Memberlist Purge and New Registrant Screening Process

samothrace_jp wrote in difwy Jul 06, 2007 12:21

Just blitzkrieged through the Memberlist to delete any suspected spambots... which pretty much boiled down to everyone who wasn't a vet from the previous board.

You've probably already noticed the New Registrants Area that I added a while back. It's finally open now; I just need to type the instruction post explaining what the hell that forum is ( Read more... )

Weekend Maintenance

samothrace_jp wrote in difwy Jun 29, 2007 20:08

Joey's doing maintenance on the server that DiFWy is on this weekend. I got lost on the techno-jargon but you can find the info here and here, if you're curious.

Much less to say, if you find the site wonky this weekend, that's why.

Unvalidated Registration Deletion

samothrace_jp wrote in difwy May 05, 2007 11:05

Took a few days, but deleted all the unvalidated users on the Memberlist. That would be all the users for whatever reason never verified their e-mail address through the activation e-mail. That's like 50+ users... Manual deletion sucks... While I was at it, deleted the banned users too...

( Here's the deletion list, if you're curious (or just want to make sure you're not on it): )

Tweaked Security Settings

Okay... Joey added a security filter, and recommended I tweak with some of the security settings on the admin panel.

Gonna reset registration to e-mail validation and see what happens.

Cross your fingers!

Okay, it's not finished. Bits and pieces still need tweaking, and I actually managed to break a minor part of the usergroup code ( Read more... )
