Someone stated this before but the forum software has to have a no-post for the first 24 hrs/no thread starting for 7 days for new users feature.
That way handles that look like they might be bots can be deleted before ever having a chance to spam.

I have no idea if SMF has a moderated post option, but if not the code is open source and a mod might not be too difficult to implement. In the case that a mod like this would be something the powers that be interested in, let me know and I'll see if I can write the code. I've been on the code team for several server apps including one of the major forum packages. I might be able to pull it off. I'd envision making it so that all posts by new members must be approved by an admin/moderator before being public. That's how it works in the code I have worked on before.
-
OK so I just read up on SMF a bit. Seems there is a feature called membergroups that would be helpful in this matter. I am not going to go into a full discussion of how it could (should?) be set up. No need give info to the black hats if they cannot figure it out for themselves. If any help is needed in setting this up (should it be desired) just let me know.

I'm more disappointed that some of the regulars can't detect what new threads are spam and simply ignore them than I am that this free service for us that, for the most part, allows for us to be socially retarded isn't up to their high standards.
-
that's a really awkward sentence, but agreed.
still, if we can implement a quick fix to cut out this crap... why not?

did you have a brain tumor for breakfast or what? did you read my post?
here, let me refresh your aging mind: "seperate threads that you can tell are fake are one thing . . . but when they start appearing in random threads"
i guess if i would have included some iphone bullshit, it would have been ok?

Don't you like porn?

I did not like this particular bit of porn... too "porny"

me so porny

hah!

wow, persistent little buggers ;D

You're on a music message board while you're at work. Forgive me if I have little sympathy for you that it's the porn that might get you in trouble.
That being said, I don't think the spam gives you the right to tell the mods to "fuck off" and to call them names when they're providing you a free service just so that you're not bored at work.
Leave the board then if it's that much of a problem for you. Like those that have come and gone before you, you won't be missed as much as you hope.

Markie.

i'm not hoping to be missed. and yes when i'm at work, i like to come on here to escape the drone. but since i'm the asshole here, i guess i'll leave.

double hah!

why is walkys name in white? is he gone, oh no :o

I don't see why there's a need to blame the messenger..
Everyone benefits if the board has less spam, etc. I assume
-
we can't lose walky, who will show the cat pics? ;D
-
Yawn...drama.
-
Wow.....Just think if walkie was on here in the bad old days when rhett was, well, rhett and we had markie and his missus posting. Even GGW was angry back then.
-
we can't lose walky, who will show the cat pics? ;D
maybe the same person who started the posting-of-cat-pix thing on this board? (hint: it wasn't walkonby)
p.s. $10 says walkies is back on this board within a week. any takers?

It's an absolute lock he's following this thread more closely than he's ever followed one.

HI WALKIE!!!!!!
;D
-
Wow.....Just think if walkie was on here in the bad old days when rhett was, well, rhett and we had markie and his missus posting. Even GGW was angry back then.
But Rhett is still Rhett and I thought Frank Gallagher was Markie, or was that Mankie? and was Poorlulu his wife? She wasn't that interesting. We did have Julian, who added some MUCH needed edge, but we know how that ended. Poor Icarus, he flew too high to the sun.
Meanwhile, there never would've been that Conspiracy Theory kerfuffle back in the early oughts.
-
Julian was about as edgy as his popped collar.
-
Walkie, we LOVE YOU!
Come back soon... once the spammers have been killed off.

Well to be fair, he starched his collars for extra edge.

ohhh, so you mean James Ford ;D
-
and who could forget BOMBAY CHUTNEY?
Yeah....poorlulu. Unlike most people she was more offensive in person than behind a keyboard. I liked those two and enjoyed poking markies cage with un-pc comments and just watch him take the bait....every time!
-
He was funny.
Then he turned 30 and let himself get old and disappear.
-
So Frank Gallagher, are/were you Mankie?
-

Walkie's freakout might have seemed over the top but I can see why someone would get angry if they clicked a legit thread at work and downloaded a porn image. Viewing music forums at work is obviously a no-no, but it's not likely to get you fired (unless that's all you're doing with your day), whereas downloading porn certainly will.
And the additional problem with spam posts and images in legit threads isn't just that it can get the viewer in trouble -- it tells the spam house that the page is getting views, and therefore attracts more spam. It also reveals the viewer's IP address to the spammer.
besides putting posting restrictions on newbies, I think it's also possible to restrict the ability of unknown lusers to post images at all. That would seem to be a good idea since embedded images can lead to a whole world of problems.

This is exactly why I am now reading the names on the last posters before I open any threads. Not wanting to credit any of this filth at all. I only come in here when I'm at home but I don't even want this trash on my own computer. It's very annoying and potentially dangerous. Who knows what might be loaded in that garbage.
I'm with Doomie on ALL points!
This problem is seriously getting out of hand and has more perils than potentially getting any given legit professional surfer fired. It's way past time that something was tried to get rid of this vermin.
-
Yeah I gotta say, this is getting really stupid. It's one thing to have new threads that are easily ignored, but if these dipshits keep posting in established threads, then there's no point in even trying to keep this board going.
Drama

I'm a creature of habit and like to see the regulars around...
the name is a little "loud" but very apropos.
-
you're right . . . it was a tad loud.

when i read that kosmo had announced there was a fix to the porn spammers in the works, i decided to come back. plus the sexual tension between me and relaxer was too much for me to give up.

FAST- GOOD - CHEAP... When it comes to having code written you get to pick two. When I write code I will not allow the 2nd alternative to be omitted.

moderators, would you please remove the completely not work safe (ie p.orn) posting to the FREEFEST thread?

actual user name and email address that attempted to register on forum, changed to protect the innocent among us

No its to block IP addresses and reject new users who appear to be spammers. A Couple users thought to be legit turned out to spamots...
