Can Place require access request to stop spammers?

Post by LKinney » Mon May 09, 2011 7:56 pm

I know spammers will happen - such is the world of the internet, but while it annoys me on the main board, it's actually very upsetting to get hit with spam in one's Place.

Can Place be made off limits like PBH or something? Require a request to access it? Then at least they can't post willy nilly in people's private and personal space.

Since it's a Member's Only area anyway........

My two dinars. Thank you.

The staff is currently discussing this idea. Because it is a members only space, the idea does make some sense. However, it is a bit of a logistical issue in trying to get everyone where they need to be in an orderly fashion.

Oh. I was hoping it would be easy for you. Of course, when has admin ever been easy, huh? :wink:
