SMCars News Letter 16th of May 2007

Welcome all, this new letter is just going to be a quick one, mainly on the things happening around SMCARS.

Firstly for all those people wondering way some of the pictures, and things like the post time doesn’t come up, don’t worry about it, we are in the middle of making a new skin for the site, so there is really no need to fix something that will be changed soon.

Secondly, the mods and admin will be cracking down on the rules of this site, you might have see the amount of spam we are getting, we are working on way to cull all the spam, but in the mean time any spam will be deleted and user banned, 99% of these post are done by bots so most of you don’t need to worry about it, but just don’t post ad's or useless post it doesn’t help. We will also not tolerate any wares or illegal talk, but you guys already know this right.

And thirdly, this is the big one; most of you will not be affected by this. But because of this recent increase of spam we have a lot of members with 0 post who are just bots, so once we get everything sorted out with the skin, we will be culling all members with 0 posts.
This might ban some users that are not bots but really there are only 3 kinds of people who have 0 posts
1/ are the bots we deleted their one post and I always forget to ban them.
2/ people who just used this site once for a blueprint then never visited again
3/ the people who just use this site and don’t contribute to it.
So If you don’t want to be banned post some work!

And to bring this letter to an end. I have to thank some of the member of SMCARS, who are always donating blueprints to this site.
So we all have to thank member like ssexton and tiberius, there are more but I am in a rush, but SMCARS would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this site!

Thanks
SMCARS Team

Ps, I know, there are no pretty pictures this letter, but I am in a rush sorry, just head over to the WIP section and get your fill.

If you can turn, your not going FAST enough

actually its untrue,if you use a program like siteripper and a few others,it rips every single picture from an url you imput. so its not stoppable but then they have to sort through thousands upon thousands of pics,done so myself on another site.

Glad to see you guys are working on the spam bot problem. Ever since the site was hacked it seems like the number of spam posts went up. It's been getting pretty annoying.

well those web spiders are stoppable, just one simple file is needed in "root" of site and it eliminates any of those rippers.

Yeah I am one of those people, too.

I lurk at the forums without posting but I view others people work and download blueprints.I don't want to post spammy stuff like "Thanks." "Good job." and fill the database so my post count is 0.Also, I suck at modeling to post my stuff here but I am still learning *very slowly*. I hope I don't get kicked out of this teriffic forum.
