A rocky ride until we update the forum software
Posted: Thu Aug 30, 2012 8:39 am
EDIT: The forum software has been updated this post is no longer relevant.
I have just noticed xrumar has found this forum. It is a mass forum poster that can literally post 100's of messages per second over many different forums at once.
Now that it's found our forum we are going to get a quite a bit of spam but not to worry because summerlander and I will remove it within 24 hours of its post time. I personally log in every 8-10 hours so whatever builds up will be removed before it becomes too dominating.
What needs to be done is a software update on our forums to stop these bot users from signing up and generating mass spam. Luckily micheal should be able to do this soon and the bots won't be able to sign up and break the captchas anymore.
Btw summerlander did you talk to micheal about increasing our mod powers so we can delete entire accounts and all their posts. It's getting very slow doing it post by post... Even worse is the fact that they just generate more and more spam once we delete their old spam... They need to be gone once and for all.
