To get a good answer, ask a Smart Question. Similarly, if you want a bug fixed, write a Useful Bug Report. No TTDPatch crashlog? Then follow directions.

If they are unable to hit the search button, why would they hit the sticky ?

Hyronymus, this is what we're talking about. See here, then here.
Note how quickly the topics are started. This happens too often.

EDIT - I see this user has been given a public warning elsewhere. I have a suspicion it may be someone evading a ban :roll:

I get the point now, badger. I think I misjudged the situation a bit.

See, I wouldn't have complained if there wasn't a problem. I honestly think its been the same few people with different IDs over the last few months.

No, it are different users. We can check IP and host for each one and none match.

IP adress doesnt say much, i think most of the guys are having dynamic IP. (Host doesnt change though :)) That the dutch people are lucky guys with fixed is another thing. (Offcourse lucky in some way though ;))

Even if a user has a dynamic IP address, we can see all the IPs a user has posted from, and it's usually fairly obvious if a user has a dynamic IP, because the IP addresses will be quite similar.

IP address and MAC are fairy easy to hide. Only issue might be the slow speed. Don't put me into temptation now...
And let me not say how, because some banned members might misuse the directions.

Now about how lucky Danish people are... how will you download from Rapidshare with a fixed IP?

Rapidshare is useful for other reasons than that. For example, I've wanted to give large files to friends, files that are above my email's attachment limit, so i put them on rapidshare.

I first joined the UKTS forums a few weeks agom up until i reached my 15th post all my posts were being reviewed by administrators, perhaps this could be done? (i know, it's more work, but if orudge wants, i can help)

It would be a good idea, but would require a lot of work to maintain that system. The only problem I see with that it what's to stop people after the first 15 posts posting in the way that the initial period stops them from doing, all it may do is quell the storm for a small time.

And here is a prime example of what Kevo is talking about.

3 posts in 15 min and all the spam IMO.

and a signature that makes my eyes bleed to top it off.

I agree, the "begging" emote has got to f'in go.
