Fwd: [Wine] The easiest way to convert Mod/Tod video from JVC and any vi

[Austin English]

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!

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.

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.

Well that didn't help for long.

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...)

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...
