Well, it looks like we've blocked our first spammer, still waiting for a message from Dave.

By the time I've added new fields to the database (which requires some work with Dave) I'll probably be able to have the other stuff done.

Turn off the emailing proxy, and add a custom profile field for public email addresses. This way, the user can have the option of adding a "junk" email address not associated with the email address used to register with the forums, aka, real email addresses, which they can check on occasion for legitimate emails. Alot of forums are using this strategy. |

I've had a ton of people (spammers) registering over at our Beggars forums, but I've set an additional authorisation on there - not sure how different this forum is, admin wise to vbulletin, but that was the only extra security feature, other than letting unregistered people have no access to any forums, (so they could actually see more not logged on!) and an additional authorisation from me. Bwhaaha. Power. But most of the time people don't get their notifications, cause they're leaving fake email addresses, so they're stuck in limbo. So they just re-register instead. Tsk.
Oh, and I got one too. So that's why I'm posting here, I don't feel left out right now! I've had one too! Can't remember who though, but I felt special, sent her all my bank information, my address, all my passwords, and posted my chequebook, as it seemed the right thing to do. |

Hmmm... odd. I guess I'll try deleting the account - the reason I don't generally delete them is they could use that same name again.

But I was! I was locking fatgirl and thought, hmm... 0 posts. They shouldn't be allowed to email until they've posted at least once. And then I read Derek's message. The man is a thief but damn it if he doesn't put some good moves together.

Yeah sure you were Dean, sure you were.
Stop trying to pass other people's ideas off as your own.

That would and I was actually just thinking about that when I locked an account. They all have no posts and are from Ivory Coast. Difficult, though.
Still, once I get this podcast out and finish my little move, I will be knee deep in spam-thwarting forum code and it will end this streak. I'm sorry it's taking so long to everyone.

Can we not infect these people with a friendly virus that might politely crash their harddrives?
It woud be cool if you had some kind of system where, for a user to send an email to another forum member, he or she would have to have a certain number of posts. Like 5 posts before you can access "other members." Not sure if that would help or not. |

That's interesting, I wonder if it took time to filter through the email system or if it's possible for them to spam from a locked account somehow...
Presumably the former, or at least hopefully.
Thanks for the kudos on the kudos sig. :) I love this show more and more each time I watch it.
