Unreal Software is a great place, it really is. It has helped me sooo much with my programming and 3d modeling skills.
But in the off-topic section about 100% (like this one soon will become) of the posts turn into a flame war with a couple of people arguing over something and calling each other idiots. I made this thread not for people to blame each other, but for the community to discuss ideas to 'clean up' the CS2D and more so the off-topic sections.

By banning people who post useless posts. (like you maybe?)
anyways moderators/admins have their ways so no need to discuss here,

Nothing will ever help. There's only one thing that would help. The ability to COMPLETELY ban a single person. Forever. But that's impossible because there is not a single way to clearly identify somebody (mostly because of the ability to switch IPs by restarting the router / using a proxy)

"All of the above" - and guess what: We're already doing all this but there are simply too many stupid idiots around here that don't give a fuck. They also would simply register new accounts (using proxies) if they would get longer bans. So simply banning all those idiots (much) longer is no effective solution.

So there is actually no known and working solution for this problem. Otherwise it would have been added to the website a long time ago already.

Clean up the file archive and delete any crap that gets uploaded. There, you have successfully reduced spam in the archive by 80%.

Just get more moderators to moderate the forum. Everything will be handled quicker and the "work" is spread over more people.

Agree with Yates.
Also add this maybe? You need at least 7 days, after your registration to post anything! (Or comment)

And yes. Clean up the file archive..

How to fix Unreal Software

By you and the rest of the people not making such threads/polls that have been made a lot.

You're forgetting about Facepunch, a community filled with trolls and people arguing by calling each other idiots and bla bla bla, similar to this community.

The file archive of course requires a clean up due to how it's filled with crap that no one likes, are stolen, etc.. etc..

#2 Solution:
More moderators that their countries are far away from you so if a moderator go to sleep, there is still some other mods that are online.

#1 Solution:
If they create a new account after being banned, ban them. If they registered a new one again, give the IP to a hitman to track him down and murder him.

Are you 8 years old? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard from you. Tracking the person who's doing that might have his identity and location faked. You might hire a Hitman that would kill the wrong person, even though that's not going to happen.

People wouldn't even be able able to register twice if there would be a way to detect this. There is no way (at least none that is appropriate and free).

This is just a very tiny list of proxies. There are thousands if not millions more. It's impossible to find them all.

-group moderators for stuff like a mod for cs2d files or off topic forums.
-moderator approval threads(for creating a thread)
-chat room for faggots who spam; this way they'll spam chat rooms instead of forum.
