Jay1 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 As i'm sure you have all noticed, we are being flooded with spam. If you see a spam post, please be sure to report it to a moderator so we can ban the account before they post more. Thanks, Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onedayillsailagain Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hey Jay, I reported 2 spam posts, but received the following message upon submitting: Warning: Base directory HTML_PURIFIER_PATHcache/tmp does not exist, please create or change using %Cache.SerializerPath in /home/hppdonli/public_html/ips_kernel/HTMLPurifier/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer.php on line 133 Can you verify whether my reports came through or not? If not, there's no point in me trying to help as I would not be able to. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay1 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Thanks, no, it didn't come through. I've noticed quite a few problems with the board lately. Anyone with any technical knowledge know what that means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David S. Kozin Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 This is the trouble with auto-spam detection: If I create stricter controls over the determination of spam accounts it will create False Negatives (Real users considered spammers for any number of reasons (e.g. now on a dynamic IP associated w/spammer, etc) and then I have users unable to create accounts because they are auto-flagged. However, it will result in no spam. But, a significant number of users unable to join. I am at various degrees of healing from a severe wound and break that has kept me still in a wheel chair and with a wound vac along with half my leg now titanium (plus all of the meds) ;/ My memory on oxycodone is worse than my normal memory, but I thought I gave a user moderation permissions with the sole purpose of deleting spam (I will check). I will review the entire board today, which goes along with a plan while I am writing material for the journal The Psychologist (I am finding material from old posts)... this is co-authored with Dr. Abraham. Part of a special edition of the journal on the topic of Hallucinogens. The wonder of Twitter (I use Twitter as my primary update tool) and developing a good relationship with an editor and former health minister of the UK). Anyone on Twitter should follow @davidkozin (send me a private message that you are from the board or remain on anonymous) and I post updates here as well. Ignore the politics and other tweets unless you are interested in these topics (but you will see good discussions about drugs with researchers, politics of research, HPPD stories). Also, I am still sitting on the great domain name visiondisorders.org and want to make something of it. However, I have about a million half finished projects. I need to read the main threads on the board to re-orient myself with the community. I have kept my Facebook account inactive for months because of privacy and other concerns. All my best, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David S. Kozin Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Jay, I have upgraded permissions. Check your account with the Admin panel and review updates. New access to a Warnings Module. I have to fix the other Admin/Mods (even fix my own account). - dk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onedayillsailagain Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Spam report seems to be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay1 Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 thanks, yes the spam report is working again. David, I think the best thing is to keep the spam filter it this level and i'll deal with the spam as it comes. Now the report is fixed, i can keep the board pretty clean and not run the risk of people suffering hppd not being able to access the board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onedayillsailagain Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 When I open this topic I get a log-in pop-up, which I logged in to out of curiosity... Now it seems my IP has been banned and I need to log in via a proxy. Jay, if I send you my IP address in PM, would you be so kind to unblock it? Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VisualDude Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 When I open this topic I get a log-in pop-up, which I logged in to out of curiosity... Now it seems my IP has been banned and I need to log in via a proxy. Jay, if I send you my IP address in PM, would you be so kind to unblock it? Thank you. I get this today. And don't trust it. Unless David confirms otherwise, I suspect it some kind of virus that is trying to get our info for log ins (or whatever). Why else would this popup eventually let you in even though you hit cancel a few times. David, I don't know if you ever 'reset' the forum or not. Sometimes this 'Community Forum Software' runs out of memory or other such things. While not wishing to disturb members, I would suggest that once a week you shut it down and reboot. As a side note, I've never let Windows run for days or weeks and because of that, have far fewer problems that what other people tell me (not that Windows is any good ... just that it is better to shut it off and not let its internal weirdness build up). Anyway, just a thought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
