So the spambot IP ban-plan is impossible to imlement for CDZ I suppose..?

I think you or Meli are our best hope currently at doing something about the spambots, as you two seem to be the only active admins around CDZ these days that have power at a level to actively change things. So you guys are probably the only ones available to answer questions on possibilities for CDZ to help fight this problem.

Oh noes, we're doomed, DOOMED! Well, then you'd have to bump Meli, he's the technical guy. I'm just here for the show

Anyway, this discussion fits nicely into the "what do we want" thread that I tried to revive last week. I have no clue what we can do with snitz, but IP-banning seems like a useful feature.

Far be it from me to bitch about spam, but the ones cluttering up the open thread forum are starting to get annoying...

My quick dive into snitz support forum gave me something for you to work with. Now get to work. Of course by "you", I really mean

, and by get to work, I really mean that Meli should have had those mods installed already

I spam therefore I am!

Seriously though, I've been bloody up to me armpits at work at the moment and barely have time to move threads to the SpamCan...

I will (and I mean I will, not a Propain "I'm about to have a baby" I will) get around to implementing some of the stuff the Scandinavian SpamCat mentioned. Today! or tomorrow... you get the gist.

Shabbaman · 05-03-2007, 17:39

You are my hero!

Melifluous · 07-03-2007, 18:18

Right you bastards!

Anti-Spam (alledgedly) CAPTCHA crap enabled.

Spent the last hour amending asp files (very scary), pursuading the forum I was THE ADMIN (I love being able to amend the asp that checks if I'm the admin [

]) and stopping and restarting the damn forum itself.

Apologies to anyone trying to post anything during this time.

Also anyone who wants to try creating a new user and seeing if it works, feel free.

Also any problems with the forums please blame Shabbaman

Let's see how the spambots deal with that!
