Gfy cleanup: phone- and domainname verification?
 

Takes a bit of work but im sure someone cool and respected (like me) could taje this work from the very busy gfy staff.

1. Add phonenumber verification. Code gets send to the new member that needs this to complete registration.

Step 2. staffmember verifies at least 1 site or domain. Either by using whois, or have him upload a specific file with code to hus server.

If he cant do both, it would be obvious.

Yes, its more work. Lot can be automated, and then again a mod has to approve new members right now too. So it wouldnt be to timeconsuming.

And off course proxies are simply forbidden.

I'm for whatever needs to be done to get the fakes & surfers out of here.

This could be a great board if it was really cleaned up a bit and they stayed on top of it.

The best way to clean out the riffraff would be to allow advertisers only. Man, that would sure show them.

1. I don't have a phone.

2. My domains are equipped with domain privacy.

Not fair. What if I have a couple of employees that use same IP and do not have domains?

Yeah, that sort of thing would make it a pain. Not to mention the whole feeling of feeling as if you are somehow being challenged or asked to prove yourself for the privilege of posting. I like GFY. It's still the most active adult industry forum but let's be honest. It's 2010 and GFY isn't the only bar in town.

Agreed.:thumbsup


Anyone who has been here for a bit knows who you are. You really don't need any verification.


Or i can verify you now:

Amp is a crazy talented genius graphic designer who is very opinionated (we share a lot of the same opinions) poster who uses facts he finds online to support his opinions/arguments.

Usually he ends up in pissing matches with trolls that cannot intelligently disagree with him and his opinions.


And when he doesn't take his meds, Look out!! Because Everyone will be on his shit list! lol, J/k



There are people here that are so obviously in this business, that verification would be a waste of time. But there are others that truly have no business on this board. Those people need to find relevance in this industry or get off of this board.

nope, that means less views.

Exactly. Glad we can agree on this.

That shouldnt be a problem. It would be easy to either show a post on any of your sites or upload a verification document to a server that can be downloaded to the only 2 persons that know its there: you and a mod.

Btw. not aiming this at you, obviously you would be one of the few to stay on here.

Thats the lame excuse people use that have fake nicks. Go fuckyourself fagboy.
If a serious company owner has some employees that he wants to have posting here, it would be easy to fix something up.

All you do is post here to get some views on your signature. I bet you wouldnt even be here if signatures where turned off. Dead ass.

there would be no one left. bad for ad views.

You sure put a lot of tought into an internet venture that doesn't belong to you...

/thread :2 cents:

But my employees are retards. Marco is a drunk and drug addicted moron. And Eastwood has IQ of a brick. What do I do?

For some reason, I don't think your plan will increase GFY's ad revenue.

Or how about GFY create a separate sub-forum for every poster with 10,000+ posts? Then every member can have their own little piece of internet paradise, and run it as they see fit.

No one would. :2 cents:

Dumb idea, IMHO. :2 cents::2 cents:

If they get rid of all the fake nicks, surfers, trolls, misfits, mental patients and scammers....... GFY would only have about 10 posters left. It would not be much of a board. :winkwink:

Age verification, fingerprints, DNA and body scan.

So now we have a self-admitted TROLL suggesting ways to "clean up" GFY from all the...Trolls.
Top notch idea there, Skippy. Suggesting yourself a la Cheney was a special move, too.

PS: Wait, wait, it says you're a "Webmaster" and you're Dutch so I guess you can be forgiven such a lame-ass "idea".
PPS: Wait, wait - naming yourself after a Johnny Depp Pirate Movie puts you back in the shithouse.
PPS: I forgot: Shithouses are a fetish in Dutchland.

Aw fuck it, I like you anyway. Argggg!

Carry on.

Once again Ms. Rand, you have crystallized my thoughts.

dead ass is the word of the day...LOL...fucking retard. Another GFY millionaire

That one sentence there is the flaw that makes your plan and many others like it not feasible, practical or very likely to happen.

sounds like a plan but the bad thing about all this is that GFY its a site for webmasters to hang out to talk about success and how can they unite together on making more.. u make it sound like right but at the same time looks like ur looking for a job.. if im wrong kill me with no mercy

Then we should agree that gfy is NOT a place for adult webmasters to do biz then?
No offense, but no wonder the adult scene is going down like a brick if the only reason people post here is spamming their signature.

Btw. im not an expert but i NEVER click anyones signature. It really brings in money?

I will forgive your raciss ass because you love me.

Go to a fag club with your fag jacket and fag face, and cry about it :1orglaugh

What about this then: We make a seperate forum JUST for this purpose. Doing biz. Then people who come here for SERIOUS shit can get in there without all the dumbass nitwits that use the board as a social place to vent their real life failures.

That be something?

The automatic site verificationn could be put together. Ban all free hosted URLs and whatnot, give the user a specified .html file which needs to be uploaded. Then verify the URL it has been uploaded to in the system. Something like that could work to an extent, it wouldn't solve all the problems though. It could probably be cheated easily enough y someone looking to do so too.

Why not open a paid section, as opposed to makig the whole forum paid? You see this on a lto of mainstream forums. Charge $100/year or something for access to the paid forum. Only people who pay to get in are allowed in, only business is allowed, and failure to adhere to the rules in said section results in forfeiture of your fees and access. It gives the serious members a place to hang out and discuss biz, some people would ever leave this area, and the hangers on a surfers still have access to the rest of the forum. The $100/fee should more than pay for the mod's time taken to verify industry role and perhaps even hit up references to verify industry participation, while adding an additional revenue stream to gfy...

Sounds interesting. You can have as many phone numbers and domain as you like though. It's hardly way of verifying anything.

It could work - but only if all existing biz threads are moved to that section.
Then the free parts of the forum could also be opened for search engines again.

Haha :thumbsup

Not fair here...I have my phone but my domains is encrypt with privacy lock.

french forums do it and it makes the boards MUCH MORE productive
no trolls

It is obvious by this question that you are not an expert and do not even understand the basics. When you watch tv, do you have to click the commercial in order for the advertiser to see value?

And all French people, right?

If you are aiming at brandname awareness?
A tv commercial is hardly comparable to a forum signature.

You're right, it is a lot cheaper. What about billboards? Is there no value in them either?

If you want to have a discussion about branding, brandawareness or commercial marketing be my guest but i dont see what it has to do with this thread?

You are comparing billboards and tv commercials with a button, banner or textlink on an internetforum? Yes off course they are a lot cheaper. Wanna know WHY?

Why do you think people are going after clicks versus impressions? I can give you 100million impressions, but if nobody clicks it why bother (unless you have a billion dollar company looking to get your name out). Most people that are on gfy dont have that big of companies however. But you are right, i never was a sigspammer so what do i know right.

Again, way different discussion i would continue but in another thread if you are ok with that.

You are the one that brought up sigs, not me. Pretty sure you have made comments re: sigs a couple times in the last 24 hours.

here are two things I find comical about this thread.

1) The idea that GFY would somehow be a better place without the input of the few surfers that sneak in...It would not.

2) That there is something special about being a webmaster in the adult industry. This is worlds easiest business to get in to. Anyone can buy a domain name and set up a free link site in less than an hour. If you don't know what you are doing, the helpful staff at godaddy will walk you through it, or you could hire a guy in India off scriptlance to do it for you for about $25.


face it people - this is the kids table.
