Post by: JiGSaW on August 26, 2007, 06:24:28 PM: I think jits should make it so you have to be registered to view the forums. Anyone else think the same?
Title: Re: All Alone
Post by: KiLo on August 26, 2007, 06:27:47 PM: Don't make it registered to view but make it registered to post even in Help & Support since there has been an outbreak of spamming there.

Title: Re: All Alone
Post by: KnacK on August 26, 2007, 07:51:54 PM: Agreed KiLo,

At least that will slowdown spam.
Or, is there a captcha ad-on where you enter a captcha code even to post anonymously?
I know some forums I frequent have that capability.
Title: Re: All Alone
Post by: y00tz on August 26, 2007, 09:32:17 PM: We discussed CAPTCHA Friday in CSC. :P I would think the modern spam company can easily break a CAPTCHA code by simply copying the image, relaying it back to their site, requiring a user to answer it to access the spammer's site, then, possibly equipped with the correct code, the bot would return to the original form.

However, I think it'd be more beneficial now, to allow everyone (registered, unregistered, bots, etc.) to VIEW the forums, however remove 'guest posting' in it's entirety so that more users will be registered users, of whom we can tie a static name to, and keep on an eye better.

Post by: KnacK on August 26, 2007, 09:36:17 PM: Unfortunately, if you have a registration issue there is no way to inform the admins of it.

Unless makes an easy link for registration issues that emails himself.
Title: Re: All Alone
Post by: Eiii on August 27, 2007, 12:41:34 AM: I think we should just disallow guest posting. It'd stop spam, and accounts that spam can be easily deleted.

Jesus nobody listens to KiLo. I have already said that twice in this thread.
Title: Re: All Alone
Post by: Eiii on August 27, 2007, 02:46:35 AM: Okay, so I agree. :P
Title: Re: All Alone
Post by: Fullmetal_Steeb on August 27, 2007, 10:54:28 AM: If you don't let guests post in H&S, how are silly little noobs who don't know how to register going to get the help they need? And trust me, if they don't know how to register a forum account, they definitely need it.
Title: Re: All Alone
Post by: Apocalypse on August 27, 2007, 11:00:00 AM: How did this topic somehow completely change topic to spamming guests?

What if somebody is posting the help and support section because he can't get his account to work? That's kind of the point of it. If I can get captcha set up for guest posts, though, that should eliminate most spam bots. It seems to have killed almost all of the registered spammers.

I hadn't seen that happen in so long, I assumed it never happened. :-\

Moderating will be so easy if we get captcha'd guest posting...

Post by: jitspoe on August 29, 2007, 07:48:35 PM: Meh, I just set it to require accounts to post for now.
