no change to the background, must be something on your end 

reboot did the trick 

don't forget to change spam threads to "censored" instead of "closed" -- closed threads are still visible. 

will do it right from now on.

Was trying for this: http://www.blameitonthevoices.com/2011/02/y-u-no-emoticon.html

No support for Japanese (?) characters?

Mark the above posts as spam please ;) 

i don't really have a very good system for handling charsets... i think the server is set to Western European or something, the html don't include a charset, there's occasional bugs with weird characters breaking the RSS feed (em dash, copyright symbol, trademark symbol, zertstorer O with the umlaut on it. These don't seem to be causing much of a problem for us so I haven't really investigated what I would need to do to encode everything correctly. 

you are using htmlspecialcharacters after htmlentities I guess. 

Ban / auto-reject anything from linseo****blog 

It's really getting to be annoying. 

I think the time has come, because now they keep spamming the news threads (thus fucking up their order). 

unflagging ijed's spam posts because there's code that blocks any IP from posting that was once the source of a spam post... 

i'm working on a feature to flag spam accounts, which will help because the current wave of spam is all from registered users (all the linseoblog guys.) I have already flagged the accounts in the database, now i will need to add code to block a new post/thread if it is coming through a spam account. Should be comming soon. 

That will definitely help as 90% of it seems to be that linseobollox. 

News and discussion threads in the full lists are ordered by date of creation. Only the "last 10 threads" are affected by (spam) bumping. 

That's where it annoys me the most, since I never visit the full lists or news page. 

this should work 

accounts flagged as spam accounts are now blocked from creating posts/threads. This is only effective if the spammer is logged in and I have flagged the account. Lineseoblog accounts have all been flagged. Let's see what happens. 

xxx 

failed 

I just tried to replace my name by 'Lineseoblog'.. that does not work :P

sorry... 

failed ?? 

if not logged he can post: maybe the IP address could be alos flag as spammer... Can it work this way too ? 

IP flagging was already a feature.
