Johnatone Posted May 9, 2003 when somebody new registers, how do you tell the difference between someone who will only post one time, someone who is a troll or spammer, and someone who is actually there to be serious? i'm just assuming there are ways to tell, 'cause if there are, i'm surprised there aren't more 'newbie genocides.' 0 Share this post Link to post

Naked Snake Posted May 9, 2003 People who usually make one post are usually asking a simple question like "How do I get Doom to run on XP?" Spammers usually start an assload of threads or start posting at an insane rate Serious people usually start posting in current threads with their views and usually construct them in the manner you would expect from somebody that has frequented many forums. 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMBoy Posted May 9, 2003 What I can't understand are those people who register, and then wait two weeks to make a single post that goes something like this: hey i'm new lol ive ben looking for doom.wad and and i cant find it can any1 send it to me? i would appreshiate it lol 0 Share this post Link to post

Epyo Posted May 9, 2003 Try again. Where that place is between your avatar and your registration date, is your postcount, but it's invisible! Highlight it! 0 Share this post Link to post
