Post by: HOUSE on December 27, 2012, 06:26 pm
Are there no forum mods at all here? What the fuck?

posted a similar thread the other day, maybe we need mods from different time zones too? just to reduce the number of posts that would spike a certain time of the day?

What we need is a 'mark as spam' button. When so many people click it. The post goes away. Mods deal with it when they can.

+1.  I would add that anyone caught abusing this button gets their account suspended.

Can't a simple software tool check the most recent threads for repetition of the exact same subject over and over and automatically ban the users and delete the threads?

If this is being handled manually then they will always have their lame scam adverts up all over. They are using software to spam us, we need software to fight them.

I understand security is an issue but the simple machines forum is used by many websites, a patch can be produced for all SMF forums and applied here. There is no need to bring the programmers into the inner circle.

I said that before, and it's correct. *snort* Someone said you couldn't post repeated threads but that cleerly not the case. Also, today is the first time they have been able to time bump. How the hell is it even possible to do that? Check out the time modified. It was either originally posted earlier, and somehow bumped up without it being manually bumped, or, they have pre-readied tons dozens of spam ready to go instantaneously, creating them without creating them on the Main board.

I would volunteer but I just a boar and no little of computers.

What bugs my hyde is that they are able to either fill out or by-pass the Verification catchpa for each posting. I didn't realize a spam bot could do that. But don't yoo have too register to post? I don't knoe how you could do that anonymously.

Even a pig is not this low. My filthy mud-loving cousins are waaaaaaay classier than this spammer, and all we do is lay in mud all day. *splash* But seriously, someone get rid of this busturd.

I have noticed that if you open a dozen tabs for posting that they all have the same captcha, you can then solve it once and copy and paste for the rest. This should not be the case, it is a bug. It is likely the software requests the post page a few hundred times, then a human enters the captcha ONCE, then the computer submits them all with the same answer.

This would be resolved it captchas were not reused like they are.

Maybe there's a reason they've kept it like this, but I think it would be extremely easy to modify the PHP script that handles the posting and include a spam phrase filter check. This would be executed right after the post button is clicked, so it wouldn't even get posted if it fails the check.

Personally I would use an SQL table to contain the list of phrases, but for the sake of a very lame example:

if (isset($_POST['subject'])) {
   $arr = array("Official BTC Shop", "spam words", "more spam words");
   foreach ($arr as $word) {
      if (strstr($_POST['subject'], $word)) {
         die;
      }
   }
}

Gotcha Tess. And that is definetely a bug, or at least it is now. This is not DPR's fault. It is a quirk in the simple machines forum software. Another thing. Bee-Eye-Bee -- not how you spell it -- has caused more trouble than JoyWind with their trolling in verious threds like How would SR attack LEO. I'm hoping thy go for good. JoyWind had a really shitty day I think. But Bee-Eye-Bee is psycvhiatrically disturbed and needs urgent medical intrevention. This wooman is sick.

This is a warning -- best be on extra high gard from this moment when dealing with new sellers. May attempt to open a sellers account which is bad for most as most give correct address details. Bee carefool.
