Title: Mods: Please close forum registrations until SR is back up
Post by: TheGoodSon on November 15, 2012, 03:54 pm
Everytime I come here, there's three or four new accounts posting ridiculous claims or "theories" about why SR is down. It would serve to promote a greater sense of well being if we just stopped people from making new accounts for now.

Thanks.

The problem is that I'm sure there are still legit SR buyers/vendors who don't user forums who may find themselves here after the downtime and may want to register to message their buyers/vendors....Not really sure closing registrations is a good idea.

Not everyone who uses SR automatically has a forum account, I know I didn't until the outage. Thats unfair to all the legitimate buyers/vendors with serious concerns about the well being of their money.

I am more than confident that by now the majority of anyone who would want a forum account has one.

Just here to echo Breastimus' sentiments. I'm a noob on this forum, but I've been an SR patron a while now; I just registered to keep track of my favorite vendors and to keep apprised of the situation. I'm sure there are scores of users like me who've registered during the downtime and not made any sort of stink at all. Just a thought! :)

You can't close forum registrations, that would be like censorship. That's not to be tolerated.

I agree,  Close down new registration.  And to Goblin......if they can close registration to new members to SR, why not SR forums.

To many newbies, whether SR vets or not, are getting on the Forums and causing problems, and completely destroying the whole point of forums---useful info!!!
