Limit for letters in Subject
My idea is to remove minimal limit for letters in subject or set it on 3 or 2. 10 is too long for topics where you don't have to say something in subject.

Not worried about that at all, Im on this forum alot, ill jsut ban the users and thatll be the end of it... And I dont know anyone who'd do that to a colony forum, I havent seen it done on any other forum either, if it does happena dn get out fo hand, then Ill definetely look to it.

haha you don't know bots very well do you. bots/spammers main goal is to drive you crazy you can ban there user name email address even ip address and then will still come back because i know how to by pass everything i just mentioned as i can easily change my ip address to a Japanese one and you wouldn't even know it was me then i can keep changing my address to different places spammers main goal is to make your life a living hell if we do encounter them which i strongly think we will have them for this forum is the minute we see 1 if you haven't excepted a mod yet you definitely should as you wont be able to handle the spam on your own

U cant change ur IP, only use proxy serves, im not stupid, dont get techy on me when I clearly know it, and I can block proxy users from the site too, but I dont feel like putting a bot thing cus it'd take too much time =S
And saying you need a mod, im looking for one right now and you know it, mentioning it wont help you...

Changing ur IP is easy you just need a dynamic ip and reset your router
if you are offline and a bot starts spamming and you get online again your board will be spammed with maybe hundreds of messages
who is gonna delete all those messages?
putting a letter code up is less time requiring then handling bots

If we do do this we will have many people spam such as:
1st person:
"hey I was having trouble with Colony. Someone help?"
2nd person:
"NO!" or "LOL"

something that disturbs me is that the title of a new topic has to be 10 unit's long
could you reduce that to 5?
