Fwd: [Wine] The easiest way to convert Mod/Tod video from JVC and any vi
There's been a lot of this spam recently (below). Can you take a look Jeremy? Perhaps banning that IP range if it's in the same block? Thanks! -- -Austin ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: llhhhh0 <wineforum-user(a)winehq.org> Date: Wed, Apr 15, 2009 at 3:51 AM Subject: [Wine] The easiest way to convert Mod/Tod video from JVC and any vi To: wine-users(a)winehq.org question: 1: What is .Mod and .Tod video? 2: How to convert .Mod and .Tod video to AVI, MPG, WMV, MPEG? 3. How to convert any video to the format you want? Answer: 1 .MOD and .TOD is the video format generated by most popular digital camcorders such as Panasonic SV AV100, Canon MOD Camcorders, JVC (MOD and TOD) and Panasonic (MOD only). It is not the common format, so it can not be accepted by popular portable players.
I changed the text question on the signup page. That should help a little. Where it will not help is mail coming from the mailing list. If you notice a spam from the list, let me know the email and I will will add that email address and/or domain to the blockers list in the mailman mailing list manager itself. -Newman Austin English wrote:

There hasn't been much spam coming from the mailing list side lately (a few from people thinking wine-users is about the drink rather than the software, but that's it). The forum's been the source recently. -- -Austin
If it is mostly automated spam, it might help to try and confuse the scripts by inserting traps for them that users can't see (fields hidden via CSS, etc...) http://jkroon.blogs.uls.co.za/it/spam/ahead-of-the-spammers-for-once Human spammers are a totally different issue... And most solutions that I can think of would either increase moderator load (such as moderating a user's first post, which is probably not supported by phpbb anyway...), or require a lot of manual maintenance (Keyword based filters)... What the spam do seem to have in common: External images (and usually lots of external images) and external links... Quite a few sites ask the users to solve simple maths problems as well, but that could not be too hard to bypass... Gert
