phy1729	Posted - 15 June 2008 : 21:53:39 I'm think of making a mod where in admin accounts pending there would be another link / option to lock the user. But instead of adding the user to the members table and auto locking him it would put the email in a dead email table and on each registration that table would be checked and if the email is in there the user would get an error. Two questions: Is there any interest? Should the table store anything in addition to the email address? Currently for the dbs I have [CREATE] DEAD_EMAILS email#varchar(128)## [END] anything I should change?<

phy1729	Posted - 23 June 2008 : 20:44:07 Ok go the db side to work and modded members.asp to solve this issue namely quote: I'm tired of seeing more spambots than actual members on my member's list in a couple of sites I maintain. My question is what should raise the red flag? name and e-mail? either? only e-mail? etc.<
phy1729	Posted - 16 June 2008 : 21:25:18 I think I'll go with the add to the normal members table quote: Originally posted by AnonJr The only thing I forgot to mention is that if the base code ever includes that status code for something else it will cause some problems for your forum... just a warning worth heeding. As for that, I'll probably use something like 34. If we get up there I'll be worried. <

Carefree	Posted - 16 June 2008 : 10:59:06 It'd only take a couple of minutes to modify one of the admin search pages (EM or IP) to include a search by status, the icons are already depicted and actionable; would have to title the column for sorting and put in a filter condition.<
AnonJr	Posted - 16 June 2008 : 08:53:48 I understand the impetus behind the idea, but it might be a better idea to use a new M_STATUS (Probably 2 since: 0 - Members' account is locked; 1 - Members' account is open) and exclude it from the members list. It would also be worth while to add a link that will pull up a list of just those spammer accounts. That way you still have the IP info as well as the e-mail address. I'm not sure if you'll want to allow those usernames to be used or not. Some could be legit, some I wouldn't repeat to my little sister...<
Carefree	Posted - 16 June 2008 : 07:18:26 You cannot pick & choose, either include the information for the occasions when it's a human ... or not and face repeat sign-ups.<
phy1729	Posted - 16 June 2008 : 07:00:26 Not activating the member because it's obviously a bot. Would you still include all the info?<
Carefree	Posted - 16 June 2008 : 02:45:47 Depending on WHY you're not activating the member, you may want to include more information on him/her; so if the (IP or name) is the same & the EMail changes, you'd still find the user. So if I were writing it, I would include first, last, & user names; email & ip.<
