Strange weird people.....

Post by sagevanni »

How are these ASS***** getting approved to post stuff on this site? :rant:

It should not be happening.

I don't feel safe here. I feel at any time my computer will be infected by logging on to the site,

Can this be be stopped?

Sage,

When the site was suspended, I was advised to use a reCatchpa instead of the question and answer as a means of preventing unwanted members.

It soon became apparent that this was not a good idea so I have gone back to the Q&A system which requires prospective members to have some knowledge about Links.

There will always be the odd occasion when someone slips through the net but as soon as they post anything inappropriate I de-activate them.

I am 99.9% certain that you cannot get a virus just be browsing the forum, reading and answering posts. The only thing you need to be wary of is clicking on external links, but this applies wherever you are on the internet these days.

Hi Sage,

It is when you click on links or download files where you are likely to get into trouble.

Obviously have decent Anti-virus software running and up-to-date and be wary of where you download files from and from who. The best protection is what you do yourself, or really don't do.
