Image verification

[Malaki86]

How about adding an image verification "hack" to the board? This is used when a new user signs up. Although it's not 100%, it will eliminate a *LOT* of the spam we're getting here lately.

Remember, most of this spam doesn't actually come from a person sitting at the keyboard - it's done by a program to create an account, do the email verification, and then log in to post their one and only message.

Very good suggestion. That would elimate alot of spam. Alot of sites use that to verify you are real.

I second it!

You mean those little boxes with the goofy letters, and numbers that you have to read, and then type in?
If it's that, yeah, good idee. I hate those things. I cant hardly read them, myself, and I am human. :? :P

Same here would drop the SPAM by about 50% if not more.

Actually, according to Jeff, that image verification is already in place. So those are indeed real people doing the cut and paste spam. Some people just have no life.

Ahhhhh...burned out Homeless Moderators....now I get it. :?

No actually there are scripts that will decipher the image code and do all the posting.

What that person posted, yoopr, had NOTHING to do with the CAD board. It had to do with knowing something about software. It's a shame that you have such a condescending attitude towards someone who offers their input on a subject. :roll:

And you are a poor excuse for a moderator when you do crap like this. :roll:

Rev...Yoopr is right on top of things and this cute fuzzy little cuddly bear is a filthy stinking TROLL.

Things are not always what they appear to be. :P

[yoopr]

Thanks Hog-Some things aren't what they appear to be. I could have gone in Depth about it but Didn't

Then perhaps yoopr should just do his friggin JOB and delete their post, rather than sit here acting all high and mighty that he knows some information on them. :roll:

You can't read-I didn't say anything til you started running your Yap about things you were clueless about.

Apparently, neither can you.

In due time.
I am glad we have Moderators who are not quick to "over moderate" and
in this particular situation...most of this was just recognized.

To do as you suggested...could also bring harsh judgment.

Why hostile toward Yoopr anyway?

Is this TROLL so insidious...it's rotten stench has your nose bent for some reason? :?

[Rev.Vassago]

Why hostile toward Yoopr anyway?

Because his method of "moderation" is simply to ridicule posters. What purpose does that serve? If they are a troll, then ban them. If they come back, ban them again.

I doubt when he was asked to be a moderator here, that they said "When you see something that is out of line, I want you to make fun of the person, but don't actually do anything to SOLVE the problem". :roll:

[Roadhog]

Well, I see what you are saying.
I think that is just Yooprs style of giving a shake down.

How much he knew at that post.. (some)(and he knew this was a certified TROLL)... it was enough to
cause him to sniff around, but not enough to just ban him. You have to have a reason to ban.

This azzbite was banned during your last post. Enough info was finally gathered...and justice was served.

The Troll deserved far worse treatment, and its a shame Yoopr had to hold back as much as he did.

well first of all I don't have to explain ANYTHING to you and I won't because it's not worth the Trouble.
My first to Boo Boo Bear(aka *****) was to let him know that he was found out and it was a shot across HIS Bow.
Making fun of him was, and Is, the least of his worries

Apparently, your PM button is broken. :roll:

You still don't get it.

Rev - since it seems that no one on this board can seem to meet your high level of expectations, WHY DO YOU TROLL THIS SITE? Yes, you do offer information in the DOT rules, but even then you seem to think you have to make everyone else feel like an unknowing twit. I'm sorry, but I just simply can't stand to read anything you post any more.

Myself, I think the mods are doing a great job. This is a very busy site with only a couple of active mods. My hats off to you.

Leave the psychic readings to Miss Cleo.

I'm sorry,

No, you're not.

Look at that - it's me playing the world's smallest violin.

Brownnoser. :P
