[New Members send a Reply Here!] About us
Posted: Sat Nov 12, 2016 12:13 pm
Over the last year we have been bombarded by Bots that attempt to get around the systems to keep them out which has resulted in literally hundreds if not thousands of members which have not made a constructive post to the Forums. Given that getting the ability to post messages here requires a first post to be approved by the Administrators or Moderators and that at some stage we are possibly going to want to start purging members who have never posted anything it will be a lot easier to identify Bots that never make an accepted contribution to the site if our real members do post something.
I hope that by sticky-ing this topic it can be used by new members to post their first (a unique message)* about something that has at least a vague connection to Mudlet, Muds in general or why they wanted to sign up here. E.g. what got you into Mudding. If you do include a URL in your post e.g. to a MUD's own website please make sure that it is to something directly and obviously related to Muds or Mudlet - links to random sites (even your own, unless you are a MUD operator and the site is your Server ) are exactly what Bots try to do to us - so don't emulate them else we miss-identify you as a Bot and treat you accordingly (ban or delete you!)
* - Bots have been known to copy other posts but using Google-fu we can spot this!
Given that not everyone wants to tell all and sundry everything about themselves even here, you might just want to say what Muds you have played or want to play and what you think about them. Or give us glowing praise and encouragement in a unique way...
