    $%&^& spammers

    Can't we require specific answers about e30's to be answered before allowing someone to register? Most of the front page is spammers right now.
    Haven't you ever seen Russian Nesting Dolls? They work like that.

        Common sense is rather uncommon.

              was just about to make a thread about this as well. Mods please do something I think answering a simple question about e30s or BMW should suffice.

                  How about something where you have to check an answer to this question;

                  "After acquiring E30, what do you do first?"

                  "-New timing belt"

                  "-Suspension overhaul"

                  "-cut-spring + is lip"


                  There is only one correct answer to enter r3v..

                    just ask this question... Has BMW ever used a v6 in any of their cars? spammers wouldn't know if they don't know link them to the rick rolled video

                        The spammers are not bots, which makes the task exponentially more difficult. They're real people, half of whom are copying and pasting content about the thread they're replying to - the Hans thread is a prime example.

                        Some type of (more active) user approval method would be good, though how do you distinguish a "real" new user from one who wants to tell us about cell phone or cabinetry deals in Wales?

                            Hopefully it won't turn us in to e30tech's registration... I registered for e30tech the same time I registered here, I'm still waiting for approval..




                            Also, what I think would be awesome is instead of sending the spammers to a rickroll video, send them to the same exact forum with all the existing posts, but the only people posting in it will be the people who don't know about e30s!! So we can have two parallel forums existing in different dimensions, where one goes to shit, and the other thrives!
