Oolite Bulletins

Was trying to test registering, but I only have two email addresses (which are already in use), so abandoned that. Found this message though: You have exceeded the maximum number of login attempts allowed. In addition to your username and password the invisible reCAPTCHA v3 will be used to authentic...

I think there's mention of "bamboo torture/execution" in Conan Doyle's novel The Lost World.

Or should we unleash our Spam Assassins on them?

The grey bots are beyond our reach.

Right! Then that first post has to be approved.

At the moment, spambots are killed as and when they join. There are busy days, and there are quiet days.
While Big D and I are active, they're not really a problem. First post approval helps, of course.

Do we need this?

Don't know! For the record, I dislike captchas... especially google recaptchas.

Folks, I just changed captcha to google recaptcha v3
plz report if something going wrong...

That's only for new members/account changes, right? Some sites use a captcha every time you log-in (SSC being one example).

Original reference is the film 2001: ASO, right?

Other music used in that film (Sunrise from Also sprach Zarathustra) makes splendid Oolite theme music.

I presume the "Team" thingy is a phpbb default "feature". If it's considered undesirable to display the usernames of Mods/Admins, then it'd be better to remove the "feature" entirely (if possible). Is it needed? No, not really!

I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove anything!

The Team's gone missing!

About the instruction to change passwords: have you considered a mass email? I think we did that after the forum hack.

Hush!

I think docking manually actually saves time in game...

Indeed it does!
