0 ped Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 There is, but you have to have at least one post for it to become visible. This was to stop spamming. @Woodinblack it might make sense to make the forum visible but with a message to say you need a post to gain access? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 ped Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 It’s really a quick measure to stop one particular type of spam we always used to see if the forum was visible to anyone - an account with the name ‘gear’ in the username would message people saying they have what the advertiser is looking for and ask for payment etc. I must have banned tons of them, all different IPs and locations. As soon as I made it one post to view, it stopped. I tentatively turned it back off again a year or so ago and within weeks it happened again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
