Attn Jammyjim

please, for the love of god sort the forums out so these spam bots cant just post willy-nilly as they do now.

New accounts should be prevented from posting either :
  1. posts with urls in them until they have made 20-50 posts beforehand
  2. creating new threads within 2 weeks of account creation
  3. creating new threads until they have made 20-50 posts beforehand
Such a task is surely not difficult to do in php
Im nearly at the point where i send a pleading email off to the jolt techies to do it for you :crymeariver:

Re: Attn Jammyjim

As has been pointed out over and over again the hack to acheive this was broken by the latest update to the forums. Until the hacks made compatable theres nothing that can be done.

Also tbh some of your requirements are a little OTT imho.

1) AR can require a URL to be posted. Alot of people who run alliances havent got 20-50 posts as they dont have the time or inclimiation to take part in forums discussions
2) Should new people really have to wait two weeks to ask for help and advice on the forums
3) Should people really have to spend weeks or months buildingup posts to start a thread about an issue they have.

Re: Attn Jammyjim

they may be a bit on the strict side yes, but it would put a substantial dent in these spam bots / people.

For someone who knows php - it SHOULD be a trivial matter to code it. a couple of database lookups, etc.
does JJ actually know php? and if not hasnt the idea of getting someone who does to do it been brought up?

i really really really dont want to ask jolt techs to do anything since the last time they did, they broke the forums for a while - but its getting beyond a joke now

Re: Attn Jammyjim

If it is a bot then why not put up a nice bot-stopper with a fancy pic and all? This might be in place, but I wouldn't know as I haven't registered lately

Re: Attn Jammyjim

a captcha you mean, those can be bypassed easily enough if its a human being hired to spam forums - theres a slashdot thread on the subject here : http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/04/07/2059226

If it's a genuine thread then they can simply type a broken link (e.g. http:// www . example . com) and a mod can fix it afterwards. The issues seems to be that vb doesn't tell you that it's broken your link and so presumably a new user would just think they've got the mark-up wrong.

Anyway, if it was a real issue then certainly on GD you could easily extend some basic mod privileges to at least 10 - 15 people without too much worry (not that that would be necessary of course).

Re: Attn Jammyjim

Convince Jolt to let me use the vbulletin username and password and will happily install the hacks that could make this possible.

Until that time i cant unless you dudes can find the code to be inserted and removed via google (ive tried but no luck)

Probably the best way to solve it at present would be to extend supermod to a fair number of the present moderators. However I personally don't see much real need at present, the current supermods (JBG and Wakey) are active enough to take up the slack when the specific mods aren't around.
