      Got your attention with the 51% attack… well it’s not a mining 51% attack… a community one.

      That’s right a 51% attack on the community. How would we deal with that? Someone creating a hundred diff accounts then degrading the community from within. Yes it would require more then 1 person but this community is this coin. I’m just putting this out there as a topic.

        Good call, I’m looking into that. I think confirms should carry more weight.

            That will filter a good portion.

              But we still have to maintain the forum as a easy going, friendly and easy enough to sign into place, not have it like fort knox.

                There will always need to be a happy medium. i hear a bit more of the spam bots are getting through captcha. I hate captcha but it has a purpose.

                  over at x360a when a group tries raiding, the admins can flip a switch for mod post approval for new accounts under X amount of posts. They have thousands of active members, seems to work in an emergency.
