Forum SPAM

[Sam_oslo]

After reading your reported posts, I went ahead and did some IP check, they were not on the same IP address unfortunately.

It seams to come from compromised systems. Infected systems send out registration request and messages, using victims email. So it's not easy to catch them by email or IP. They come from everywhere.

But these are usually advertisements for "honest" stores, as in here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=265587 it says:

buy canada cialis
buy prozac uk
buy cheap viagra online
buy viagra soft uk
alcohol zoloft

Maybe you could somehow catch them by keyword (like viagra, prozac, eyc..?)

If you want some idea, then perhaps you could implement something similar to the following: first 5-10 posts of new members have to be approved by mods before being 'published' on the site. That way people can register and post just fine, and if they post some spam, then their posts will not be seen. This is a lot of work for mods, though, so it's not a perfect solution...

You are on something, but it would be too much job for mods, I think.

Another similar could be, let every member that fills certain criteria to delete first 5-10 post of new members. In this way the community can clean up the mess.

PLEASE lower the 60s wait to 15s or so, reporting threads sucks when there are five to report with a minute in between each.

Like i didnt know that
Now you know forum WHAT is forum speed!

And yes, many ppl using win7-with original tcp/ip protocol settings.
When i install win7 i didnt stand for slow internet performance so i went to site http://www.speedguide.net/files/TCPOptimizer.exe

And dl that tool, i select with slider my internet conn, and click on optimal settings then restart win7.
After that blasting fast internet and with good pings in games.

i believe fugger also said he'd be doing forum moving at some point so that may attribute to it

You can do the same by just making sure your stack is'nt gonna mess up with an odd number that doesn't match up.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NdisWan\Parameters]
"IPMTU"=dword:000005c0			;1472
;"IPMTU"=dword:000005dc			;1500 Default ?
;"TunnelMTU"=dword:000005c0		;1400 Default ?
"TunnelMTU"=dword:00000578		;1472

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]
;Must be a multible of 256!(1byte value, 256 bytes), & should be a multible of MSS!
"ForwardBufferMemory"=dword:00017000	;256 x 368 (1472 x 64) = 94208 [92K]
"TcpWindowSize"=dword:00005C00	;16X - 1472, 23552 Bytes, 204ms @ 921.6K Rating, illegal dialup...

This is what I do, well it's the just of it, not all of it.
Good enough to get over the max theoretical bandwith limit sometimes.
Using an app to setup your stack or some generic reg file is just as good probably...
Scratch my head, I wrote some of those notes wrong it seems for the default mtu things.

The xs server does seem slow sometimes...

It's probably all down to the cpu, mem, hd's and type network connection it has anyways.
Not really so much the stack probably.

As far i know..Windows 98se on tcpip default = extremly slow on speed without setup with TCPOptimizer.exe - performance gain abaut 75%
All older Windows up to windows7 tcpip allways got different setings.
And even windows updates changes tcp ip...

Im not shure anymore what to tell ppl what setting is best. Tool with Optimal setting makes fast enugh even for me.
If we runing tests to gain on ping we gain 5%-20% low on pings.
And for +-5% ping difference is not much huge to eat figer nails


This is good setting only for windows xp!
ONLY FOR WIN XP!
I set lots of computers and ppl report to me that those values rlly help alot:
MTU =1480
SetTTL =55

For win7 ultimate i got
MTU =1500
SetTTL =56

BUT for anyone Windows on "optimal setting", makes "better" enugh

spam again..
