2019-10-09 Forum Version Update - Haxus - 10-09-2019 The forum software was updated today to the latest version. Bugs in the dark Lunorian theme got worse after the update so I removed it. Still getting used to the new/original/default layout. Account registration now has a reCAPTCHA button instead of a silly question that any bot can answer. You just have to click a check box that says 'I Am Not A Bot'. Fingers crossed that this will reduce the spammers. Now to go after deleting/purging the spam and see how things evolve from now on. RE: Forum Version Update - Norm49 - 10-09-2019 Die you dame swamper bot! R.I.P. old forum I like it, I am actually sad for this one but die you dame bot die! RE: Forum Version Update - jakbruce2012 - 10-09-2019 YIKES this is bright. *closes visor* I hope it keeps the spam at bay. RE: Forum Version Update - RonnSama - 10-09-2019 I was not prepared, and neither were my pupils, but I think I can manage if it keeps the spammers out. RE: Forum Version Update - Deantwo - 10-09-2019 I have been using the default MyBB theme for a long time now. I couldn't deal with the bugs in the dark Lunorian theme. RE: Forum Version Update - Norm49 - 10-09-2019 Well it didn't work there is 2 now spammers post in Arena of Ideas. RE: Forum Version Update - Haxus - 10-10-2019 Yeah, I saw. :/ RE: Forum Version Update - Haxus - 10-10-2019 I searched but did not find a dark theme or template for this version of MyBB. Will check again from time to time.

Does look like it has slowed down spambot account creation, but yes a few of the more advanced spambots are still getting through. So it is better i guess, but i don't know if perfect is even possible. So yeah, cleaning up spam on the forum might be a daily job for a while still. RE: Forum Version Update - Neils Iyssada - 10-10-2019 Actually they are quite easy to spot before they post their sh*t - weird or obvious names, spam links in signature and a suspicious bio. If there was at least one volunteer with some limited admin rights, spambots wouldn't last long. |
