Andy 60 Posted March 7, 2006 Due to the obscene amount of bots that are registering I have banned all email addresses from a couple of free service providers. These are: allhost.co.uk mail.ru If any current genuine members have an @allhost.co.uk or @mail.ru email account and experience any problems, please let me know. Thanks.

Tsl 7 Posted March 7, 2006 Ugh, you have a bot infestation too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue 4 Posted March 7, 2006 yup....I'd say we do Kill the bots! Rawr! :twisted: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsl 7 Posted March 7, 2006 I put in a visual confirmation thingy. Seems to have eliminated the problem so far. *shrugs* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue 4 Posted March 7, 2006 Do we have a visual confirmation thingy B? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted March 7, 2006 (edited) We do, but they seem to be able to get past it. They (so far) haven't yet been able to post due to the code sent out in registration emails not being verified. But its getting annoying having to delete around 5 users a week because they are just spam bots attempting to register to post.

Chickenman 9 Posted March 7, 2006 What if somebody who genuinely had one of those emails wanted to register? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted March 7, 2006 Then I'm sorry, but they should get a better host that doesn't like spammers :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted March 8, 2006 Besides, don't we have it set so that banned members can post in here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted March 8, 2006 If I remember correctly, anyone that we apply a "banned" mask to is allowed to post here in the senate only so that they may plead their case. That doesn't work if a mod suspends the account though, only if an admin does all the behind the scenes banningness Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue 4 Posted March 8, 2006 That's interesting. I didn't know that. Makes sense though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy 60 Posted February 18, 2007 (edited) Getting annoyed! I have now banned all email addresses ending with .biz or .info :mad: Edited February 18, 2007 by beeurd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ana 15 Posted March 8, 2007 People have been spamming some of the blogs, as guests. Is there a way to remove those comments? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted March 8, 2007 there's a checkbox under your blog settings that will disable guest posting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ana 15 Posted March 8, 2007 It's not my blog... I don't have a GB blog. It's Rogue's and DarthDooku's blogs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted March 8, 2007 (edited) admins might be able to fix that, but if not, Rogue/Dooku will have to do it. EDIT: ok, mods can delete the individual comments, but can't get into the blog settings Edited March 8, 2007 by Sassy Fairy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted March 9, 2007 Dammit! lol Okay, there is no mass-delete option for blog comments. I have now disabled Guest commenting from the Admin panel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
