Spam-Users
A lot of spam-users lately.
I think you have to protect the login against robots better, or are the paid new real spam users

Speak of the devil. 1 just popped up now.
I think this bulletin board is an old version and less savvy at bot detection.

Re: Spam-Users
I think it's both bots and spam. In my opinion it would be the best way if a new forum member is only activated after a really qualified posting. If a newbie can't wait 12 hours for his first posting, then the interest in Pb can't be that big.
sorry for my bad english
Re: Spam-Users
This! Great idea. And/or maybe they need to answer a simple coding question to join, such as:Josh wrote:If a newbie can't wait 12 hours for his first posting, then the interest in Pb can't be that big.
Code: Select all
What does DBZE mean with regard to 1/0?
Re: Spam-Users
Assign a few active people with limited forum moderator rights of enabling posting rights to a new user. When a new user posts, their posting goes to a queue and the user has to be enabled first to make their posting appear in the forum. Spam bots will never show up with posts again and the additional forum moderators could be limited to that specific right of enabling users to post.
But i dont know if this board supports a "soft" moderation like that.
ps: i know the ins and outs of several CPUs and their exceptions and obviously the devide by zero exception from cpu and language levels, but i never heard the abbreviation DBZE before so i would be out

Re: Spam-Users
The only way to block spammers (bot or human) in a forum is to leave new users in manualy approval for a while (A few posts are enough)mk-soft wrote:A lot of spam-users lately.

This is how most forums work and is the default behavior of phpBB (There is a "New users" group with "need approval posting permission"
After few posts a moderator transform them to an "approved user".
It's a little extra work for the moderators, but much less than having to clean up every day.

It's not a real abbreviation; I just made it up. But surely you could guess what it meant?Bitblazer wrote:i never heard the abbreviation DBZE before so i would be out
Re: Spam-Users
Wouldnt SpiderBasic be a way to create a new forum - maybe even with a chat, shared live coding and what not?
The forums now look so outdated

Re: Spam-Users
I prefer a functional simple forum like this one a lot over a fancy dancy super stylish animated flash/java/css+bootstrap forum which lags my machine or cant be displayed with some browsers, anytime. Because i come here for productivity reasons and not entertainmentMijikai wrote:The forums now look so oudated

PB is such a great language so i would favor a environment that may draw in more attention.Bitblazer wrote:I prefer a functional simple forum like this one a lot over a fancy dancy super stylish animated flash/java/css+bootstrap forum which lags my machine or cant be displayed with some browsers, anytime.

Re: Spam-Users
Again 10 spam posts here (by astao16).
This is very annoying!
What needs to happen, so that spam protection on this forum will be improved?
