seems the spammers are hard at work. of course the post moderation settings are not doing any justice since even though they are not active and most specifically cant really use anything on the site, they are still able to post their spam in the Description area on the registration form. I disabled the email block, so no email is required, though it requires admin approval on the profile to be activated.
I have hacked up or attempted to hack the blogs area, because that and the store seem to be the spammers favorite place to attack these days. i have edited the tinymce functions, but that doesnt stop them 100% either, because they can paste into the text area, and it loads up their spam.
i need to know how to disable the <a href tag, or for that matter any tag, but not for all users, so you guys are going to have to put your thinking caps on, and consider these features that you provide, and allow more control from the admin panel. the other thing that i believe would help to some degree, is to establish on a per membership bases level, the use of bbcode. this would thwart their copy and paste. also an option to disable pasting into these editors would be beneficial. but again, this needs to be manageable by the admin, from the admin panel
