^I believe it’s for SRK as a whole, all the higher ups ask is for the person to leave a link so somebody can check into it. (for threads that is)
When you do a search, you query the back end database. Imagine if many users can do a lot of random queries without any delay, you could overload and the possibly crash the database. No DB = No SRK. It’s normal for sites with a fairly high amount of users to apply something like this, I’ve seen it at other sites as well.
why was the hate on big booty thread closed?
When I saw “white America” I didn’t bother opening the thread.
I imagine it turned into a racial slur and lots of pointing fingers. Eitherway with a title like that I wonder why it didn’t happen within the first 2 posts.
it actually wasnt a bad thread, honestly it turned into an asian have no ass thread. It wasnt’t racist or anything and if people thought it was can mods reopen it and just rename is the american-media hates big booty?
No. Drop it already.
can i at least get an explanation to its closing?
You know why. It was explained to you by another user already.
And FYI, just because it doesn’t deal with black/white racial stereotypes doesn’t mean it’s not racist.

I was expecting Sep to say “co-sign” when I’d seen he’d posted. That would have been hilarious… :lol:
So I was just goofing around with some of the options on SRK and I accidentally stumbled upon this:
I’m not sure what Google Spider & Yahoo! Slurp Spider are used for but you think maybe having them in the forums may lead to more of those annoying bots creeping out every so often? If so, you think blocking or banning the ISP of them would help reduce the amount of bots showing up… dood?
Google view forums all the time… The forum will be on their most hit list, so they’ll be checking the site out.
search deosnt work for me, i only get a white backgound
Try selecting a specific forum or making the search more specific. I get the same thing when I look for something really broad and don’t specify which board.

SRK really should consider getting one of those insert the letters/numbers from the box things. It’ll help prevent the bots, and it takes a real actual user like…5-10 seconds to type that up.
As of right now, we have a good suspicion that what we call “bots” are actually real people in foreign countries who get paid to spam forums.
was the weed thread closed so quickly because it’s considered as something illegal?
Why was the weed thread closed? I would just like to know…
It looks like I can’t edit my own post anymore. A little margin for error would be nice.

I got hella negative rep for this one post (200 to -40)… I thought it was just some guy spamming, I guess I know now that it was a “bot”.
But anyway, just wondering what the reason for that rule is? Didn’t even know bots could get through the word/number verification at registration, that thing alone was so warped that I had to attempt it like twenty times before I even got it.
Thanks.
EDIT:
Gonna answer it for myself, it’s probably just so that it doesn’t knock down other “credible” threads on the first page.
Just in case someone forgot.
