Weekly Update
13/10/2011​

1. Anti-Spam
   • Akismet
     • Ive added Akismet to the forum using a free license.
     • It adds a spam button to the postbit, press it if the post is spam.
   • Spamalyzer
     • Attempts to stop spam posts by weighing the content of the posts and trys to see how likely the post is to be spam or not.
     • If the post gets a certain value of weighing, then the post is reported
     • If other values are reached, then other actions occur.
   • Spam Be Gone
     • One click button for admins to delete user, ban email and remove posts by user.
   • Captcha
     • reCaptcha has been added but has been replaced by a monetizing captcha method.
     • This might be re-replaced as revenue from this plugin isnt coming in.
   • Security Questions
     • Ive added 3 security questions to registration. They are basic but should only be answered correctly by humans
2. Logo
   • Ive obtained the logo file so I can now apply my own edits to the logo.
     • I will be making the text large so its more easily readable.
3. Achievements
   • I have removed the "Achievements:" from the postbit just to leave the icons, much tidier
   • Im also tempted to remove all automatic achievements such as post count etc as many peoples achievements postbit are looking the same.
     • The above point is making me think we should change from MyAchievements to MyAwards, a point Carolus brought up in the staff meeting.

Thoughts please ?

I clicked the spam button on a post, and I think it removed the post. So you might review this so regular users don't have moderation privileges.


+1 for the MyAwards suggestion.

i like the MyAcheivments name change and the logo i think the imige should be shorter so that it doesnt take up too much room in the users webbrowser and make the bottom line of writing a bit bigger and leave the rest

Its not a name change, its a differnet plugin.
