You know, I think that tax and spammers top my list of most hated things to ever grace this planet.
I think that once I have finished programming my current project that I am gonna have to create a plugin for phpbb2 that totally fucks up your day.
A nice quick bit of code that if it finds a URL in a post, it opens the page and checks all readable items and if it finds selected words... booom.. post fails and your account is blocked and a notification is sent to admins including the offending URL.
Even with your encoded Javascript routines (that have attempted to hide the majority of the displayed items) my plugin would be successful as you have not and cannot hide enough to stop this idea working.
Its really as simple as using something like "fopen($post_url, "r");" and then cache the page into a string, and then "if (stripos($cache, $keywords) { //mysql query to block account } I can get around any header(locations) that you use to redirect also (purely based on the fact that if the url posted leads to a page that redirects... you get blocked), so don't think that stops anything.
So, stop posting spam on these boards or very soon there will be an easy to install phpbb2 mod that stops you on ALL boards.
Nuff said
