Even if you hate the person providing the solution. I repeat: This is a public forum. When you offer a solution, everybody can read and may follow it. So somebody like me will assess them and show the flaws. (That's why I can't keep my mouth shut) If anybody show me a better solution I will support it even if I hate him. |

1- what hack? am i missed something? you show us a way. delete the spammers and add the email to black list. 2- You said you delete SPAMMERS (inactive and active) and I criticized it. see: Quote:
In the above i said why not delete any user account. Quote:
Again in the above i said why we should not delete SPAMMERS. so i repeat. you said you delete SPAMMERS account and i criticized it and wrote reasons that showed why you should not delete them. but adding emails to black list is a different story. .we should use black lists wisely. enter an exact email is not very good. many of us have a "banned email" list but normally they are partial emails like this: mail.net$ and not an exact email address as you described. So i sum up my opinions about your solution: 1- Deleting a bad user or spam account is very bad way 2- Add an exact email to black list is not very good way. Quote:
It is not my idea. it is very old attitude against spams. many people used banned group. 7 years ago, I was just like you and delete SPAMS account. then I learnt the ban user from others in these forums. just search and find: deactivate users Can I disable PMS on per user or per group basis?? stop the spammers And having an Active/Inactive radio element in current profile module was a progress and was a part of it. So finally now we have an option to act against SPAMS. Quote:
Ability to ban a user is a very old wish. right now i find one in source forge feature requests. http://sourceforge.net/p/xoops/feature-requests/223/ you can find many others. Even we should be able to ban bad users in a specific period of time. It will be in core sooner or later because it is very needed. AFAIK there is a plan for new profile system(module) to add these groups to XOOPS Official groups. 1- spam group set no permission in all website modules/pages 2- bot group for robots and crawlers Of course In my idea it is better to have some functionality rather than adding more hard-code groups. I mean we should be able to define a group for spams and define another for robots. But we dont have many programmers in XOOPS CORE. Actually Xoops Core is you and me. If we work together we can add our wishes to the next core. |
