Hall of Fame to Go Members Only

May 2nd, 2008 by admin

We Hate Spam and We Hate CaptchasWhen you create something you like on Generator Land and you want to save it you have two options.

  1. Save it to your member page
  2. Save it to the Hall of Fame

Historically, we’ve let anyone post their stuff to the Hall of Fame, which was really cool when we started out. We vividly recall the day the Willy Name Generator struck a chord with an Irish Rugby forum and we received 1,600 submissions within an hour or two. However, we’ve begun getting a lot of spam through the submission form lately and we’re not big fans of imposing captchas on our users every time they want to submit something.

So we’ve decided to make the Hall of Fame a “member’s only” feature in the near future. You’ll just have to take a moment to sign up the first time and then you’ll be free to create and submit to your heart’s content. Everyone will still be able to view the Hall of Fame, but only members will be able to add new stuff to it.

Since being a member is free and requires nothing more than a username and password, we don’t expect the number of submissions to drop much. We love those submissions and personally approve/disapprove each one. And if you know any spammers personally, tell them we hate them.

About The Generator Land Blog

Generator Land is devoted to wasting a lot of your time in the best and most random way possible. The Generator Land blog does the same except there’s more text. Our goal here on the blog is to give you a peek at what’s shaking at Generator Land now and what’s coming in the future (when and if we sober up). We’ll also spout off randomly about other things as we’re wont to do. Feel free to leave comments attacking our character, suggesting brilliant generator ideas, or, hell just letting us know how your day was today. We’re here for you.
