ads and pornos?

[Sir Wolf]

why is there a spammer on here?

[Dragonlover]

Is that what that is? I thought it was just some idiot lacking in good taste or sense.....

[Das Bill]

The board seems to be getting hit by a lot of spammers (or maybe just one posting under different names), and I've tried to delete the posts as soon as I can. Ed gave me moderating abilities here once while he was away just in case, but I don't have the ability to ban users. I've let Ed know of the problem, though.

[Sir Edward]

Thanks for stepping in and deleting the messages. I've banned all the new users that appeared overnight (4 I think), and upgraded the forum software. Apparently there was a security vulnerability that was found and fixed this week.

I don't know if you have the privs to ban users, I'll have to check. But if you view a user's profile, there's a ban button in the menu on the left side.

Actually, the total was 6. I nailed them all now.

[Sir Edward]

One more change-- I've set it so that new users are not immediately activated. They have to respond to a test-email that is sent to them. If necessary I can set it to require an admin to approve all new registrations, but I'd rather not do that unless it becomes necessary.

... and it's become necessary. We had another one join, meaning they actually followed the activation email to complete the sign-up. All new subscriptions must now be manually approved. GRR.

I may flip it back sometime later after everything dies down, but we'll see.

I've also increased the CAPTCHA level to "high" instead of "medium", which may help a little.

Cool! Get 'em Ed!!!!!

[Sir Wolf]

i thought u were expanding our horizons of more than just armour porn

[Sir Edward]

Hah, now there's an idea. Armor porn.

I did do sort of a "romantic" armor photo once:

hehehe i bet Kat still said "NO!" hahahaha

[Dragonlover]

Thought the lighting and ambience was pretty good myself....

[Sir Brian]

Hey Ed was you looking to reenact that scene in the movie Excalibur?...You know which scene...

*Probably why Kat said no! *

[Sir Edward]

When it comes to that scene, all I can think of is armor bites... and there are some places you really don't want armor bites!

[Dragonlover]

Hey! THAT was the BEST scene in the whole movie!!! Lol!
