New Changes to fight problem makers

Hi All,

Thank you to all the members who have been sending us their valuable suggestions to improve our Site.

Lately it was brought to our attention that there were some miscreants sending other members offensive/abusive/harassing PMs by creating new IDs. Well it was a very unfortunate incident and we regret that such thing occurred on our site.

We just wanted to tell our members that we take any such incidents seriously. So to make the system better equiped to handle such incidents and to keep a check on such people we have implemented some changes to the system:

• Newbies cannot send Images/Hyperlinks in PMs untill they are in the Groupbie stage. (Done)
  
  
• Newbies cannot make more then 4 New topics per day. We came to this after looking at the data available where how many new Topics created by a new Genuine member and a Spammer. On an average a new member makes less then 2 New topics where as a Spammer makes 10+. (Done)
  
  
• We will be adding a feature where Members can choose not to recieve PMs from person who are not in their Buddy List. (excluding Dev Team members). (Coming Soon)
  
  
• Members can report PMs just like they can report Forum Posts so that our inhouse team can go through it and take action on the same if its not following our site Code Of Conduct. (Coming Soon)
  
  
• We can even track members with zero forum posts. So Spammers and Mischeif Mongers should not think that they can hide with that. (Done)

We hope these measures will help us fight this problem.

Regards,
Vijay Bhatter
