Antonis Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I would suggest to temporarily suspend the creation of new accounts to keep the forum functional for the current members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Hey guys, Im looking for a University but cant find any info in chineese.Anybody know a forum I could visit? I think the spams are kind of virus infection. Typing won't produce so fast. This forum was hacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jase Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I think the spams are kind of virus infection. Typing won't produce so fast. This forum was hacked.Sorry, but this is nonsense. If you dont know what you are talking about, just leave it and dont scare other people. This is just an automated bot that created account(s) and post(s).My suggestion for the future would be, that an admin needs to approve a newly registered user. By doing so, the user would not be able to post directly - however, if he is a true (and valuable) user for eoshd, he/she would not mind at all. does that mean the password get stolen too?..not at all since passwords are stored encrypted in the database of the IPS system. @ken: now you see the consequences of your post. thanks for that.

mercer Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 You'd think with all the employment we supply for their children, they would be a little more courteous with our websites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ebrahim Saadawi Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I think this should be fixed by simply limiting the number of new topics a new member can start to one topic a day. We have to remember many people do come create an account and ask a question, so we don't want to ban that. Just 1 topic a day, I hope this isn't a complex function to implement, no idea how sites/forums work. It seems creating an account is so simple a robot is simply filling the form and starting ultimate number of topics. Not a ''hack'', just annoying. China and the University of Melbourne are somehow involved here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted September 29, 2015 Administrators Share Posted September 29, 2015 Good grief. Cleaned up the latest round. It will be the last because now the first posts from new users go into a moderation queue for approval and until the content is approved they can't post anything further.

Flynn Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I don't think limiting them to one topic a day will do any good. It's a nation of over a billion people and they all seem intent on bringing down EOSHD! Emanuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't want to lose that when they get disappointed waiting for ability to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
