  1. I use Dark Reader in Firefox but it actually makes the site slightly lighter (when it's already in dark mode).
  2. Just report those kind of posts please. The flagging is purely for the kind of obvious botting that we've been sustaining (all of the vice-y stuff).
  3. I've made some changes that I won't go in to in case one of the spammers bothers to read this thread. There are now some spam moderators too. Thank you to everyone who is going to help with flagging and appreciate those of you who flag these normally through the report system as it does help us react to them more quickly. Registrations will reopen at 20:00CST tomorrow.
  4. Supporters can now sign up to be granted 'Spam Flagger' powers. If this doesn't get enough participants then I'll broaden who's eligible to get these. Registrations are suspended but unfortunately these were accounts pending verification. There will likely be more, but I have run through the list of verifying accounts and deleted anyone overly suspicious. I believe that this is because the forum counts your sign up date/time as being from when you validated your account, not from when you actually filled out the registration form. @L3wisD
  5. New registrations are suspended until this can be figured out. Clearly the question and answer challenge has been solved and shared somewhere. Unfortunately most are smart enough to use a VPN. Keyword blocking is something I'm trying via Cleantalk, but for whatever reason it doesn't appear to always be working. These spam posts are usually deleted within an hour but some are done at 4am when no one with current moderation powers is around. New moderators: it's one of the options that I'm looking into now. I'll post here with an update.
  6. They certainly need rewriting to be more simple. The bits about UK law don't need to be in the same section as the headline rules.
  7. The problem is deeper than making 'complete' listings show as 'sold'. I don't want expired listings to show as 'sold' (which is what this would do). Many people dig through old advertisements and send messages to sellers looking to buy items in the hopes that they may still actually be available. I currently judge it as the lesser of two evils that we might find a sale for our listed items that we've not been able - or forgotten - to relist. Even many months after the fact there is a lot of potential for niche listings to find a buyer. I understand that this can be annoying for sellers who do stay on top of relisting their items. What would be required is the ability to show hidden, 'expired' listings and for users to easily mark their items as sold, withdrawn or otherwise even after they are 'expired' (this may already be possible). Additionally some kind of timer on 'expired' listings moving from simply marked 'expired' (perhaps for 7 days) to hidden by default (as mentioned).
  8. I don't see why not. If @Jedi_Master is ok with it then I'll edit the rules.
  9. Have you received these yet? I've sent out three waves since your post. Sent you a PM in case. Buying a patch doesn't make you a supporter I'm afraid. We culled a lot of the group too of people who hadn't signed in for some time, but I wouldn't be able to say if you're in that group or not as there aren't any logs. Supporters are selected by existing supporters every few years but it's just a meaningless title of recognition for being a long term contributor. You should get a marker under your name to show yourself as a patch owner. I'll see why this isn't showing up (possibly the plugin was out of date and therefore disabled). Don't remind me about the Novrisch background mistake I made
  10. Should be sorted now but as usual outlook, live, hotmail and btinternet, yahoo etc. are still putting them straight into spam so we'll see what happens in the longer term.
  11. Can someone tell me if they're able to see these yet? https://airsoft-forums.uk/attachments/ I think this was noted as a bug last year so I'm hoping it's fixed. I see nothing in the documentation to say whether this has happened. If it continues to be an issue I can probably allow editing of archived threads (but I'd rather not allow this for hopefully obvious reasons).
  12. I was about to delete this thread and never acknowledge its existence but realised I should probably just add the new section.
  13. Should be fixed now. Please post here if not.
  14. 2FA via Google Authenticator is now enabled. You may set this up here: https://airsoft-forums.uk/settings/account-security/ This will remain an optional - encouraged - choice, but it's there nontheless for those who want it. It's only currently configured to prompt when changing certain account settings or when logging in from a new device. New users will be informed of this feature when signing in for the first time.
