by Nixon on November 19, 2008, 01:28:36 PMWe are getting spammed by random bots left and right. I personally have deleted several account including three is the last three days and I know Che'samo got a 4th one last night. I was just deleting accounts and not banning IPs which may be why they keep getting back in but even though we banned one another got in so someone is out to spam us. If it gets worse I will be putting account activation or admin approval systems in place.
The other thing is that the sudden flood of spam accounts and messages started when Javelin came back... hmm... I also doubt its bots given that there is a visual verification so it would have to be good enough to read letters from an image. My guess is its him of someone just copy pasting their spam e-mails. If anyone sees him or any bots posting spam please report it. These ads posted have been for everything from drug stores to 3d porn most recently.
Edit: So I did take some steps to try to get the spam level down. The two things that I did were to enhance the visual verification to make it harder to read in case it somehow is a bot reading it and I made it so accounts must be activated via e-mail. Hopefully that will stop the spam. 16 Views | 0 Replies

I believe that's all. Nix, I think you got me all of the money that was due before this. I'll start using this tread (editing this post) and have a sort of journal going. 110 Views | 17 Replies

by Nixon on October 15, 2008, 06:37:40 PMAight so everyone is caught up on payments now. The money Che'samo has not received yet is all with me so we are good to go. We even have a $0.10 surplus. That's prolly like rich given the current financial situation.  Anyways this is more to talk about the next two payments coming up which are ventrilo on 10/25 and on I think 11/8 a site hosting payment. This also reminds me of something about Che'samo having a web server so and update on that would be good. Can we do that or no, because if we can we may want to do it soon... On a side note stop being retarded in the chatbox its getting old.  107 Views | 3 Replies

by Nixon on October 02, 2008, 11:25:42 PMThere are several late payments on items that relate to lemonnades.org and they need to be payed. If you are one of the offenders you will receive a private message stating how much you owe. Because of this failure to pay the money you had promised us we are currently $9.90 in debt to Che'samo and with a large payment coming up I believe mid October, I am putting in place the following guidelines regarding payments. - All upcoming payment dates will be posted on the calendar on this forum. As the day approaches it will display at the bottom on the Lemonnades forum.
- You will have 1 and a half weeks to get the money to Che'samo or you will be charged 5% and an additional 5% for every month after that.
- For those of you who have outstanding debt you have a week to get it in to me or Che'samo before the interest kicks in.
I have sent out messages regarding how much you owe and please pay it promptly! 147 Views | 1 Reply

by Nixon on October 01, 2008, 08:49:52 PMThe auto embedding of videos has been disabled because it embeds audio files that were meant for download, it embeds in the shoutbox, and too many people whine about it when it does something you didn't expect it to.
There is no other way I have found to do this but I will tell you if I find one.
In the mean time just post links to videos and hopefully I can find a way to just embed youtube and nothing else. 132 Views | 3 Replies
