Maybe the problem is that I expected it to be easy and learned too late that is extremely challenging. The difficulty of life combined with the disapointment brought by major experience (love, work, friendship) keeps me up or makes me bury my head under the pillow.
-
well that is all very well but do you do anything for it
-
The forum is being hit by numerous new users. I've no idea what is going on. Several unsavoury posts have appeared and been deleted (I assume by Mince). (The deletions I mean). Quite bizarre. I hope it blows over.
Not sure if this thread is genuine or not...
Just checked this guy. There's a porn link in his profile. I'm going to delete him.
-
I've been deleting the posts, and banning the members, but I'm having trouble deleting the spammers' memberships themselves, Peepsie, so if you could do the honours. I think Mince must be in the gym or something.
-
I don't bother banning. I have deleted two members and removed the topics they started.
I don't know how the person above posted because guests do not have permission to post.

Just go to their profile and click Delete this Account. Tarquin, you are full admin so you have all the powers that Peepmaster and I have.

Did that earlier this morning with one, but then got a little confused later and couldn't find the delete option where I was looking (I'm in a little pain today...that's IN a little pain).
The person above joined up this morning - I've been getting several notifications of these new members as they come in today, and acting accordingly as soon as it's obvious they're not kosher.
-
The guy who started this thread has a .ru email (which I assume is Russia). His country of origin was down as Philippines, which is doubtful I would have thought.
-
You lads are great at sorting this out just get on with it and do it.
-
I think we just snuffed out another one between us. What shall we do with this thread? We could delete it, or leave it here as a testimony to how great we are at dealing with these things, as Peter so astutely points out?
-
I think we should leave it up for that precise reason Tarks.
I also feel that Mince should take steps to ensure that these jokers/robots aren't allowed to carry on with such breeches of security.
Get your breeches off, Mince.
-
He will fight them on the breeches
He wil fight them on the ether
He will fight them in the fields and streets
He will fight them in the hills
He will never surrender.
Go to it MINCE

Incy-Wincy-Mincy,

Two-four, three-four
Who the hell are we for?

Is that the skipping game you used to play as a young girl, Peepmaster?

No, that's a different one. ..0
Seriously though Mincey, can you do something to stop these weirdos posting?

No, he doesn't mean me and Peter.

Oh yeah, sorry. I meant the other weirdos.

Yes, but not at the moment.
I might upgrade the forum to 2.0 soon.
-
Thanks, Mince. I want you to know that we're all right behind you.
There is the option for new members to be approved before they can post, by the way. Would be a shame to have to implement it.
-
I thought about that also. If the current spate of bogus memberships continues (I think we've had ten so far today), perhaps we can implement that for a few days until whatever is causing this gets the message? It needn't put any genuine new membership applicants off.
-
I can install one of those "Enter the letters" things to get rid of robots.

It's good that we're being sensible, adult, and mature about these things, and anyway, I thought about it first!

I just had a look and there already is an "Enter the letters" thing there.
-
Yes, I'm guessing these are human approaches, or there'd probably be far more than ten today, but I don't know how it works, or why anyone could be bothered doing any of it (I guess there must be people out there who actually are desperately seeking viagra online).

Says who?

How fast am I in getting things done?
-
Yeah but I'd looked before you posted it, Geek.
-

Ah, but I did it before you looked and before I posted, half-wit.
-
Well, I'm glad that's sorted before we left ourselves open to all sorts of abuse.
-
I'm surprised nobody asked me to sort all this out.
-
We thought you'd be too busy setting your sun dial an hour backwards for the winter.
-
I've just deleted yet another TWO threads and new users. I have noticed that all these rogue threads are appearing in the same forum. I hope Mince or Roger manage to sort it out.

There are another 4 threads right now - it's like that game at the fair where you bang a gopher on the head but they keep popping up.

We were snook up upon while we were sleeping. Do they never sleep?

It would seem not, Vult. I awoke to another dozen of these new 'memberships' this morning along with at least half a dozen new threads started by them, and spent my first coffee of the day clearing up their mess. Enough already!
I have reset the membership process so that new members have to apply to the Three Caballeros (Peepsie, Mince 'n' me) before being allowed to post any silliness on the boards. Hopefully this will deter them from even applying, but at least it should avoid their presence being felt on the boards. I have made this decision unilaterally 'cos two Caballeros are still in their pit, and if they over-rule me so be it.
I don't think it will deter any serious applicant from joining our happy band (I estimate we get one of those every couple of months perhaps), and for the time being, I think it's a reasonable measure to take, and can be reversed at any time.
-
Tarks, I really appreciate you and the other guys sorting this out. The whole business looks extremely annoying.
-
A very wise decision, Tarks. I'm quite taken aback.
-
This is interesting. http://spamtrackers.eu/wiki/index.php?title=Forum_spam

Indeed.

Good decision, Tarks. Let's see how it goes.

Last night I looked at this board but was not logged in. This morning when I visited this site, I discovered that I was logged in without having done it myself. I logged out and now have logged back on to ask what has happened. Has your security been breeched?

Er....Mince?

I have no idea.
