Nope. Registration was disabled for a bit, and now requires vegetable identification, but guest posting is still enabled. So, Hornet - how do you feel about writing an Invision mod that strips links from guest posts?  |

You've seen the state of Invision's codebase - give me a few tablets of LSD and I'll consider it.  Seriously, maybe. We'd still be attacked by large quantities of random posts though, some pornographic and rather dubious, the links aside. I'll see about tying the Captcha into the guest posting system, but as said, that'll require a hefty dose of psychotropics before it even begins to make sense. |

As funny as Hornet on psychotropics could potentially be ... why not just have guest posting disabled?

Because guest posting is a vital component of a Free, Open and Accessible Internet, and I wont sacrifice that just because of some spamming arseholes.

"costs no money" - I said Free, not free. "requires only a valid email address" - which reduces Accessibility. "doesn't have giant padlocks" - no, just giant fruits. When you're walking down the road, you don't have to carry an ID card if you want to have a conversation with people, nor do you have to answer riddles or pat your head whilst rubbing your belly. So why should you be forced to do so on the Internet?

...i can spell!?! Apparently so. SS - however, if people walking down the street started randomly talking to strangers using rubbish grammar and trying to offer them badly made porn, everyone'd probably stop going out in public and we'd all have to get special permission from the government to have the ability to speak. :huh: |

Which would be a sign that the police force is shit and needs fixing. Unfortunately I can't de-analogise the police force into Internet terms.  But I can for the concept of putting a muzzle around strangers which detects rubbish and prevent anyone else from hearing it. ie: Filter all guest postings through Akismet. Or at least, I could do that if there was an IPB plugin for it. But there is a generic PHP library which looks simple enough to use... watch this space: |
