To stop the spammers dead, new accounts need to be manually activated by an Admin. If you get a mate to join up, let us know and we'll switch it on. It's how we tend to use L-O anyway.
Anyone hate this?
[Nibbler] What about the grant button? It means that anyone can give themselves permission to do stuff. Like me just now editing this post. For example. Shouldn't be an issue if we've got rid of the spammers but thought I'd highlight it. While I'm at it, I need some Jayne love and I need it now. Also, did you know that the Hunter in L4D was modelled after me. Not so much the character but the way I like to pounce on beefcake, eviscerating it like an afternoon snack. I like to be on fire as a pounce in order to bbq the man-flesh. [/frustration]









Definitely for the best.
Definitely for the best. I've been clearing out the user list periodically for the last month or so, this is by far preferable...
I've gone a step further
I've gone a step further only Admins can create accounts. This is no biggy, if we have a mate we want onboard, it only takes a minute to make their account. That way we won't get lots of stupid fucking emails about spam users wanting their accounts checked.
Thats how I run Drupal
Thats how I run Drupal normally. The only 'problem' you get is it still sends out the confirmation email to people, so they try to log in repeatedly
See me edit! If it's mates
See me edit! If it's mates only now I suspect it can be lived with.
Don't think it would be too
Don't think it would be too difficult to add a php page, which you make registered users only which inputs new users into the user table and emails out the login details??
