 Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2008 10:30 pm Post subject: Forum membership and spammers |
 |
|
To begin with, I will keep registrations open. I suggest that you register soon, before the spammers arrive. (They will.) Once the forum gets spammed, I will bar the doors with the usual security measures, and registration will not be as smooth any more.
I prefer if your ID is the same as your student E-mail account, but if you have a funny nickname that you want to use, be my guest.
What about users not taking the course? You are welcome, as long as you are here to discuss computer graphics, if not the course so the topic. But any political agitators or similar will be banned quickly. |

| We have now, unfortunately, had the first spammer. I may have to raise security measures soon. |

| Second one, and both were including revolting pictures (pornography). Absolutely intolerable, and so meaningless! I have now enabled account activation, if that doesn't help I will go to admin account activation or other measures. |

| Today, I added my own custom modifications to the PHP code, which should kill all spamming. I even put down the standard visual confirmation, which only served to stop legitimate users. I have also deleted all spam accounts (more than 400!) so now it is nice and clean. |
