Um... alright, here's what I would love some advice on.
I've got some pretty industrious spammers that are spamming our threads 6.5 install.
They have access to a large range of IPs so banning them even using wildcards isn't working.
They have been getting past our censor for their advertising material (i.e. text email address and website) by inserting color tags between letters in posts (i.e. add{TAG}re{TAG}s{TAG}s) which displays human readable but isn't caught by the censor, and putting together a censor with lots of wildcards can backfire badly (i.e. if the elements all occur within someone's post, censors their entire post).
Also, the censor doesn't seem to allow me to prevent them from linking out, as it ignores all text within a UBB tag - so I have all the URLS he links, but I can't stop him from doing it.
Are there ways to:
A) Get UBB.threads 6.5 to censor URLs within URL tags?
B) Get the UBB.threads censor to ignore inline tags in text?
Please, any help is greatly appreciated.
