The link for introductions doesn't work...
Introductions
www.zoovilleforum.net
@dogluver101 some of the links in the rules use .org old url, I fixed some but I do not know what some of them are supposed to be. It is probably a good idea to go through them and fix the broken ones.

Thanks...Introductions
@dogluver101 @ZTHorse I think the information structure and rules need a bit of an update.
These things should be immediately obvious at first glance:
www.zoovilleforum.net
www.zoovilleforum.net
Everyone needs to know up front that to:
Joing groups,
Follow people,
Send pms,
They need 10 posts and wait a few days.
I would even go as far as to include those in the subject of the welcome mail or something like that.
Or an automatic PM when you register with this information.
The number of threads with people asking about this is ridiculous, clearly it is not clear. There are at least three new questions about this a week.
These things should be immediately obvious at first glance:
Private messages and why new members can't PM or join groups
Seeing as how people can't search, I'll sticky this in every single area of the forum. Due to the amount of spam accounts, we have restricted the PM function again. -New accounts will be REQUIRED to make at minimum 10 forum posts in relevant sections (not fun and games) to gain access to the...

Following permissions
@ZTHorse @SloppyTac0 @Oldman It has been brought up by myself and other many times before, but please look into implementing permissions that will allow users to prevent themselves from being followed. Following. Is. Not. Secure. I know for a fact there are bots capable of using follow...

No need for sql or custom BBCode or cronjobs.
In xenforo 2.1:
AdminCP -> Setup -> Options -> Censoring
Add *{URL or domain you want to censor}*
Example: *twitter.com* replaces any link containing twitter.com with ***********

worth noting that this will not censor old forum posts, for that you (i believe, might be mistaken) need to use a search and replace add on if you dont want to muck with sql queries. That said, these kinda find and replace addons, especially in large sites/forums, are very very system resource intensive and would likely require a temporary maintenance shutdown of the forum. they also have the possibility of breaking existing bbcode on accident.
edit: i believe there are xenforo addons that automatically move new posts/comments containing censored phrases to the admin queue for processing as well
@ZTHorse this looks quite promissing especially with this list:
Banned Websites
There has been a few postings from a certain website that is also housing CP. Do not post or even visit this website. Even just for zoo videos. There are plenty of other sites that have the same thing. Just without the CP added in. Links to this website will be removed. (Site name mentions mix...

There is a relatively high number of lurker accounts with pm disabled that are asking for account removal. Can you add a secondary method of contacting the admin for that case. Something like report your own profile?
www.zoovilleforum.net
I know that their requests will likely be denied, but even reading that will not deter people from trying and in some cases the request might be legit for safety reasons. So it is better to give them the correct consistent method of doing that rather than argue with them in countless threads.

How cute that you think they'll read such a changed message any more than they read the current.@dogluver101

I do not. But if it is there, then all you need is to link the thread to the question and there is no doubt what the user has to do instead of going through several posts about how to mention an admin and how they are not able to send pms and so on.
I am going to add that. Because that is not apparent to those without 10 posts. See the lively discussion here. The title no longer applies.
Can't join groups?
I'm still relatively new to the site still learning how to navigate it and stuff. I just realized that I can't seem to join groups, and I don't know how to get in touch with someone for support

I added this line, because some people asked me about it, I remember seeing somewhere that it was limited, but I can not remember which thread it was.

You spam any more, and I will ban you. Understood?

@dogluver101 I read through the rules again and I did not see any explanation of how warnings work.
In several parts it says that users will be given warnings, but there is no explanation of what it is and how it works.
Is there any thread that explains that you can get warning points, what they are and how many you can get until you get banned automatically and so on?
I suspect that when I warn someone and tell them they got one warning point which expires in 6 months, they actually do not know what it means.

Good idea.
Users should know what it means when they get a warning point.
This is not revealing any secret information.
I thought @FloofyNewfie had made a post about warning points and how many does what action.
He has a thread about ranks, but I do not remeber any about points.
I've made one in the DF about 1 vs. 2 vs. 3 vs. 5 vs. more than that. But for actual working of how many points initiate a ban and ban length, I could post that information. But it in the hidden staff member thread.
