Cheers and welcome, Yann. int:

Skills? You mean like mouthing off about totally inane stuff? Yeah, we've got that. Amazing, isn't it?

When posting here, definitely search first before starting new threads. Chances are your question isn't entirely unique and people have been discussing the subject already.

In the meantime...

Music: http://www.juventuz.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=31

Web/PC: http://www.juventuz.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=34

Education: we're all educated here.

And I recommend that you change the country in your User CP setup. The Afghan flag has unfortunately become the trademark of lame spammers here that get ridiculed on a regular basis.

Maybe he's Afghani?

 

[swag]

Possible, but highly doubtful. How many Afghani dive instructors could there be?

 

[Enron]

What type of diving are we talking about?

If you're one of the people who's been posting 20 spam threads a day, then thank you, I pride myself on my ability to make threads disappear within seconds of them being opened

Hey, let's not start with the cracks about the Portugal NT again, alright?

Welcome!

Unfortunately, me thinks this is just yet another automated wanker running XRumer. All its posts here seem to be by people with one, irrelevant (usually spam) post, with a country of Afghanistan, with a post in Off-Topic, and with this post icon:

.

If Marty doesn't have a way to prevent these, I'm sure I can come up with something.

 

[Geof]

Couldn't all Afghan members be automatically banned before they can even post? I mean, no racism involved, Talibans are welcome, but seriously...

And what the hell is Xrumer?

There are likely better, and less controvertial, ways of handling that.

And what the hell is Xrumer?

I didn't know until one of the spam posts today told me about it. It appears to be some piece of software that allows a user to post a message (most likely spam) to hundreds of online forums at once -- likely automating things like registration, e-mail confirmation, etc.

@graham: Gaga gaga ga?

 

[gray]

Gaga gaga indeed...

I thought we discussed a long time ago the possibility of disabling users from posting new threads until they have at least X posts in the forum. I say 20 is a good number.

why not just change the list of available nationalities and add a country named "AAAAA" from which everybody who registers is banned

 

[JCK]

That's a spammer who forgot to add the links

 

[Rami]

why not just change the list of available nationalities and add a country named "AAAAA" from which everybody who registers is banned

Or "AAAM A SPAMMER"

Yeah but then the spammers would just choose the second country down the list etc etc

It's a terrible idea unless we put "United States" up as "America" in the list :toast:

Yes, but if the accounts being created are indeed automated, we'll be able to filter most of them out.
