The wiki is the ONLY form of documentation there is for much of the features of the emu.

I would think this would be an insanely large priority to fix.

At LEAST put in a captcha system or something.... please!

I agree, losing critical information is not a good thing.

Simple instructions...

1. Upload the files in the zip to the directory where the wiki registration page is from http://emu.norrath.info/upload_files.zip

2. Check the form submit, and in the php file that the wiki submits to.. add the following:

Code:
require_once("securimage.php");
$img = new Securimage();
$valid = $img->check($_POST['code']);
3. Wrap the if condition around the entire php code that acceps the form data:

Code:
if ($valid == "true") {
wraping code here
} else {
echo("F***ing spammer!");
}
4. Edit the html on the form to add the following fields:

Code:
<img src="securimage_show.php?sid=<? md5(uniqid(time())) ?>">
<input type="text" name="code">
There ya go =) Problem solved =P

thanks... installed... hope it helps.

I am still interested in hearing why you think that the day of the month field did not require people to cutsomize their bots to attack it...

Looks like that captcha was a waste of time;
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...=RecentChanges
seen how the newest spam bomb was at 2:30 am and FNW must have placed fix before he posted at 12:00 am

EDIT;
Maybe these are spam bot accounts already registered and need to be removed?

All cleaned up again. Some of those bot logins did look familiar. Looks like the only way to know for sure is delete 'em and see if new ones show up. I also wonder if every one of them are actually bots.
