Nobody noticed!

Tue, 05/05/2015 - 16:56 — nibs

ConCen registrations have been closed for weeks.

Nobody noticed except the spammers. They need to register before they even get the chance to pollute our domain, yet they are doomed anyway.

As soon as they post a spam, they are caught. Hell, they can't even register if their email account has been flagged for spamming. But they continue. Relentlessly.

ConCen's core goal - sharing essential information - can be met without registering. You can find and download what you want without ever logging in. It's safer for you, and easier on the site.

The only people who need to register are the content creators, whether uploading torrents, writing a comment, or otherwise helping share information.

So we're done with all the useless accounts. New policy:

  • Accounts older than six months that posted no content are automatically deleted
  • Accounts with content that haven't logged in for six months are suspended
  • Accounts with content that haven't logged in for a year will be reduced to hash

Can you add a CAPTCHA on register? this helped a lot for my forums when it was being spammed to death.

There was a CAPTCHA feature added, but it did not stop the spam registrations, only reduced them a bit.

I wonder if that's what stopped my password from being changed correctly, oh well, it just worked right now :O :)
