I can't edit my old Forum Threads.

Post#1 » Sun Jan 15, 2023 2:32 am

Since 2 days I can't edit my old Forum threads like our guild description or the waepon crate list.

Guild description:
viewtopic.php?t=4252

Weapon Crate list:
viewtopic.php?f=74&t=21007&p=231621#p231621

Do I need to copy these threads to alter the posts?

Just an anti-spam measure. It's been removed now that the bots have calmed down a little. You should be able to edit again.

Have you tried disabling posting for new accounts for the first 10-15 minutes? Like 99% of the bots post after 3-4 minutes.
You could just add a error message with a count down if any actual human tries to post.

Another option is the add a check in your DB if the new account is using a same title/body as a previous post, as by the looks of it, that's what half of them do.

Thanks a lot. It is working now.
