Just a quick Hi

[NateO]

So, I've seen what Vista can do to an older desktop. What's the Vista footprint like on mobile devices?

It looks like that's been done and the signature is showing, except in the first post.

I see what you're saying. I fixed the signature in the first post.

The show signature is set for each individual post and is set by your general settings at the time of your post. When you change the global setting, it doesn't necessarily change the setting for each post.

I wasn't gonna do it for you! How else will you learn?

 

[NateO]

I thought you meant his settings and not the actual post.

So far I've found the main passive spam is coming from India with an IP of 122.164.*.*.

how could you be sure that its originating from India ? For instance, this cud be an external IP and the frequency of these IPs changing -is more than the frequency of me changing the clothes I wear everyday

I just use nic.com the two locations are

inetnum: 122.164.224.0 - 122.164.255.255

descr: ABTS Tamilnadu,
descr: Access Business Group,DSL Services 101,

And

route: 122.164.228.0/24

One thing we were thinking about was to restrict signatures to members until "x" ammount of posts had been created, or length of membership etc, somthing on those lines anyway.

 

[Stormseed]

well, i dont deny it cuz u have a valid rather concrete proof

 

[MorganO]

What I've found interesting about this thread is that Awarner MVP shows 0 (zero) posts on each an everyone of his posts! Maybe using mobile device as much as he does has put him into some type of hyperspace timewarp?!?

 

[NateO]

Posts in the Lounge don't count towards post-count, for better or worse.

 

[awarner MVP]

Yep we had that on MoDaco for a while to stop members posting complete junk or "joke topics" to try and boost their post count.
We stopped the restriction after the sillyness had subsided.

I'll be more of a lurker here than an avid poster as I class myself as sub-newbie here . So far all my questions have been answered by using the search function and I don't like posting just to say thanks unless it's a direct question I have asked.
