i think it will control a lot of spam on this forum
Admin please consider this if you think its a good idea to control the spam

Farming account is not againts the rule, but if you post crappy posts or spam with your alt, it will be againts the rule. One thing is it will control the number of spam , which is might be but what if someone wish to learn about bitcoin in this forum and doesnt have any friends which could give him an invite link?

And also providing an invite link for a Full member or above could be abused, because some people might sell their invites link for an extra penny, some people just tend to milk the every penny with their account

I don't think its a good idea to stop new users from registering. For a new person introduced to bitcoin, it will be harder to join. Rather people will start selling accounts, which would kind of mean the same thing.

A better solution to stop the spam would be not allow new registrations from an existing IP. But even that has some limitations, as there can always be multiple people using the same IP. Disabling registrations through TOR, and checking cookies could be another solution.

I don't think this is going to happen. One point of the forum is to get more people involved into Bitcoin. If registration is closed then less people will join the community which means less people will use Bitcoin.

I don't agree.

new real users (new real bitcoiners) should be able to fire up an account here. invite only is killing this.
