Not a big deal, but a nice to have.

People always try to abuse things that have no authorization. It's little efford. Assuming GD lib or similar is installed on this server you can even block scripts from registering forum accounts.seiki wrote:sure, we could.. but what would stop them from just signing up for new forum accounts?. then we'd have to moderate and approve all new users, and that would suck..
the best thing to do, is log the abuse, and send it to abuse@efnet.info
we'll do what we can to track them down and make their lives miserable.
thanks!

Today I had to ban the whole of *!*@chat.efnet.info because of some lame asshat wreaking havok in #php. What would be really useful would be a constant ident (not sure how you work out the ident, but his kept changing).munky wrote:iif someone is abusing from *@chat.efnet.info, contact any of the admins of the website, we all have access to edit the ipaccess file (though usually it's just me)
The ident as well as the realname/gecos field both have the user's originating IP in hex. You can use a scientific calculator to convert it, or there are web sites such as this that you can use to convert it to an IP address. for example, 7f000001@chat.efnet.info tells me that the address that is connecting to the web client is 127.0.0.1 (as an example). So, basically, it IS constant as long as the person connects to it from the same IP.Qube wrote:What would be really useful would be a constant ident (not sure how you work out the ident, but his kept changing).
I don't think he means for you to post abuse logs here. Also, the webchat seems to be down tonight at the moment (2:00 AM EST.) Webchat is and always will be one of those crap shoots that you just have to deal with one way or another. People who really want to be asshats can always find a way to be themselves.Qube wrote: d81a8446@chat.efnet.info

Basically the guy is trying to provoke a ban on all of chat.efnet.info.
