Sheepy Alex while you are adding the very much needed second captcha. Maybe increase the flood timeout for thread creation?

 

 

23:38 Skable that's why we don't want Rose involved, so we can take the m all for ourselves

23:39 [] but Mensa is the cute girl at the school dance and she's only dancing with us right now to get our friend jealous

23:39 [] If Rose comes in and gives Mensa what she wants, she'll just toss us aside and forget we ever existed

23:39 zombie_lanae yeah I do hope we can keep having them all to ourselves

23:40 zombie_lanae I know it's selfish but I want all their love

Pubstomper|BNC [20:01:55] Rose wouldn't plan a hit on Mensa because it would be &#33;@#&#036;ing stupid

They just use proxies etc.

 

Really you can defeat them by user log in security.  Sheepy says he has this now........however he obviously needs to change the damn question.

It happened again lmao

 

The security questions seem pretty good. The one that has you type "Yes" if you're over 13 is pretty weak though.

 

I found with our forums when using reCAPTCHA it didn't actually stop the spammers. Might be worth upgrading to reCAPTCHA 2 (The one you use in-game, with the checkbox). That actually worked for me and blocked all of them surprisingly. I believe you can do this with IPS3, I can't remember for sure though, it might've needed a plugin. Or update to IPS4 as it's mostly stable now (4.1.14 has official PHP 7 support, yay).

 

Are these forums using IPS' anti-spam service? Generally that's pretty good. If it's enabled, maybe try to increase the strictness? If not, stop injecting yourself with marijuana and enable that &#33;@#&#036;.

 

If it were a community member, they'd most likely be using a proxy/VPN/Tor, and 9 times out of 10, that IP is usually blacklisted on spam services which would mean IPS' anti-spam service would flag them as spam on registration.

 

Dunno, I'm sure you've looked into it. Just throwing shit out there.

[22:37:51] <&Yosodog> Problem is, everyone is too busy deciding which top gun character they are that no decision has been made

Don't we have a 7-man mod team (or maybe 5 because Magneto and Skynet haven't logged in in a while)? Where are they?

They are undoubtedly fine questions yoso, they just need to be changed as whatever auto-fill they have on will no longer work.

 

Changing capthca to v2 is prob a good idea as well.
