Mike 686 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 This is awful. Registration has been paused, which I DID NOT want right before the end of the season. They're all getting flagged as spammers and content removed. I'll re-enable registration when I feel we're equipped to have it all blocked. Sorry all. The team is on it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got that 9377 phone # imbedded into my brain now and I thought all the airlines were using that same phone number to reduce costs 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Registrations need to sign up via their Google, Facebook, or Apple accounts OR they need to answer the Notre Dame Championship question + pass Google's captcha and get a low spammer score in the forum software. Registration is likely manual, while the topics being created are scripted. What I'll likely put in-place for now: Requiring a positive reputation of a certain threshold to create topics. That's determined by any non-poo emojis. I wanted to allow new members to create topics if they had an imminent question, but I'm going to need to put this or something similar in-place for now. I won't go by post count since that can result in spam posts in other topics until that threshold is hit Already in place but increasing strictness - If content is reported by 2 members, it will be hidden automatically. Previously this was set at 5. If you see spammers, poo & report it from existence. We'll get on it asap. I'll keep registrations off for now until I have a plan fully in-place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike 686 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Alrighty, I think we're squared away. For now. Thank you for tackling those, @FaithInIrishForever. Although registrations were disabled, it was still possible to bypass the manual registration by using 'Sign in with Google/Apple/Facebook'. I disabled those sign-in options for now and its email sign-in only. This should allow some time to breathe while I figure this out. Sorry for all the spam finding a way through this morning. I looked at the expiration date and all that spam looks no good. The moderators and I will make sure to take out the trash. * I don't see there being any issues accessing accounts, but if anybody has any problems or can't get logged in, please use the Contact Us button in the footer and I'll get you sorted out. And any spam that comes through there is my problem, only 🙃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
