NKF Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 *casts resurrection* We've been getting a lot of new registrations lately. I am chalking it up to enthusiasts of the Lost War mod for EU2012 eagerly wanting to chip in. Some have been quite busy, while others haven't contributed too much. But that's not overly unusual. However, there have been a number of suspicious names that look like they were randomly generated. Most of them haven't done anything yet, though Hobbes banned one of the accounts recently. The rest are probably sleepers. Just raising my concerns. Hate to see another flood of bots again. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbes Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I've noticed that once in a while a bot will spam a page but so far the frequency is a lot less than in the previous attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Heads up, another wave of suspicious generated names arriving. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Things are getting a bit silly. I just got home from work and checked the recents, and the last 250~300 lines are of suspicious account registrations or Hobbes banning and removing the spam pages. Could we get the Captcha system re-jigged, or temporarily disable registrations? - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoXTheRoXStaR Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 That sounds like a good idea, google has a recaptcha that looks promising. https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/index.html -NoX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To change the caption you need to ask Pete about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 I knew I took a day off work for a reason - we had another heap of suspicious bot signups. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NKF Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 NKF smash bots. Bots smashed. More bots. More smash. Argh! (it's a work day, tolerance level is lower than usual ) Thought I'd be clever and move all the spam pages into a special page I call Spam before deleting it to tidy up the history a bit, but it's not a very practical move. I've sent Pete a PM to see if we can throw some more security measures in. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
