The forum spamfilters seem to be working well :P

For everything not directly related to UOX3; Such as official UO, other emus, and everyday chatter about stuff. And whatnot.

The forum spamfilters seem to be working well :P

Post by Xuri »

A while back I added an extra security-measure to the user registration process in an attempt to fight off the hordes of very clearly UOX3-interested "users" who would constantly register dummy accounts on the forum with suspect looking e-mail addresses and user-details filled with advertisements.

Seems to have worked. Whenever a user-signup fails, a notification is sent off to a very specific e-mail address - which I just now checked for the first time in three years.

The inbox currently has OVER NINE THOUSAND (9176 as I write this post) notification e-mails. :shock: I hope these are all spambots failing to register and not legit users not getting through ^^

Anyway, that was it for Today's Informative Announcement (TM!).

*deletes over 9000 e-mails*
