In the off topic section, a crosser sub-forum
Sub forums in the Tracks/ Meetings forums !. Off-road 2. Supermoto 3. Events (Mini4GB etc.)
Thats all I can think of atm

[thumpstar-120]

get about 4 mods 2 admin

sort someting out with uploading pictues the size thing make it bigger
and the garage same thing

and a new banner for the front and change the coloures maybe red and black

able to delete ur on thread u made so they dont pop up about 2 year l8ter with some new bie looking to buy ur bike that sold time ago
stuff like that
have links to good pitbike seller at the top so no thread time waster asking where to buy pitbike s from

and what atticus said

[jameslanceley]

have about 4 modds and 1 more admin update the colours abit and try put a chatbox in , updae the front banner. and try get somert sorted about uploading pics so u dnt have to make them so small ,and sort the garage out takes to long to open and i can never get a pic to work that about it from me :) :) :) :)

i totally agree more mods are needed as a lot of spam bots are on recently

and also possibly sticky a thread about buying pit bikes as you get people on daily asking the same q where to buy a bike etc...

maybe a thread delete situation )thoose that post a thread can control it etc....(

[atticus]

ooo and another that would be good. A forum seller/ buyer feedback thing like on some other forums i've used. It's been an idea thats cropped up a few times so I thought id mention it.

[thumpstar-120]

yhyh like say a pole
put there user name and then like ( bad seller did not recive the item , ok seller abit to long for the seller to reply to my quiestion or very good seller wood buy again stuff like that where u mark them


when will version three be done then

How do I keep my forum spam free?

Spammers spam anything that isn't nailed down completely. So, how to keep a forum spam free?
I'm clueless, so please keep it simple...
If your spam is overrun by spam, and you don't have premoderation capabilities (ie, when the messages won't appear on the forum before you approve them), then you need to delete your forum. It's possible your forum contains the capability of moderation, but you'll have to check in the admin panel and switch it on.
If one or two spammers have found your forum, but they've only made one spam run each, there's a chance you could salvage the forum. BUT, you'll need to remove it from the search engines right away, to avoid attracting another spammer that won't go away.
You do that by placing a robots.txt file in the root of your site. That means, the same directory as your first index. file. NOT where the forum resides. In that file, you need to put the following text:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /forumdirectory/
And remember to put the name of your forumdirectory in here, not copy the text word by word.
If you need to start over, and have a very small site, and are truly clueless, you may not be able to use any of the really big and complicated forums. They ARE better because people need to register before they can post, and some have premoderation that can be turned on and off for subforums.
So, if you need to start over with what many would term insecure software (like Matt's wwwboard and its clones), you should pick a new directory, disallow that directory in robots.txt before you start, install your forum and pray... Spammers will generally not be interested in your forum unless they find it on Google, but if your forum gets busy, it might attract trolls, which could be quite annoying.
I'm fairly experienced with websites. I just want advice on keeping my forum free of spam...
If you have a big website (ie, plenty of space), you're probably using a forum powered by MySQL. vBulletin, Invision Power Board, phpBB or Simple Machines.
That kind of forum usually has less of a problem with spam, because users need to be registered. But there are spambots that can manage registering accounts. If you install captcha's for registering accounts, you should have less of a problem. That's built into some forum software. Just choose that feature in the admin panel.
If you have a large problem with spam (say if you allow unregistered users to post), you may need premoderation. That's currently not possible with phpBB, but that functionality is coming. Most of the other forums already have that feature.
If you have a really bad problem - say humans registering accounts and spamming as though they're a troll - moderate new users. Approve them for unmoderated posting only after they've posted a number of posts.
I should also mention something about search engine spiders: Some forum software can lead Googlebot and msnbot and possibly other bots to get lost inside your forum, maybe even taking down your server, because they get lost in all the session ID's. That's a problem with some versions of Invision Power Board, and may be a problem with other software using session ID's. There are mods out there, so investigate that before you let search engines loose on your forum.

And I think the posts that are blatently text talk should be deleted by mods because if someone is too lazy to write properly then their post is probably not worth much to the forum.

[jamessd]

I reckon it would be good to have some kind of banner up the top to show which mods are online and a link either to their profiles or straight to the pm page (even when they aren't online)... as I don't expect these spam bots are gonna go away anytime soon :thumbs:, and then we don't have to keep finding them on the forums they would be just a click away!

[jordan m]

yea thats a real good idea i was thinking of that before because every time i send a pm about the spam n stuff i have to go hunt for there usernames:thumbs:

[IanOvKs]

mayb a chat box for ppl to talk in but make it so , ppl cant spam as in like 3 warns and a week ban off chat box mayb? lol just a thought

[stomper140]

No BOTW please, mebe a monthly one.
In the off topic section, a crosser sub-forum
Sub forums in the Tracks/ Meetings forums !. Off-road 2. Supermoto 3. Events (Mini4GB etc.)Thats all I can think of atm
yep i aggree with that

[kingy2184]

less spam. maybe more mods to deal with it or some sort of security to stop it happening in the first place. i know its pretty much impossible to keep it all out but it seems to have got a lot worse recently:thumbs:

[PitBikeClub]

Lads put your handbags away, it's a thread for suggestions not for slagging.

Want to slag? Use PM, not the forums.

Just want to note to everyone, i've read so much **** lately.

Towards the bottom of the page there is a link that says "Forum Leaders", at has all of us on there with ways to contact each of us :thumbs: also, the forum tells you when we are online at the bottom of the page too.

[jamessd]

I meant a baner that is there wherever you are on the forum, not just on the home page - but otherwise I suppose we can make do with that.

[atticus]

Would be a good idea, just finding a suitable place to put it though.

[jamessd]

How about to the right of ''need help? Read our Faq'' ?

[atticus]

Aye would work. Some think this im guessing you mean:

Moderators online: atticus Despise ...

[jamessd]

yeh or maybe:

Moderators: Despise, atticus ... of which online: ___________________

So that even when you're not online we have a direct link to your pages :thumbs: but if one of you is then we know who to contact.

[Charlie_G]

Chat box, to stop so many threads going off topic.

Stricter rules, this is the only forum I go on that I don't worry one bit about breaking any rules, its just mahem, no one has respect for anyone.

failing that, wipe the whole lot us and those who wanna stay, sign up again :roll:

and more mods!!!, and a new theme would be nice

[atticus]

Admins: PitBikeClub Moderators: atticus Despise

With either http://www.pitbikeclub.co.uk/forest2/images/statusicon/user_online.gif(online) or http://www.pitbikeclub.co.uk/forest2/images/statusicon/user_offline.gif (offline) next to them to show?

Just so that it can cut down on the writing

Yeh that's good.

[atticus]

Chat box, to stop so many threads going off topic.

We had a chat box, it didn't work. If an agruement starts in a thread it will stay in it, chat box or not.

Stricter rules, this is the only forum I go on that I don't worry one bit about breaking any rules

The more mods will help this happen tbh.

no one has respect for anyone.

Also very true, and I don't understand why. Everyone is here because they like pitbikes so why so many aguements over pointless crap :confused:

[samturner31]

tbf theres too many people to have a chatbox so it might get a bit confusing.

bike of the month would be better than bike of the week as atticus said.

just a bit of a colour change and changing a few things would be great.

more mods to get rid of troublemakers. saying no names :roll: and to get rid of spam :thumbs:

[thumpstar-120]
