Hey Crew
First off, let me give you my apologies for the past couple weeks. I'm in the process of moving 2000 miles and starting a new job, so I haven't been as active. Last I talked to Mike, he was overseas for work. I know the guest validation thing has been a huge pain in the butt. This was originally implemented so that we could have less spam, but we didn't anticipate that every single one of us would get busy at the same time. Usually at least one of us is very active. To help remedy this, I have turned off admin verification for all new accounts. Instead, and I suppose I should've done this from the beginning, I have set up one of those random image displays for registering. This will make it so we don't have to approve every single account that comes in. On the other side of this, I do feel like we should have more mods to fight whatever spam we do get. Once the spam starts coming in again, I'm gonna start looking for people to help out. If you're willing to help, please let me know when the time comes. Ideally, I'd like someone that's been here for a while and knows the way things function. I'll give more details when the time comes. Ok well, have a good weekend crew. Any questions, as usual, feel free to pm me. Roy |

Just subscribed to a Forum the other day, and the first email I got was spam.
I remember reading someone suggesting that new members be moderated or that filters be put in place, but I can't find that thread now . :-( Having mods remove the spammers was said to work great because so many of our wonderful admin and mod team catch and delete those. However, it unfortunately does not catch those sent to subscribers. The spam had disappeared by the time I got around to logging on and checking, but it would be nice if subscriptions didn't generate spam accidentally going to our email inboxes. the solution is, of course, to unsubscribe, and I did that, but wanted to comment. My browser isn't letting me make more paragraphs now or edit this, so bye for now. really do appreciate the forums. sdjf |
