I don't believe Sarevok meant open sections to reply, but to view. The majority of this forum is open for anyone to view if they aren't registered with the exception of a few such as the public dump and the GC.Dubby_CompGamerGeek2 wrote:Sarevok wrote:That maybe. But if they can access that thread without the need for a forum account (I think there is a few open sections), then there'd be no difference between a re-direction to the forum, and a redirection to another page...
The vast majority of the forums are accessible for reading to anyone...
registered or otherwise... and [google-bot] is not a registered user in my mind...
Athough perhaps you meant open sections as anyone can reply?
I think the spam-bots are steadily forcing the admins' hands on that one...
If someone thinks that making a visual guide is a good idea then go ahead and do it. it is something anyone can do including the author of this thread that came up with the idea. All you need to do is use print screen and write.
If you wish to make suggestions for the Forum please take it to the Forum Issues section. Any forum related security issues can be discussed there. Please keep this thread discussion related to "Visual Game Guide". Thanking you.Dubby_CompGamerGeek2 wrote:Which brings me to my next great idea for phpBB:
An admin option for captcha traps for your first 50 or so posts / private messages / etc...
We could probably drop half the security protocols on my alliance forums
with that one improvement...
Our boards are also phpBB, and it was actually hacked at the admin level some years,
and many updates ago... with an unknown user actually deleted...
ever since we have battened down the hatches like a submarine...
though now mostly because of spam-bots...
and yes, anyone else who knows of a true hacking on an alliance forums,
by all means, I'd love to chat...
When, not if, but when we finally get a section around here devoted to security related issues, by all means feel free to copy this post over there...
