Quote from: Pohjolas Daughter on April 19, 2024, 04:05:55 AM@Dungeon Master   What about installing one of those "Prove that you are not a bot" guards that one has to do before they can access the website?  Too expensive or complicated to set up?  And how effective are they?

Just a thought.  :)

PD

Are you volunteering to solve one of those silly puzzles every time you like a post? :)

It would certainly cut down on frivolous posting. (Are there any posts here that are not frivolous?)

Check all images with a crosswalk  ;D

I hate it!

Does anyone here get out enough to recognize a crosswalk? Check all boxes with a diminished seventh chord.

Check the boxes with the best three recordings of Bax's Tintagel is more like GMG.  ;D

From Wikipedia, AD 3576:

The War of the Tintagels, aka the GMG Civil War, is the longest flame war in history. It started in 2024 and is still being fought today. It took the lives of 17,685,432 pages and still counting.  ;D

lol  No, what I was thinking about (and I should have stated) was that people be required to login...as in become a member in order to have access to the forum.  And have it so that one would have to prove that they were a human (so to speak) in order to register (and perhaps for subsequent logins?  That might be a bit too much though.).  Sorry, but I had thought that the unsaid part of this was obvious, but it wasn't.  :-[

Requiring people to be logged in to view the forum would make it difficult to attract potential new members to the site.

I wonder if the site software has features that can be activated to block this sort of thing. Refusing to accept a request from a given address until a fixed time has passed since the previous request (a second or two) would throttle it.

Your first comment had also crossed my mind...wondering how much it might deter people.  We classical music lovers are a determined group however!  8)  ;)

Your second point is an interesting one.  Also, is there a way to block downloading of pages/topics/threads?  Would that be possible?  Just throwing out some ideas.

I bet most of us would agree on Boult and Barbirolli.  It is the third one where the fight begins!

I seem to remember on a different classical music site I would occasionally be told that I had to wait a few seconds before hitting like, or something similar.

Quote from: Spotted Horses on April 19, 2024, 07:17:16 AMOn the other hand, what could an malicious actor want from this site? To gain unauthorized access to our preference for Bruckner symphonies? :)

Profiling lovers of Havergal Brian perhaps? ;D

Correct
Freedom of speech is a right for all humans. Being curtailed by a moral society in what one can say these days and what not, creates discordance almost instantly. Before you know it, you already have offended someone. The only thing one can do is stop communicating which will destroy humanity

Yes this is so good!  I don't know if it was Rob or the Chinese bots have finished their work, but I'm glad the forum is restored.
