Title: E-mail Validation


UltraByte - January 29, 2007 01:00 AM (GMT)
I have just turned this on to keep the spambots from getting in. So, make sure you sign up with a real e-mail.

EDIT: Wait, WOW that's really weird. The Validation is already on...

Holy crap. Wow, yeah. What should we do though? The spambots seem to be getting through.

I can pay the monies for the number code thing.

Anyway to do it without concerning moneys?

I don't believe so, I can ask down at the IF Support forums to make sure

No need for moneys! I JUST FOUND OUT THE WEAKNESS!!!!!

Okay, it seems that EVERY spambot is registering as *@*.info (* are wildcards for anything), and I just put that in the E-Mail Ban info.

BYE-BYE SPAMBOTS!!!! =D

EDIT: I just tested it, AND IT WORKED.

Praise the goddess. xDDDDDD

There shouldn't be ANY loopholes in this, because I just found the link to ALL the spambots. If they do come back, I'll just kill them. All. With my chainsawing admin powers.

Which are pretty scary tbh.
