Spambots & general update

Post by **Pikachu3828** » Sat 05 Jan, 2008 9:10 pm

For the past few weeks The Pika Club has been subject to a 'spambot' attack. These bots registered and spammed offensive images and links that were against the rules. While many users complained, TPC staff tried their best to remove the offending material as soon as possible.

This should hopefully no longer be an issue now that a new CAPTCHA system has been implemented. We would like to apologise to any users who may have stumbled across the spambot posts and found them offensive; the new system should put a halt to it but TPC staff shall remain ever diligent.

There have been a few other fixes made around the site; mostly minor ones. Rest assured we are still hard at work at The Pika Club. We have a to-do list I would like to make public here to give you an idea of what is coming soon. Green stands for complete, orange is underway, and red is not yet started. Red items may be subject to change/deletion.

Implement new CAPTCHA system
Forum backend upgrades
Member of the Month (We haven't forgotten)
Character item shop
Fairer custom title prices
Implement more forum styles
New TPC advertising campaign
Main site overhaul
