Would spammers listen to your advice? Nah, we may need other
measures if this gets worse, which it will, eventually...

It was posted from the forums, right? Is there any way of getting
this under control? I've noticed many sites that allow anonymous
posts have very serious trouble with this, Yahoo Sports for
instance, where the comments section is almost always a waste of
time. Moderation is probably not practical, it would require a lot
of long-term commitment and effort and would it work for forwarding?

Any way of controlling this without putting up too many barriers?
Gmail's option of moderating new members works well, but it's a
barrier.

Captchas or textchas. An anonymous user must correctly answer some
sort of challenge before posting a message or creating an account.

Yeah, I just added some additional login checks and spam protection to
the forums.

No, as far as I can see, it was just that this particular user told
facebook to invite everybody in his address book (including this mailing
list) to facebook.

My mistake then, I didn't think it was appropriate behaviour, as
did others. But list etiquette gets worse year by year... I guess
it's a normal cultural shift, though it would not be exactly
welcomed by some.

So this is normal for the Facebook generation, eh... Makes old
timers increasingly pine for the good ol' days. :-)

No, it isn't normal or acceptable behaviour IMO - I just wanted to clarify
the technical reason (as far as I saw it).

I'm equally annoyed by people who have mailed me occasionally to ask
something about something I've released, when they months or years later
send invites to community X or Y - people that I don't even know, just
that I for some reason happen to exist in their address books.

Pine? That wasn't an email client pun, was it? Wink

Ha ha, it wasn't intentional, but I guess it leaked out of the
subconscious. :-)

Martin Storsjö thinks it's a legit mistake, but it did come from
the forum, so I think Jeff Post got it right. Google the name of
the OP and it doesn't look good at all. Refs:

http://forums.libsdl.org/viewtopic.php?t=4943
http://lists.libsdl.org/pipermail/sdl-libsdl.org/2009-September/072365.html

It's nice that spam is under control here; two thumbs up for Sam
and the crew.

That said, I'll stick to mailing lists :-)

How can i unblock facebook on my computer without a proxy? Facebook is blocked on my computer, and so are proxy sites. Is there any other way to unblock/get onto facebook?
