guzzler Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Be great if somehow we could fire a shot back so that all the food in their fridges goes off and the garage doors lock open.. Then hopefully another arsehole steals their car(s).... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docc Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 FYI, today "reCAPTCHA " security verification was added to the forum's new account security screening. (Thank you, @Admin Jaap !) The next ten hours will reveal the effectiveness. It has been quite a week. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Well 5 accounts this morning instead of 15. Better? I hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footgoose Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 420 so far today... gotta get busy on those notifications 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footgoose Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 I unfollowed technical topics early on as docc requested and it made no apparent difference. I have now unfollowed all sub forums and all 2200topics I've followed over the years. I'm certain I'm gonna miss something now will report progress or lack of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 The best I can make myself feel, after getting up twice in the night, is that I flagged one just now with zero posts. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiomick Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Goodonya docc. I mentioned further up that I had similar experiences with a now defunct forum. I got a couple whilst they were posting. It's a very rewarding feeling, imagining the reaction when they hit "send" and find themselves logged out and unable to log back in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Another security challenge was added today. One can hope . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiomick Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I just tried a fake registration. Don't worry, I cancelled at the bit where it says an e-mail was sent. The e-mail adress was bs. What I noticed was that the text window for the trick question offered the correct answer. The browser had obviously "remembered" what I wrote in there last time. Don't know if anything can be done about that (except changing the question periodically). I saw the question, and the reCAPTCHA, but no further security measures. Should there be more? A further thought: I know it means more effort, but have you, i.e. collectively those responsible for the forum administration, considered having new registrations having to be manually approved before they go through? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done. And done, again . . . I suggested we make the question something about the wire color from pin 82 of the known flinky relay of the first series V11, but cooler heads prevail. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 The changes our faithful Admin has made so quickly this week have been focused and effective. I still see half of the "Online Users" could be malicious, but are not getting through . . . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
