Website issues and improvements.

The password reset thing that would allegedly FIX the temporarily unavailable error has STILL not been implemented...

 

What are the admins doing...?

[Jek Jek Roo]

I guess they're playing with aliens. Quit doing that! Take care about forum!

I'd much rather have them work on the shows...

Damn, another spambot... I need to be a mod, no one else is on when I am ( well, except Alyxx. But I don't think she ever logs out of here )

I'm on whenever you and Alyxx aren't, and I have experience... You, me, Alyxx for mods!!!

Between me an Bjossi, I don't think any spambots have been unpunished within the first 12 hours of their posts. But if you know of any, please feel free to report them.

 

I asked the staff if they'd promote some people to section Mods. FYI.

[BTGBullseye]

Oh, just an FYI... I've been getting the "Forum Unavailable" message every 4th or 5th page load pretty consistently today...

That's an Administration thang.

 

Us little enforcers don't have any power over that. (Nor do we care, it doesn't happen to us.)

[Bjossi]

Be quiet, Grave.

Be quiet, Grave.

I see what you did there.

[J.C.]

You guys are destined to do this over and over again....

 

 

 

EDIT: As I posted this, I got the "Forums Unavailable" message again. If you'll excuse me gentlemen, I'll go bang my head against the wall for a few minutes.

I have noticed some spammers recently, get rid of them.

I've dealt with several spam bots here recently, evidently they are getting through the 'enter confirmation code' bit. Another bot protection method might be needed like a simple sum or something.

 

If any of you see a spam bot post, please report it by clicking the little ! button on the post. It points it out to us staff.

The text images are completely useless, just a fyi. Q&A fed with clever questions will prevent all bot spamming, only human spammers will stand a chance.

Not unless you give them a complicated math question. Then they are all fucked.

Sure will.

Been doing that...

 

Are they all on different IPs? If they aren't, you should be able to IP ban the asswipe. (it's the same bot, just an FYI)

I second this.

[Bjossi]

There is no need to ban if we can prevent them from registering, which is exactly what the Q&A plugin is good at.

 

IP bans can potentially ban legit users as well so we should avoid that at all costs.

Do you know what the likelihood of banning a legit user is when IP banning? Less than 0.0001% decreasing exponentially based on your userbase... You aren't banning a range of IPs, just a specific one, which at most will ban a household. (unless it's a proxy IP, in which case they should be banned anyways)
