It soudns dumb, but you have to edit your profile description slightly in order to change anything else

imer, there is more Issues.

1. People cannot edit their Forum Title anymore, like they could before, due to a permissions Problem

2. Spambots still are able to randomly submit Posts at some occassions.

User title editing is fixed, not sure about the spam bots

I cannot enable instant Email Notifications for Conversations while having regular non-Email Notifications for Conversations disabled, despite the Settings clearly allowing me to select it (and later resetting the Value).

that should help

only implemented for creating threads atm, gonna call it a night here though

Are you sure that you should do it like that? People with a new Account would get pretty annoyed by it if they have to wait for one specific human to approve their Post, instead of having Moderators do that.

Also "your message looks like spam" is a bit mean to the real people.

How about solving both issues with, "your first Thread contains links to other Sites and is therefore considered Spam, please remove all Links in order to proceed posting, if you want to post images there is an attachments Tab for it", which will ofcourse only show up if the Thread has any Link towards a non-forum thing inside of it, or if "http"/"www" are in the Title of it.

It only does that if it is detected as spam, which shouldn't happen to real people (otherwise they'd have been flagged already)

It runs the post through a spam detection service - its not about the links

okay uhhhm, that spam protection service is then worse than my idea as there is another Thread of that kind and it even had a link inside of its Title...

The old "if there's a link - moderate it" thing is still in, I just added another layer ontop that rejects the post if it's detected as spam so we dont have to manually delete stuff.

I'm not sure if I should even be able to see deleted threads but even if it is intended that users can see the title maybe you should deactivate it. The way it is now the spambots can still get their URLs out there by having them in the title and readable for all.

I've looked and there's no way I can see to disable it

well that Post came through, imer

http://www.healthbeautyfacts.com/lumidaire-cream/

and it definitely has a Link in it, even if its not marked as a hyperlink

Well, that's not a "real" link, thats just text

So

1.it didnt get recognized as spam by the spam detection

2. the post-disabler didnt do anything cause there's no link in it

It might be a good idea to check for Links that arent hyperlinks aswell, you know, everything that has http or www in the title and or inside the Post without actually linking shit?

imer, Guests can report stuff, and they are very spammy about the report content. Sure this is a non-issue since nobody sees it aside from moderators, but it might be something that can be turned off.

It doesn't happen very often though, I've seen just as many guests reporting actual spam as ones making fake reports.

Disabled it for guests

Deleted threads arent shown to non-mods anymore (had to go into the template and just not output the threads if they're deleted without mod permission.. sigh)
