7.0.4 EXCELLENT JOB BOONEX!!!!!

after a few upgrade problems.. mainly directories.. I have tested this 7.0.4 out pretty much and it seems pretty solid and functional.

congrats boonex.. you finally did a excellent job.

Very  true, I second that...

The spam features are actually working!!

I have been able to remove "China" from .htaccess allowing members from there to sign up, they have tried several times to post blogs, forums, and other places with no luck! They are trying to post in the "Ads" section now..

Just an idea:

Yes I think that anti spam is important, but sometimes not helpful at all, if you willingly limit access to your site.

The more promissing Idea is, that ppl from selected countries are on a "approve by admin" basis only for all posts they make within the system. And if approved, they can be approved for once, or for all. And of course everyone can be put to the greylist, only some are there from the very beginning.

Should be no problem to do that. (Not me actually)

That way, one does not discriminate anyone, since the person does not know, that this is a countermeasure, that accuses him/her automatically to be a spammer, due to his or her heritage.

Sorry, I'm not discriminating against anyone in partucular.

It's that over time, the majority of the spammers are from "China" some from other countries including America.

In the past I have had to take measures to remove China from access, now with the new spam tools its now not such a problem.

Like I said, I'm sorry if I made others feel inferior, was not my intention.
