Darth Ender Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 But how do you create a new user name here. All I see when I log out is existing users log in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zathras Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Did you try turning it off and on again? Did you try a different browser? LOL! that is literally my first 2 questions of everyone I support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 New registrations are currently turned off due to the porn spammers overrunning the boards. Are you trying to register a second name for yourself, or is someone else trying to sign up? Either way we can make it work, but I’m just curious what the best route would be. Feel free to PM me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerimar Nyliram Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Dammit, Fozzie, did you ever think that maybe we want porn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Kid Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 @Fozzie is there an option to toggle on Captcha for registration? Or are these real live persons that are registering and spamming the boards as opposed to bots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still working on finding an option that will allow us to have registrations, but at the same time it’s low priority. We aren’t exactly in a growth phase, and we never will be again.

ReCaptcha and especially KeyCaptcha usually work pretty well, or do we not have those options available yet because we're running on older Invision software? I see that the site is hosted at DreamHost. Have we considered using CloudFlare to host DNS records instead of DreamHost's default DNS servers? They are free and offer a reasonable amount of built in protections from known spam bots. They'll auto-filter certain source IPs once they are flagged by other CloudFlare users. Something like `fail2ban` might be an option too. It does bot blocking locally, once the traffic reaches the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
