Did that Carinsurancequotes bot have a valid email address, or was it actually exploiting something (hope not; I'm paranoid, though )? It seemed to get around to posting about as fast as the bots did before the new measures were implemented. ![]() |

Well now it doesn't look like there's anyone human behind this. They probably just improved their features to get past all the anti-spam features.

E-mail validation is probably something that bots could be programmed to deal with- did anyone take a look at what the spambots were using for e-mail addresses before evaporating their accounts?

I think I'm gonna agree with BMF on this one. Most of the admins have had to prune the spamusers anyway, so manual validation wouldn't be that much of a step. I mean fuck, there's like eight or nine of us (me included), so I think with that many people admining it, it wouldn't take long for someone to jump in and do a spambot sweep.![]() -------------------- |

Let me just say that I, for one, really dislike manual approval, and have no intentions of implementing it.
However, I will be looking into other methods of stopping the spam issue. -------------------- For what do you wish? Xkeeper the Administrator St:25 Dx:18 Co:18 In:21 Wi:23 Ch:13 Neutral S:179947819019 Astral Plane $:0 HP:7791(7791) Pw:138(138) AC:-36 Xp:192/98796729 T:1418 Burdened |

| Didn't you do something on an old incarnation of the forums wherein there was a hidden field that auto-banned bots, that field being something they almost all would do upon sign-up? Perhaps that would work again. |

The Planescape Torment article should be featured, it's high quality and rich in content.
http://tcrf.net/Planescape:_Torment This brings me to wanting a feature that allows users to nominate the articles. |

Soo, what do we do with Nintendo DS title screens? At the moment it is a mess, with some pages using only the top screen and others using both. Which one should we use?

| If the 'other screen' is little more than a separate screen with, say, a "Touch Here to Start!" message, I'd probably consider removing it, though. Of course, that could bring up potential problems - don't Desmume and No$ take captures of both screens at the same time? - someone less experienced in graphic editing could possibly lower the quality of the image considerably while trying to crop out the lower screen, for example. |

Of course, if a contributor cannot even crop a screen properly, what is he supposed to do here?
I don't think that should be an issue at all. -------------------- |
