Some changes

Post by Brian the Fist »

The following changes have been made recently:
  • Fully implemented SSL encryption
  • Moved Bard's Tale IV forum from Sequels to main BT area
  • Created a new forum for the 2018/19 Remastered Trilogy of Bard's Tale
  • Implemented some changes as a first step to GDPR conformity (e.g. privacy rules)
  • Contact area now includes anti-spam countermeasures (only required for guest users)
Will work a little bit more on the GDPR topic within the next few weeks...

Also I am thinking about implementing a special download section for this board which then would include all files that are currently available via the Adventurers' Guild main page (i. e. www.bardstale.de - however, this is something which I expect to be realistic in mid-term.

Hey, can you cast MIBL or something on the spambots that have been posting recently?

I already deleted quite a bunch of spam posts - mainly the ones that have been reported to me. So if you could identify some more spambots this would really be appreciated.

'Dogcat250' seems to be another spambot (per the deluges in forums 5 and 6).

User has been deleted as well as all of the posts. Also I updated the board's spam countermeasures.

Our latest spammer is Abninat.

So much for the board's anti spam measures.

Actually, it seems my avatar doesn't function anymore for some strange reason.

I slaved away on that thing for minutes.
