Registrations will remain closed to the public throughout June, 2022.

When it comes to the people using their real names, I blame Facebook for forcing people to put their whole lives up for no reason other than so they can know literally everything about you mixed with literally every online process having a 20-page "you can't sue me" agreement that won't apply to 98% of people.

The rest I blame on people generally being stupid and/or reckless.

 

[BIG DADDY]

make newfags write an essay on why they would like to have an account as an referral contest.
It would weed out the retards and also make people who dont understand a forum make a fool out of themselves without doing much damage.

Just have them submit an example comment on any tranny thread to weed out anyone here for politics and not lols. Anybody who spergs, gets mad, power levels or goes on a tangent from either end of the political spectrum can go back to Reddit and we can keep the ones who can contribute actual funny, interesting or informative commentary.

 

[Corpun]

Let them in, the more retarded zoomers not knowing basic internet security to get laughed at the merrier.

 

[Pope Negro Joe Ver. XIII]

Newfags? In my KiwiFarms?

I blame Google.

We're coming up on the ten year anniversary of their policy switching from "Do not use your real name" to "Hey, you should use your real name" and I think this is what kicked off the general attitude shift.

The issue with summer users in particular is for whatever wacky reason all the best school shootings and shit happen in spring when suddenly you can go outside.

And as other popular websites continue to censor discussion retards from reddit that hear about KF from their equally retarded drama streamers come here without bothering to learn anything about how we're here to laugh at retards on the internet and not some edgy place to post their dumb zoomer takes on the latest dead preteens.

 

[Anstiv]

Summer fags literally BTFOd

 

[1440p Curved Monitor]

Honestly just close it for all of the summer to avoid the kids who are off from school.

Closing registration whenever a global event or relatively local event happens is a good idea. It is all but guaranteed that nobody joining to discuss such things is going to care about integrating to the forum proper.

 

[TV's Adam West]

I say close registration as a whole. We're full, redditniggers. You can crash at Ebaums world.

 

[Cpl. Long Dong Silver]

We must secure the existence of kiwi farms, and a future for shitposting

BAN EVERYONE FOREVER

 

[Agarathium1066]

Oh hey that's just like me. Did you also discovered the forum because of Christchurch?

Nah I came in due to a smattering of cows and being referenced to it thanks to Hamberlynn. Back when she actually did things worth keeping track of.

 

[TV's Adam West]

Alright welcome to banworld.
CLOSING REGISTRATION DOES NOT FUCKING HELP!

 

[Russian Bot]

Everyone saying charge a fee to join...getting payments to Null is basically Bitcoin or fuck all. A lot of people won't jump through those hoops. Yes, I know we don't want a lot of people...but not everyone is a Bitcoin user.

I'm still immensely butthurt about having a password on a wallet.dat from 2014 I didn't realise I had.

 

[Ruin]

I have to admit I've been curious as to why there are so many pants shitting newfags around lately. My initial guess was literal gayops for Pride month but I think it's more Fuentes orbiters trying to defend their spic manlet king's (lack of) honor. Either way, less newfags is a plus.
EDIT: Do you think one of the newfags is Fuentes himself? I wouldn't put it past him.

We've been in the news lately as the #1 anti troon site lately and troons are currently at least in America the sacred cows of the progressive movement.

I'd say it's that. We're getting both cripplingly autistic troon haters and cripplingly autistic troons and troon defenders.

 

[Null]

I can't really say I told you so because I didn't really predict it in this particular way, but I have been pretty strongly in favor of some real population control even before I became a mod and started "going hunting with a blindfold and a shotgun".

I also never expected it to be this bad either, so I actually don't know what to suggest to mitigate the problem. Registration can't stay closed forever. Maybe just opening them up in the dead of winter only? I dunno. Summerfaggotry is only part of the problem.

For anyone curious, he retired because I wouldn't let him ban anyone he wanted in A&H.

Why would you use your name (which no one cares about) instead of using your address or your cellphone number as your username? That's so 2010.

 

[Ridin' On My Scootypuff]

TBH I don't see the problem with having a mostly closed policy and then opening it up for a brief period so that lurkers can make an account every so often

Ban suppremacy also can I mod A&N now?
