Dan Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 We also get emails when you report stuff too
gruntmods Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 I have noticed this on my IPB as well.
fattwam Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 I think the latest xrumer has bigger IPB support ending up with more spam.
Quinn Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Posted February 3, 2011 I think the latest xrumer has bigger IPB support ending up with more spam. Perfect :/
gruntmods Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 I think the latest xrumer has bigger IPB support ending up with more spam.would explain email addresses ending in mail.ru
Quinn Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Posted February 3, 2011 I don't understand what people think they are accomplishing with spam, it does not make me want to buy their product, it makes me loose any trust I might have once had for their company.
Randomrocket Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 We also get emails when you report stuff too can I haz reconz? 1
Quinn Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Posted February 3, 2011 can I haz reconz? Wrong place, your gonna have to ask Bungie for that one. I'm sure they would be very receptive and helpful if you were to knock on their door (during office time of course).
gruntmods Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 I don't understand what people think they are accomplishing with spam, it does not make me want to buy their product, it makes me loose any trust I might have once had for their company.I turned on admin validation, even after the accounts are active, the bots give up by then.I also made it so when someone is flagged as a spammer, they have all their posts deleted and the account banned.

Rogue Modder Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 Peaches, just block emails with mail.ru extension.
iBotPeaches Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 I already did, the main problem is @gmail.com but I'm not blocking that. All the emails are like 12340912309@gmail.com, I could just re-enable email validation, but our emails don't get validated yet since I don't have rDNS setup, so 50% of our emails would be bounced. Once I don't have a single red X on this site: http://intodns.com/ibotmodz.net I can re-enable email validation.

iBotPeaches Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 enable admin validation, if the bot cant login it gives up. Members who register though don't want to wait for myself or fattwam to manually approve them. That would most positively push away any possible member.
gruntmods Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 Members who register though don't want to wait for myself or fattwam to manually approve them. That would most positively push away any possible member.I guess just increase the power of the flag as spammer feature.

iBotPeaches Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 captcha system upon confirming email or something? They beat reCaptcha on sign up, probably using decaptcher. So probably wouldn't help and would make annoyances for real members. Nice suggestion though.
Randomrocket Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 They beat reCaptcha on sign up, probably using decaptcher. So probably wouldn't help and would make annoyances for real members. Nice suggestion though.........homebrew captcha system? lol 1
