  • Sorry for all this, it appears to be human spam ....

    I beg the differ ... it would take an army of people to do ...

    A bot net with a good AI I think.

    You should check around the internet ... This thing has been going steady since last January/February ... spamming countless of forums. (talking way over the thousands fora here)

    Odd really its not popping up in the news.

  • I hope this issue can be adressed in a definitive way soon, because this spamming totally takes away the joy I feel coming to this forum to help others..

    Same here.

    I posted a suggestion the other day which was able to stop this bot network on another site.

    But enduring and deleting seems to be to way scirra wants to take this ...

    I hope they know this bot network has been running since beginning of this year :\ not looking like it will stop any time soon.

    Please close registration until this spamming stuff is sorted ....

    There is a rapid decline in visitors, and it will not do the forum/site reputation any good.

    This spam is making visiting here a lot less pleasant and t.b.h. it looks like crap and poor upkeep that it is allowed to go on for days without a simple temporary solution such as closing registration for a few days (with a notification informing them) until a more permanent fix is in place ....

  • Really I am trying to still figure out what places trigger once work and don't work

    Quite a few actually.

    During an event that potentially runs continuously, which needs an action executed just once, sub event it with a trigger once.

  • Couldn't trigger once stop it once it first become true for that object??

    If not touching trigger once while true?

    Nope, the player has the ability to continually hold down the touch/mouse and the player and will continue to walk in that direction and angle

    After some research, it looks like this happened last February too on a global scale for a wide variety of forums.

    I saw some reports of having success blocking this thing automatically by the use of Mollom.

    Apparently you can train this content monitoring program (by blocking things) to stop things like this from happening.

    Here is a drupal related site thread with some information: https://www.drupal.org/node/2434091

    Comment #13 looks promising

  • Whaha, apparently, it's spamming the shiznit out of youtube too.

  • It's been my experience that inverted used as not touching with multiple objects can really drop the fps.

    A simple Boolean solves everything.

    Hmm, I have not experienced that, and I use the not touching thing in several situations.

    In this situation the touching of the HUD objects enables/disables actions, as the objects are buttons.

    With the need to leave the direction/click location, determining player angle, intact, I need that particular inverted touch there, preventing the target x,y being set if you use the HUD buttons.

  • I'd be more worried with the draw the inverted is touching hud can have.

    ~25 checks per tick

  • I've never experienced such a spam infestation of this kind before. If I was a suspicious person, I could almost imagine it being a deliberate attack from, for instance, a recently banned user.

    Just turn off new user registrations for a few days. It will hardly be that much of an issue to new legitimate users, as long as a message informs them of the reason.

    Looking at the posting frequency, it is automated, constantly 2 sets of 2 posts a minute, then a set of 3 posts a minute.

    It looks like it is automated advertising for the developer/owner of the sites involved.

    The head lines from the subject pop up in google too.

    Its been spamming ubi, battle.net, and several others.

    How about adding something like: when 3 licensed members report a profile, the reported profiles posting abilities gets halted until checked by staff ?
