Cyanide said, February 19, 2010, 06:55:14 amPM's not an issue for me. I still get the popups and all fine. However this bot shit is getting more annoying.How about a simple "enter these randomly generated numbers" thing during registration. I believe that stumps most of them.They're starting to use real people which is why some of the human verification techniques no longer work. Requiring someone to answer a simple mugen related question might be a better option. even something like Q: what is the focus of this forum? (answer must be lowercase with no spaces or punctuation) A: mugenOther options are banning the email services they use, word filtering something in the links they always post, try to extort money out of them, etc. I would think banning is preferable to deleting the accounts. If you delete them, they can just come back with that same email to reregister. I set up a bots usergroup which requires that they change their password every day (and they get an email telling them so), but the usergroup still wont allow them to read or post.
I ban the emails and THEN delete the accounts. ( usually banning the mailservers if they are unique to them) But yes, those are nigerian operated or something. They have a real guy doing the registration, then he turns on the automatized posting bot.
Sometimes when I try to post with the quick post box I get this when I try to post.QuoteYou cannot post in the archive. Go to the regular forum instead.
Valodim said, February 20, 2010, 04:52:54 pmreally? do you ever view the archive? Barely, only when I need to look up an old thread or post, which I have not done in quite a while.I got it again when I was about to post this post.
Think I'm gonna do the smf2.0 change some time soon, and split off the archive stuff for good at that point, so won't go hunting for that one now

Hm, the timeout is actually reasonable, no idea why it loads the page like forever until it reaches that timeout. Weird I hate it when we have errors I have no idea about
Profiles no longer show display name and user name. Was that intentional?Displaying both names made it easy to keep track of who was who.
