Snoopy1966 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I know this will require some Admin intervention, but I think it would be good to have a couple of questions to answer so the registration can be completed. These spam bots do not know the answers and it stopped this crap at the website I run. I know their is a way a Mod can get Admin privilages without accessing the backend of the forum. Hopefully they could spend a little time to do this or give one of you guys Admin status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These spam bots do not know the answers and it stopped this crap at the website I run. I know their is a way a Mod can get Admin privilages without accessing the backend of the forum. Hopefully they could spend a little time to do this or give one of you guys Admin status.There are modifications available for forum software like Invision and phpBB that will allow Admins to grant Moderators access to some parts of the Admin Control Panel (ACP).By backend do you mean database etc? I don't think the Invision ACP has the feature to run SQL queries in the database or access the forum files, so that should not be a problem.I have run many forums before, although I am only 21, and the current one I am running, I have set the following question for users when they register:What is the colour of grass? (put "green")Bots cannot get past this stage and this stopped my random messages being posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy1966 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Yup thats what will stop em in their tracks. Bots can not answer the questions. Yes that is what I meant about the backend. I am an Mod/Admin myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathuv Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 When i first joined, I used to think mush OWNED the forum, with all the time and effort he puts into it The mods practically do own it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hshah Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Do the mods get anything out of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 Funny how that misconception is so common.... Though I have made offers to buy the place.The mods as a whole put a lot of time into running the forum, for nothing but the occasional nice word, the more frequent unkind word, and the oppertunity for world domin...er...out of the kindness of our hearts, ya thats it, and because I love being called names, accused of being a dictator, compared to Hitler, and being challanged to a fight by some Git in the UK.
