Note To Self:

moderators need to be able to choose which thread to re-post rejected news submissions to.

Yes That Would Be Good

Some sort of spam bot is shitting up the news threads. FYI.

Yep....

#1408 posted by metlslime on 2010/02/10 22:26:46

or a spam-human (like a spambot but composed of flesh.)

I'll flag them in the database when i get home (still need to add spam flagging to the moderator UI)

Okay...

#1409 posted by metlslime on 2010/02/11 10:31:51

Spam flagged.

However looking at the timestamps, some are only about 10 seconds apart, so it probably is a bot and not a human. So I guess I need to beef up my spambot defenses again, if this bot figured out how to get through.

I'd suggest to be wary if they enter e-mail addresses as their username.

Don't Get It

You want to reward someone for spamming a forum?

Not being obtuse, just don't know what you mean.

#1414 posted by Spirit on 2010/02/16 09:46:16

This is spam, just search for the first line. He links to a site in his profile.

Hmm....

#1415 posted by metlslime on 2010/02/16 10:31:28

hmm, indeed it is. Though his site is at least gaming-related, but yeah, the google matches, plus the profile link, plus the fact that the content of the post is full of keywords he wants to link to his site make it clear.

#1416 posted by metlslime on 2010/02/16 10:32:58

one thing i haven't really figured out how to deal with is spammers using user profiles to post URLs. The posts themselves are easily flagged, but i guess i need to add some way to flag a user account as "spam account".

I Suspected

#1417 posted by ijed on 2010/02/16 11:56:49

Believe it or not... but that's pretty convincing spam.

It was suspiciously well worded for the content though.

Oh Heh

#1418 posted by metlslime on 2010/02/17 05:47:21

i just went to that forum and it's like 99% posts by that guy in otherwise empty threads. I guess he's just launching it or something, heh.

One Of Those Tiny Bugs I Hate So Much Myself

#1419 posted by Spirit on 2010/03/10 22:18:00

if you enter a HTML entity and preview the post, the textfield will contain the entity as actual HTML while the rendered preview above shows the characters (as does the board if you submit)

totally irrelevant but hey

Nooo

#1420 posted by Preach on 2010/03/10 22:45:58

I abuse that all the time, if you preview a second time then it turns into the character you need in both places. It's very handy to create non-breaking spaces for putting indentation into code snippets or adding bulletpoints...

Oooh

#1421 posted by Spirit on 2010/03/11 09:37:35

I agree that the ability to officially use entities would be great. Your trick seems not to work for them all. ♥

Ah, Only "wordy" Ones I Guess

Server Not Found

#1424 posted by Jago on 2010/03/18 11:03:56

I was seeing "server not found" for about 15 minutes when trying to access anything on celephais.net, stopped being broken just a few minutes ago.
