It's Korean. A simple Google translate would show that it is just spam for a casino site. If only the forum had a "report post" ability...

Or if only the HR dept would open the purse strings to spend the 60 bucks for the anti-spam licence I was paying out of pocket back when I was working for R2. But they didn't, and the licence expired. So there you go.

lol that tells alot we know r2 are tight they squeek wen they walk

who needs to pay when u can programme a few lines into the forum php inside the website its very easy to block websites addresses

example:

//Define the minimum number of posts for "good" users
//Users below this threshold are considered potential spammers
$user_posts_threshold = 3;

//strip whitespace characters in the post body
$msgwows = $data['message'];
$msgwows = str_replace(" ", "", $msgwows);
$msgwows = str_replace("\n", "", $msgwows);
$msgwows = str_replace("\r", "", $msgwows);
$msgwows = str_replace("\t", "", $msgwows);

if (!$user->data['is_registered'] ||
$user->data['user_posts'] < $user_posts_threshold) {
if (strpos($msgwows, 'http://') !== FALSE ||
strpos($msgwows, 'ftp://') !== FALSE ||
strpos($msgwows, 'www.') !== FALSE ||
strpos($msgwows, '[url') !== FALSE) {
trigger_error("You are not allowed to post URLs!");
**
**

to block images that can also be used as spam

example:

if (!$user->data['is_registered'] ||
$user->data['user_posts'] < $user_posts_threshold) {
if (strpos($msgwows, '[img') !== FALSE) {
trigger_error("You are not allowed to post images!");
**
**

adding text so only english language can be used

example:

if (!$user->data['is_registered'] ||
$user->data['user_posts'] < $user_posts_threshold) {
if (!is_english($msgwows, 0.75)) {
trigger_error("Only English posts are allowed here!");

Well, problem there is R2 didn't/doesn't want any restrictions that would keep new players from being able to post right away with any problems or errors. So if it's someone's first time to the forums and they need to post a screenshot of an issue, or a link to said screenshot, gotta allow it. Also, we have players from all around the world, so restricting languages isn't an option either. It was just easier to use a service that tracked suspicious IPs. Wasn't perfect, but it blocked quite a bit.
