Beware Spammers
Posted on Tuesday, 6th February 2007 @ 11:46am
Please be aware of spammers attacking the forums lately. Alot of their posts have been deleted and the perpetrator(s) banned.
However due to the volume of spamming please be patient before a mod is online and able to deal with it. If you do come across any please alert a mod or Admin.

aint there no way to create a forum bot that can automatically boot ppl posting explicit/filthy material? Like this sicko who keeps returning with different id's. it's putting me off the forum

Im not sure about if using a bot would work in this case ... but there are various admin toolkits that may do the job.

Drupal (the proposed replacement to phpbb) has a few of modules which would help.
1. it compares the posts with previous ones. if they are too similar it does not allowo posting.
2. Another allows users to rate posts as spam. get past a threshold and it will get removed until a moderator approes it.
3. you can have a maximum number of links per post.
4. It can also use the akismet system whereit will compare parameters with stuff from the akismet service. if ti deems it spam it will not allow it to be posted.
And I should be able to move all information across without data loss.
I just need a webmonkey to step up and port one single module (webmonkey thread in the dudes forum...), which I can probably do myself but I just cannot find the motivation to do. yet.

All three sections (General, Events & Tech) were attacked this morning with spam. I had to spend half an hour cleaning it up and banning the members.
Admin you know what needs to be done.

How soon can we expect it and will we loose our current threads and posts? Will it be obvious we are no longer using phpbb?

Noor, answered question 1.
We will not lose our existing topics and posts, however some links may stop working.
As for question 3, it will be obvious as I will use the default drupal theme for starters.
I am just procastrinating atm. looking for solutions to problems we will probably not have.
Besides once the forums have been moved, then there will be the arduous task of moving all posts from the website across aswell... that will have to be done manually.
