Non-Guest Account?

[e MpTy]

I am sure everyone here is quite annoyed of spammers but us "guests" suffers as well, currently waiting to get back into Ventrillo.

For the first time ever I realized why don't we have a non-guest account?

I am sure everyone is tired of not getting in due to lock outs due to spammers.

Is there anyway possible in the world of Ventrillo we could make a Non-Guest Regular Member Account? I am quite sure you can, most of all why did'nt we do that in the begining?

Can there be nothing done about this besides kicking us the "guests" even though I've been with eGO for close to 9 months now, I'm not a guest.

We aren't registering thousands of users. The database will clunk out.

Hmm thanks Dominion for responding so fast, that's to bad I wish there was a way I guess not :/

Once again thanks for responding so fast.

What about having only eGO members and above registered? Theres not thousands of us eGO's are there? And maybe have eGO members have the basic ability to kick spammers and such?
Because usually eGO members are easier to get a hold of on vent than Advisors or Council members are, so spammers could get taken care of more quickly.

It's not easy to add users let alone admins. It would be a management nightmare unfortunately.

Also, we always have advisors, house leaders, dls, or council members on vent, who can kick spammers, so not having enough people to admin the vent shouldn't be an issue

Management nightmare yes....

Not easy to add users or admins? That's a lie, with Ventrilo 3.xx all you have to do is...

Right Click -> Server Admin -> User Editor -> New -> Select Name -> Assign Password -> Load Profile -> Basic User/Basic Admin -> Add

That will give them basic user rights and/or basic admin rights so you don't have to go through each checkbox on each tab.

Done, simple, easy, takes about 30 second to a minute depending on how fast you are. It does however take alot of time to get a billion users setup and it would be hard to manage, but as far as the database goes, you can add as many users as you want and it will not effect the ventrilo at all.

But, you already know this.....

Would you like to help add 10,000 members to our vent database?

Adding 500 members to our database would take atleast 2 hours.

There are 10,000 members on the site.

Not easy.

I know how to add users to Ventrilo. I think you misunderstood my definition of 'easy.' Keep in mind users will need to be constantly updated as they move up and around in eGO. That's definitely not an easy job.

The user management dialog already lags with ~100 admins. I could only imagine a user database in the couple thousands.

The user management dialog already lags with ~150 admins. I could only imagine a user database in the couple thousands.

That's strange, I have a Ventrilo server with roughly the same amount of user profiles as that, and the User Editor doesn't lag a bit, ever.

Seems more like a client problem than anything else. Does it do it for everyone with User Editor access?

Edit: It is hosted on typefrag, great host.

Edit: Sorry if this whole thing came off as a bit rude. I didn't intend it that way, but it seems to have turned out that way.

Maybe you guys could make a vent account for those of us that are on at least 4 hours a day? I know a few members other than myself that are on vent regularly every day. You wouldnt have to give us admin, just access to vent when its locked or something.

 

[Dominion]

Ventrilo is unlocked 99.9% of the time. There is honestly no reason right now to add in accounts for non-leadership members.

Okay, just asking dominion. Hopefully vent gets updated soon...
