To reduce spam, first posts must now be approved

Hi! I’m not sure if you all have received some spammy posts from this forum lately. If you did, sorry about that. New users are being created every day to post bad nonsense replies. I guess more advanced LLMs are too expensive to post good nonsense :sweat_smile:

I changed a setting and the first posts of new users won’t show up until approved. Not amazing for new users, but it shouldn’t take long until the post shows up. I’m keeping an eye on it :slight_smile:

Hi, I was going to post my first post today, and I was hoping to keep doing it each week I don’t want to spam the forum but also I would like to share what I have here also and I think it is a good step to control this but please if someone posted a post that is spamming just let us know so we understand what is spamming and what is not. Also it wort to now that I have not received any spam from this forum at all and most of the notification I got in my email are good one.

I’m very happy that you didn’t receive spam!

What I mean with spam is nonsensical replies not written by humans, unrelated to anything discussed in the topic, with a link to some shady website. For instance this topic just received 7 28 such replies by the same user, which I will delete right now.

This doesn’t apply to anything you would post :slight_smile: I’ll be happy to see any posts related to OPENRNDR, with questions, creations, discussions, etc. Looking forward to it :slight_smile:
