Good time to say thanks to KrazyKarl and our other admins

Yes, it's been a messy start of the year in our little nuthouse with all the piss and venom and snakes and bots and interlopers and dickheads that seemed to have marched in. (I tend to experience cognitive dissonance when encountering the word "anal" in a motorcycle forum -- though that word does come to mind when I think of ChinaV tidying up his garage:lol8:).

So whoever has been busy sweeping out all the smut and slime, I'll venture that I'm speaking for a lot of us in expressing my gratitude.

So who are our admins anyway, besides KrazyKarl and Jape?

Take a bow, guys! We bow down to you all! :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

thanks for keeping this a nice family forum (of misfits)!

(You know who you are...)

:clap::clap::clap:

(How's THAT for a 600th post! --Euphonius)

Are you a robot? :lol8:

Last night there was a really nasty Asian porn bot that quickly made 7 very explicit posts :eekers:. It was a difficult decision for me as a mod to delete Asian porn. :lol8:

Cheers!
ChinaV

Yes, that Asian porn thingie :jerkoff:was the proximate catalyst for my "anal" comments.

So, ChinaV, you clearly self-identifying as another of our sagacious and respected moderators. I bow to you! :bowdown:

Bloody time zones! I missed it. For the sake of consistency and site security I think you had better send me the links so I can double check.

The ones that don't have links are strange, but best to be sure I think, despite a few amusing conversations and even a couple of burgeoning love affairs.

Thanks also go to our members that 'report' suspect posts to us. I am convinced the bots are getting more intelligent, they start to make sense, or as much as some of us here do normally anyway, so either they will soon have sentience and we will legally have to include them in the 'human' race, or someone will discover where in Florida they are hiding the chained up and tormented humans they use to get them in.

Yeah thanks a lot to all you guys for taking the time to keep this forum under control. We sincerely appreciate the effort!

Regarding the friendly pornbots, is it really necessary to zap them? Can we not make an exception if the content is truly outstanding?

I guess we could petition CC for you to be appointed moderator with the duty of sole judge, arbiter and murderer of pornbots that suffer from not being outstanding? Would you accept the onerous task? Can female pornbots be 'outstanding' or does it require male attributes? Would you be outstanding while performing your duties, or would you wilt under the stress?

There are further considerations of ethical import. Would Beatriz have matured from female bot to female pornbot if I hadn't killed her for what I admit now were personal reasons? These considerations can weigh heavily on the soul, I am glad we have such a doughty crew of members to hang out with, else we would be scewed.

Thanks from Motokai as well.

After posts like handjob (from euphonius) and xxx (from Milton) last night i clicked on blowjob (removed) thinking I'd get some info on air filters or exhaust mods, but found - you wouldn't believe it if I told you! I was never so offended!! :hellfire:

Here's to 2011 and a clean garage! (Felix, please park your toys outside!) :foff:

Well I'm pretty broad-minded but just had to delete another one of those, mainly because they make me feel rather inadequate. I get the feeling this forum may be targeted recently and that there is a human component to it.

Looks like our "scew you" brother was among the casualties. Good riddance.

So if there is a human dimension of this targeting, would the idea (i think it was felix's) of requiring a Captcha-style confirmation for new joiners not work?

Hope it's not becoming too much of a pain.

cheers

You read my mind, felix asked about this too a couple of days back and despite the humour we can find, it can be serious so I have just a short while ago asked CC his thoughts about this. I am sure he will let us know! Mods can't alter that level of stuff, it is site owner admin only of course.

I am pretty sure 'Mike' was a bot or an account set-up for later use. And Beatriz! Either way, if real they can try again. We do have ISP address reporting and blocking tools and so on and may have to look further into the security in general but as I said, that is up to 'hermano Carlos el loco'.

At the moment, sitting inside from rain covering half the Continent, watching the tragedy of flash floods drowning people a 1000km away in Qland, tearing houses to shreds, I have plenty of time on my hands. A bit crook so only short rides and can't do much on the property, so it isn't a pain at all, quite the opposite.

There are a few good 'captcha' type methods for use with VBulletin including custom questions - but they do only stop robots, not people, from setting up the accounts. It may be an idea to look at a further email confirmation process. Just the way of the world today.

The porn is another thing again, those posts have explicit photographs and many links, also videos ... I have actually followed few links carefully to see where they go, nowhere you can't get with a couple of Google searches and clicks anyway. you have to be careful, because html and code is allowed in posts you can get hidden scripts that take you off somewhere on mouse-over, not just a click you intended! Mainly they offer short videos to get you excited/interested but then want you to sign up. That is a choice for people, easily available away from the forum, so it is not a question about whether they should really be removed as soon as noticed and reported, despite jokes!!! The true risk is the phishing and keylogging software hidden when you get a prompts that you need latest Flash player or other software update. It can be confusing if you have more than one tab open. I always suggest one does not follow ANY such prompt first time you get it at least. If genuine, it will come back on another occasion and you may then Google the official company site and ask or download from there. Anyway, getting slightly off topic but I am reading up on this stuff at the moment.
