Sars! 0 #1 Posted May 25, 2007 What's that with the SPAM? Grtz, Sars! ps: Cheap plane tickets WTF! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sir diesalot 0 #2 Posted May 26, 2007 The spam is a few bots just spamming any forum they can - ive seen this on other forums too. All that mana needs to do is make an image code for registration to stop the spam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lhorkan 0 #3 Posted May 26, 2007 Yeah. Mana is too lazy to fix it, apparently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mana 3,867 #5 Posted May 26, 2007 Yeah. Mana is too lazy to fix it, apparently. 2753[/snapback] Impossible to fix. The bots learned how to read the verification image as such I can't really stop them now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sir diesalot 0 #6 Posted May 26, 2007 well that sorta sucks. any way of making a different thing to stop them with your crazy mind? (i said that about your falling statues on dark messiah once ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lhorkan 0 #7 Posted May 27, 2007 It's easy to stop. Accounts can only be made with admin's approval. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mana 3,867 #8 Posted May 28, 2007 well that sorta sucks. any way of making a different thing to stop them with your crazy mind?

sir diesalot 0 #9 Posted May 29, 2007 pull out your mighty <insert weapon here> of u17r4 1337n355 and use it to find a hack to stop them from posting links. http://www.uesp.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2891 http://www.uesp.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1487 i got this from the UESPwiki site (unofficial elder scrolls -forgotten last word- wiki) where pretty much the same thing happened to them so they banned guest users from posting and they stopped posting of links if under a certain number of posts. Just my way of helping put with the clan.(i think the bribery may be working... at this rate i might get into the clan!) joke . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mana 3,867 #10 Posted May 31, 2007 Guests can't post... these bots here register, read the verification image, and check their emails to verifiy the accounts... Guest posting has never been enabled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sir diesalot 0 #11 Posted May 31, 2007 but the posting of links would be a good way of stopping them right? edit: the newest post really kinda justifies my posting of links. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lhorkan 0 #12 Posted June 4, 2007 Mana, like I said, make it so only admins can allow account creation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mana 3,867 #13 Posted June 4, 2007 Mana, like I said, make it so only admins can allow account creation. 2772[/snapback] You'd have to fix that function first... I can give you access to the files But i think it's only some mysql editing. Alternatively we can buy a real IPB license for about $70ish dolars for 6 months.
