How to prevent spammer to post messages?
-
Indeed, it seems the subjects are moving to strange "concepts"
-
deenaatwood is active again.../:-(
-
I would suggest new members should have a percentage (Let 's say 30%) of user information filled in before they can post. That way it's too much work to even start the spamming and moderators have less work dealing with it.
Can that be done? Any thoughts about this idea?
-
Not a bad idea. I think the best person to answer about the feasibility of it is Tero
-
I guess it has to be more sophisticated than that.
Would be simply 30% of more garbage. -

BTW i'm deleting spam for the past 5 minutes now. This is the 5th spamming wave since friday. I've kept a close look on it during the weekend. Any help is welcome

I guess we both killed a minute ago the messages of a spammer. ;-)
Someone was interfering.
And this is done by hand. -
Hi Koahnig,
Nice to see you again!
Thanks for the help. -

It is quite a bit of time that you have been active. -
Too efficient... you guys get all the fun! ;-)
Seriously though, good work.
-
Fingers crossed it is only a weekend hobby for the spammer ;-)

another spamming wave from shreenath countered.
-
So that makes two for today, I've already countered a wave earlier by baba1

Yet another wave from aghorinath5

Now coming from http://qt-project.org/member/162730
We need a new forum filter rule: Posts which contain the string "baba" should automatically be banned ;-P
-
Maybe we should create some sort of Qt Webkit based client that will allow to the moderators to cleanup forum faster. :-)
It can be distributed client that will communicate with other admin clients to spread the cleaning effort. -
QTextBrowser, webkit is problematic on iOS and Android ;)
-
Also the access to forum will change to my understanding. That is at least Tero announced when he started.
