Fighting Spam
Posted: 2009-04-14, 13:44
We're currently experiencing an increased amount of successful automated registrations to our Ca3D-Engine forums with subsequent spam posts. This is currently a general world-wide problem, not only with our forums, and we're currently establishing several counter measures. (In fact, a new method has been activated today.)
Some of these measures are somewhat experimental though, and not all are always effective, so that our kind forum users are sometimes bothered with notification emails about new posts that have been triggered by bots posting spam.
We're very sorry about these incidents, and hope to be able to improve the situation soon.
Good news is that in the meanwhile, we're working intensively and successfully on fixing the remaining issues for the next release (proper physics integration will be possible without adversely affecting level load time, almost no impact on memory requirements (thus better CPU cache coherence), and only minimal impact on FPS). Stay tuned!
