Doesn't matter the invitation system has already been inplace, and we'll ban the vietnam IP's. But sadly one of my Super Mods are from there.

It's probably an image. They have had to ban some image hosts I think like Warez-BB. If you just keep removing parts of the post till it accepts it you'll find the part that's not allowed. It doesn't just have to be a link. (I coded that mod so know how it works)

yes it was the image hoster that was making the problems like you replied to me - but I use imageshack which is widely used
and is a good image hoster - no ads no earning throught it and especially no adult ads - so if you consider to remove ban from imageshack

it would be very nice
if not ok :)

thanks in advance whatever you and other staff members decide
ps:
I tried to pm you this bu5t your inbox is full so ...
 
Banning whole country? How smart is that? :S
I know most spammers are from there, but I don't think that's fair.

And no, I'm not from Vietnam.
 
I am also struggling with the same issue, where they post invalid codec movie, usually size of 700MB, but if you download and rar, it will be merely 5MB, these rar files only contain some random text to achieve 700MB size (in a affected movie file).

What i have done?
1. Restricted Submission from normal members.
2. If you want to submit anything, you need to apply by Contact us system.
3. Moderator scan newly upgraded uploads,

Good Solution:-
The possible good solution is to create an automate script which download the rar files automatically, extract and re-rar and if size of files differ in more than 30%, then definitely it is virus!
 
Hi Myth? do you think SMS Verification worth like Google/Facebook to fight these spammers? I am thinking to create a Patch for vBulletin in my free time to verify their mobile number and monitor their country from IP and Mobile.

Some day we need a service to have Global Resporitory for all warez forum, where one forum detect spammer ip to list to main sites, so all child sites come to know who is spamming like Akismet" do.
 
Few approaches:
- only those users can post in Downloads area who have X posts and are member of the community since X time.
OR
- the above said example: new users are registered in a group where they don't have permissions to post uploads, only in the forum. After invited by an uploader, they can get access to the downloads area too, but every uploader is responsible for the user they invite.
OR
- a simple approval system before posts goes online.

that is too many moderators.

if u want to see the number of members joining grow. u can always just permanently disable creating new threads for new members unless it's an invite. same thing as closed forums but u gain alot of new members in the process :P
 
Well it's harder to control such issues on a forum unless you give posting permissions to specific members only, and/or validate each article before it gets published. xD

Personally I would apply the first option..
 
- a simple approval system before posts goes online. I think that's what u should add, but maybe it's hard to approve all posts, cuz they are a lot of people upload a lot of things
