In order to reduce the occurance of spam, P101tv has employed a number of automated practices. The principle measures are as follows:
URL's in Forum Posts. All new members of the website will NOT be able to create a post that contains a URL or Website address to an external website. Once a user has made a number of uploads, their URL privaleges will be re-instated and they will be able to include URLS's and website addresses in their posts. Hopefully this will slow the spammers down a little and genuine new members will understand the reasoning behind my restrictions.
URL's on user profile page. All new members will NOT be able to include a link to a website in their profile page. This has been disabled at registration as well as post registration via the user Control Panel. Again, once the user has made a number of genuine content uploads they will be able to include a website address.
URL's that are allowed. There will be some URL's that new users will be able to include in their posts while their combined content upload count is under the threashold level. These include:
- www.p101tv.com
- www.stuttgartexchange.com
- www.myporsche911.co.uk
Inserting links to other message Threads. While a user content upload count is below the threashold, they will still be able to post links between P101tv video and picture message threads and to other areas of the P101tv website.
Email Domain Restrictions. There are many known domains that spammers use for registering their email address with forums. The forum will now compare those addresses to addresses used at registration. Any match will cause the registration process to be cancelled.
Upload Threashold and Membership StatusThe number of content uploads made by a channel 1p101tv member defines that users membership status. The membership status in turn defines the threashold afterwhich members can post URL's into comments. 'Fledglings' and 'Newbies' are not able post url's or weblinks. They can only post links to internal P101tv pages. Once a user's membership status moves up to being a 'Jr. Member' they will be able to post external URL's or weblinks.
The membership status levels for the channel P101tv website are based on how many pictures or videos or bogs are uploaded. These are the current levels:
- Fledgling - upto 5 uploads;
- Newbie - upto 25 uploads;
- Jr. Member - upto 50 uploads;
- Member - upto 150 uploads;
- Hero Member - Above 151 uploads.
A users membership status badge is displayed below the users avatar for any picture or video uploads as well as on the user's profile page.
Username Restrictions. Any username which implies a relationship to the Channel P101tv name or gives the impression of an administrator or moderator status are not allowed. Also any username which is considered abusive or defamatory is not allowed. Any attempt to create a username which breaches this policy will be automatically cancelled and removed.
