Updated SPAM and New User Controls
Posted by BITS of WS Admin in Commentary, Technology, tags: Hacking, security, spamDue to the high level of attempted SPAM messages, bogus account creations as well as direct hacking against the site I have had to change the comment and new user access pages. If you have trouble adding a comment or are trying to create a new login and get redirected to the FBI then sorry but your actions looked suspicious to the server. I will likely make no exceptions or tweaks to the new controls.
Sorry if this keeps any valid new users or comments from being posted. To give you an idea of what I was fighting within the first few minutes of the new contols going into place over a dozen attempts to gain access were blocked.
