Yeah, I think it's either an issue with Mint or with Photoshop CS2 (since it's older). I really don't care though, i'll deal with Vista (I don't think it's as bad as everyone says once you get it personalized and some of the annoying things deleted) ~razz~

Night everyone ^_^
 
Hi everyone, I've finished all my exams. Will now be very active for the next 2 1/2 months -D-
 
@Van1lla ™
What all did you do? Or can't you remember? ~lol~

I'm off to work (frickin' 8:45am), guess i'll be back later though it may be late, they arn't sure what we're actually going to do today ~neutral~
 
Long story but basically i applied to do another course when my current one finishes (3 weeks), but they said i cant unless i complete the current one fully. I said no, so they are threatening me. Its all good though i can win. -8)-
 
How is everyone today? I have a question to an admin, what does FP here do to battle bot spam? DNT is getting a lot of spam lately and its making moderating it a bit harder.
 
Well we do get a lot of spam but then thats one of my jobs, to control it by deleting the threads, then reporting it to Mike or another TL/Admin and they ban the bot. There is probably some things they use through registration to but im the infantry. -8)-

Anyway im good thanks Gim, hows you today?

Apart from having a crack team of Moderators, Team Leaders and Administrators...as far as I'm aware the only bot prevention we have in place is our little custom profile field:

We also have numerous Email & IP range bans in place from previous spam attacks ~smile~

Anyway for those who care I'm enjoying a day off work today. Sitting back, coding, swigging hot chocolate and easting plain digestives. Couldn't be better right now ~cool~
 
My day is pretty good van1lla 😀

Thats something I suggested to implement in registration, custom profile fields that are required are a good way to get rid of spam. The biggest problem is we are getting some porn spam with images and I don't think members are to happy when they see that on a domain forum -razz-
 
Have you checked to see where the images are hosted? If all of the porn is coming from one domain then put that into the word filter and make the replacement something like ** Spam, please report this post ** . That's something we also have in place here to stop people posting world of warcraft gold links etc...

Well Murder I suggested to place a block that won't let images come from sources other than known image upload sites, this will stop people from cookie stuffing which I believe these porn bots may be doing, although I didn't look that much into the posts.
