Karen Hamilton 1 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 We have temporarily suspended all new registrations due to a flood of probably bogus registrations!! We have also deleted all registrations that occurred after 1 Oct, 2008.If you registered legitimately and your membership has been deleted, please drop us an emal and we will restore your membership.Unfortunately there has been a bunch of registrations each day with weird names and all originating from either a Russian domain or g-mail. Our normal traffic for new registrations is one or two every few days/week. We are trying to determine if this is an attack on our board or something completely innocent and just a coincidence.Ian, could you offer your opinion and check out the board settings to see if they can be improved for more security? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruin 3 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 After releasing the SOAR-DG808S some folks had questions about it and couldn't ask them on this forum, because the registration-proces is blocked, due to recent hack-attacks.Luckely some of them asked there questions on another forum, that I happen to visit also. But it would be good to have those maybe-to-become simglider-freaks ask their questions here in this message-board.I found a post on another forum where they had simulair problems with hacks/unwanted members. The solution they used to prevent "robot-users" to register and start spreading spam on the forum is to include a simple question in the registration process that only can be answered by a living person. Source: http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthrea...;highlight=spam.Is it something to implement on the SOAR site as well, so we can welcome new members again.Bert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
