SHOPS will be more effective when IP banning is figured out. Then the IP of the banners can be banned and they won't be allowed to make new accounts. Until then we will do our best to find them and if they make a new account but don't spam then they will be fine.
True, but not everyone is smart enough to figure that out. IP banning is not specifically for SHOPS, most sites like this have them in place already. It will help with a few of the users who are coming back repeatedly under different aliases.
Axel, I will say this because you are the leader of SHOPS. Realize that your actions are representing the group. Creating Topics that simply count down from 1,000,000 is a spam topic.
I understand, and it is a very valid concern. However, since it is Dan that approved the group in the first place, it is really his decision. you did email him didn't you? Or was it nqkoi that emailed Dan?
