ACK! - Foxboy - 08-07-2006 Look at the Macross SEED thread! We've been spammed! ''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.'' -- James Nicoll Re: ACK! - Sweno - 08-08-2006 the purpose behind it eludes me. The bot places several strings of hex with links that don't work.

Okay, let me go report this. -- Bob --------- ...The President is on the line As ninety-nine crab rangoons go by... Re: ACK! - Bob Schroeck - 08-08-2006 Okay, I've submitted a ticket on this. I won't lock the thread, but when things are resolved one way or another I will delete the posts. -- Bob --------- ...The President is on the line As ninety-nine crab rangoons go by...

Re: ACK! - Bob Schroeck - 08-09-2006 If it does, we probably won't see it. -- Bob --------- ...The President is on the line As ninety-nine crab rangoons go by... Re: ACK! - Bob Schroeck - 08-09-2006 Official word: since the posts were made via an unregistered user, they can't do much about punishing the individual or account involved. The best they can suggest is changing the boards' security to prohibit posting by unregistered users. What do people feel about that? -- Bob --------- ...The President is on the line As ninety-nine crab rangoons go by... Re: ACK! - Logan Darklighter - 08-09-2006 I have no problem with it. How much hassle is it to sign up with EZ? How many people regularly post without an account here anyway? Not like it would change any of the regular's habits much. And if someone who is new _really_ feels like posting, it's 5 minutes extra to register. If it will slamming one more door in a spammer's/abuser's face, all the more reason to do it. -Logan ----------------- "This kind of thing tends invariably to devolve into the kind of "No, Nakajima, THIS is true power!!" argument that only really works if you're yelling it from the cockpit of a giant robot . . ." ----------------- Re: ACK! - Sweno - 08-09-2006 and the bot has hit again: ROTFL, Part II-Terry ------ "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." - Antoine de Saint Exupery "Luge strategy?

Registered users only can post messages from now on. Everyone can still read. I might relax this in a couple of months, but for the moment, I'm going to be strict. I turned on the admin option to see IP addresses for posters, and it looked like a botnet -- no two IPs the same. (I'd be very surprised if we were the only board affected.) And besides, it'll help those of you who accidentally find themselves posting as an unregistered user. -- Bob --------- ...The President is on the line As ninety-nine crab rangoons go by... |
