No, nothing like that. Basically, just having the target="_blank" in the link attributes for links to external sites.

In the homepage of CodeProject, there are two junk articles 'Waiting for Approval'. They just indicate like
rgr authored by rylyty
f authored by rylyty
I have reported them but in the long run, can something be done to strengthen the Article Submission Wizard to prevent this sabotage from striking too very often.
Links:

The article submission wizar needs a CAPTCHA to thwart spambots from dropping sh*t all over.

a) This isn't an "acute" problem. This is the moderation trap working perfectly. The articles have been deleted.
b) Please remember the kid sister rule for general site areas.

I actually meant 'significant' or 'intense' issue. Does it convey a different meaning?

Thank you for clarifying. If that is the 'string' which has hurt, I would sincerely and deeply apologize for the same.
As a matter of fact, it is really irritating to see the folks from Kerala, India constantly trying to plagarize content and involve in 'Credit Theft' in more than one ways than one. That is the reason of the swift outburst of feelings. Sorry again, if I had hurt someone.

ReCaptcha[^] might be useful too, if this is an automated spammer.
|

I think putting a captcha on the Article Submission Wizard is an excellent idea. This idiot hit one of my articles, too, and the only reason (as far as I can see) is that it was on the CP front page. So I think there is a strong possibility this might be a bot.

You mean on the message posting page?
It's not a bot and unfortunately CAPTCHA would inconvenience tens of thousands of members for the sake of a single member.
I'm working on a system to just catch and remove it instead. We'll also look at what legal action we can take.

With a little SQL Touch, KTSInfotech is a table while all these leenee, shee and other crap are different views on the table.

Maybe instead of blocking the IP - which can be proxied - the contents of the post should be checked for any of the sites the spammer lists. At the very least, any of the usual sites in his list could be replaced with the url of the CP error page.

I'm not sure what types of word filters CP has, but adding that domain so it wouldn't let them add a message that contains it would help. It used to be that the links were in his signature so I think he's running out of options.

Hi All,
When I tried to update one of my Article (unedited one), it gave me a error at upload new image page. Then I tried to upload it again, that time it took it in and proceed to edit article content page.. I edited the article and preview it.. all work well so far.. then I click on next button and it continuously prompt me an error as bellow
There was a problem creating your article.
The create directory failed due to an IO error on Web09.
But I saw the update being accepted when I close the edit page and freshly browse the article page
IE 6.0

Same thing just happened to me with a new article. I have emailed Chris.
|
|
|
|

The article should be fine - it's just a staging server that's being cantankerous. I've pulled it from production.

You didn't redefine that term too, did you?
I checked again, and although the title says "VB.NET - Games" there is much more C#
than there is VB on this page[^]

It has changed now, the VB.NET" part of the title is gone.
Thanks.

I've been playing around a bit with XNA recently, and it's quite entertaining/ How about a message board / article section for XNA?
At the moment I'm using http://creators.xna.com and www.ziggyware.com, but I prefer the CP interface / layout... 
I have no blog...
