Wow, seen some new members join over the last few days with "loose weight fast" or "how to loose wei"...interesting

[Jackolantern]

We've been getting spam posts? There was one day we got a couple of Russian-language ones, but I took care of those. Besides those I haven't really seen anything.

Look at the newest member name on the bottom

[hallsofvallhalla]

they get registered but never make it past anti-spam to get activated.

[Jackolantern]

Ahhh, I didn't see that. Yeah, I guess if somehow they get past anti-spam and make a post we will deal with them

[SpiritWebb]

Just thought it was funny is all!

[Jackolantern]

I was on another forum a while back, and I guess their forum software either wasn't set right (I think it was proprietary), or someone made a very clever hack, because there was a user with a 300-something character name, and their entire name was a spam message lol! It obviously broke the entire flow of the forum whenever their name appeared haha

[SpiritWebb]

lol

[hallsofvallhalla]

haha nice, who leaves a field in the DB at 300 char? Bad design.

[Jackolantern]

I guess it could have also been XSS lol
