Captcha to post

**xedhed** · #1 (**permalink**) 14th January 2011, 14:00

I was just going to post a movie share, when I noticed this new captcha thingy.

I thought I'd let you know that I can't be arsed.

It's inconvenient and it really annoys me having to figure out what the hell it says sometimes. It just asked me for "Ponceser" - what the hell kind of word is that?!?

Also, it's really disrespectful of posters with hundreds of posts here.
I just thought I'd let you know why you've not been seeing many posts from me recently.

EDIT: Also, this oron link that's been tagged on the bottom of MY post has fuck all to do with me...

New to me...!? Where? Could you give me a screenshot? Maybe spam protection if you want to post for example 50 new threads in 2 minutes.

Alright, checked it = spam protection. It depends on your usergroup (staff should be able to post without i.v.) but I'm not sure if it's necessary to enable it at the V.I.Ps.

It will be enabled even for VIP's till I get sorted out some flood controls. Even VIP's are double and triple posting. Auto posters and Xrumer posters are killing us.

I guess the whole Vietnam is spamming F4E. Server load is way lower than before.

This is temporarily for VIP's and it will stay for Registered users.

As for Oron backup link, it's testing period. I don't like it, neither.

Also: my uploading links have been altered to direct to oron, which is NOT what I posted (see my recent 4 music posts)

And there's no "New Thread" button on top of the page after having posted a new thread. If I want to post another share, I have to go back three times to the main forum.

Oron links seems to be new art adverts cause the backup links moved away - and you're not the only one with redirects to the same f4e hosted file.

There are a lot of buttons (search, thank you, hide...) which disappear sometimes. I'm not sure if it's just temporary but I can show you my view and how I handle it at the moment:

Could we have it disabled for this usergroup too?
