Hi Steve,

Welcome to BarCampBank's community!

Maybe we'll meet at the next BarCampBank SF early next year http://barcamp.org/BarCampBankSF2.

There have also been rumours of a BCB in Los Angeles. Anyhow, I think you'll find the community a friendly and energizing place to share with other members.

Anonoymous users can not post & Registration is moderated

fredericbaud — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 17:07:51 +0000

All,

Because there has been too much spam bot attacks on this site, I turned access controls to "nonymous users can only read" and I turned self-registration to moderated (spam bots were too easliy defeating the Captchas installed on this Drupal site).

Since registration is moderated, I may be sometime slow to approve pending applications.

I received a hint showing that someone had problem with the Captcha. Appologies for this. If anyone has problems, you can contact me at admin at barcampbank.org.

Thanks,

Frederic Baud

Frederic hi. I do not have

Frederic hi. I do not have much insight into Drupal. I just experimented a bit with it. So, sorry, I don't know.

There is a bug btw. To save a comment I have to click "continue" after being warned that all changes I made will get lost. It saves though and my changes are not lost. It took me a while to figure out. I'm using Firefox on kubuntu gutsy.

Implementing WikiNode on BFWatch?

fredericbaud — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 08:05:39 +0000

Hi Mattis,

Is there something we should do about http://bfwatch.barcampbank.org/WikiNode?

Should we set something in Drupal or on the server?

Cheers,

Captcha on self-registration may not be enough

fredericbaud — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 10:50:00 +0000

I implemented captcha for self-registration for BFWatch and FCF2008. Unfortunately, it seems an obvious fake user just registered on FCF2008 despite the math captcha. Either there is a bot that is already able to circumvent math captcha or - more probably - registrations are one by a human hand, and then the account is used by spam bots. I'll have to test with a different captcha, but if this is the second case happening we may have to use admin moderation as the only solution.

Can we implement captcha on self-registration?

fredericbaud — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 11:37:37 +0000

We just got a spam attack amounting to 19 "Knut" comments. I think we should set captchas for self-registration. Sam, is that something you can look into?

Thanks,

Hi Yann,

This looks cool!

If you happen to be close to Paris, I hope you can come to a future BarCampBankParis.

Implementing Captchas on self-registration

fredericbaud — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 11:13:24 +0000

We should implement Captchas on self-registration. If that fails, next level will be to moderate regisration. We should think of what we do for FCF 2008

Right, Captchas

fredericbaud — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 13:02:41 +0000

Yes, if we know that there are some bots around able to self-register on Drupal (that means able to read a return mail to get the password), we should do that. If that is humans registering then using bots to pollute the site, we may need to put in place an approval process for new registrations

Captcha on registration?

Sam Rose — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 19:56:03 +0000

We may just need captcha on registration..

More spam

fredericbaud — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 09:47:18 +0000

We got spam again. This time from a nickn07296. By the different dates of the posts, just wondering if that was not an actual human.

If we get this again, I'm wondering if we would not have to move to user registration approval before allowing first time post.

FCKEditor

Seems right. We should add the drop down list to let people switch from standard to expert mode.

Ok

I've had much more luck setting up FCK, although, it's a little more resource hungry. But we'll try it and see.
