    We need some training in crisis situation virtual field, for example, hypothetically speaking if you have a simple attack as site from spammers how quickly can you respond ?

    or even worse, hypothetically speaking in the event of a DoS attack how quickly can you bring up again your site?

    I suggest to play with different kind of scenarios and see what happens, and when I say play I mean to make a team and give that team a permission to start a crisis situation , within a week or so limit and see how you can correspond to such threats.

    Just a suggestion :)

    Don't limit the training to edge kind of situations, for example if someone gets banned , how quickly you can unban him , an account can get hacked , an ip can be shared, you the admins / mods of this site should be able to respond as quickly as possible to such matters.

    Also do you have a keyword monitoring software that is compatible with such kind of forums ? it would be nice to monitor for example words like...die...kill...and such...it would be a quick way of going to the thread that has such kind of words and see if anything weird is being written that could bring to your site trouble.
    We have a team of Mods working in different time zones. I keep tabs on totse when no one active.
    In case of DoS or DDoS there is little we can do, however I can restrict access to the website using htaccess and Deny the spammers any advantage. It will take the website down but it will be in our control. Plus, the IPs used can be checked and banned later on.

    If something happens from software side of things like Vbull, Drupal etc I am fairly quick at resolving these issues. During the time I was given access to server and almost everything I have maintained a steady uptime and kept the website working without major issues. From December 2010 till now we have handled major problems.

    We were hacked back in 2010 and that was because of the shitty host and even in that crisis we kept working.

    Am I constantly checking things, yes I am.

    We do not need a keyword monitoring system since I check majority of the threads created and if something does I will have an e-mail or someone will report that post.

    Thanks Dfg for the info. But, for example anyone can register with a fake email, my email for example is a temp email created for this site, it worked for 10 minutes and then self-destructed.

    Don't remember if activation link was sent.....if not , even more easy for someone to just troll without exposing his identity or safety.

    And hypothetically speaking if someone decides to troll, too much time in someone's hands or just a simple obsession , then what are you going to do ? just ban every ip of his , ip after ip ? practically the ip's can be unlimited.

    And last but not least, why visitors can view most of the threads ?, it's something like test and drive ? lol...

    Anyway, thanks for responding on first place.
    When someone trolls hard to tries to harm the community by creating drama for no good reason, we limit the users ability to post. I implemented a new system that I monitor myself. It lets me take care of problematic users without banning them. The system is quite simple and it works because not many people know the complete details.

    I rarely ban IPs and if I do I take out ranges and pinpoint users location if they decide to attack Totse. I am not afraid of contacting their local ISPs and taking them out. I am after a Totsean and when it comes to fucking people, I am quite creative :).

    Keeping threads open to the public has always been Totse tradition and it makes sense. Since if you keep the content open the Search engines will index your content and it will improve your rating. Plus my Advert scheme relies on an open forum.

    I am aiming to built a transparent forum where things are open as possible. Keeping this open prevent power abuse and it also prevents other major mistakes down the line.

    Yes I totally agree with the second part Dfg,


    On another note, I practically never log in through your ssl but today I decided to wander the site with your SSL, it's kind of tricky actually, if you just press upon the link of SSL it's just ssl the first page then it turns to un encrypted again, so practically someone must put by his own the

    https://www.totse.info for example, then it is encrypted all the way long, unless if I do something wrong.

    Regarding the first part, local ISP's...if they use Tor, or proxies, kinda difficult to find them, if they use much more secure connections then kinda impossible to find their real ISP's...there are some ISP's that really don't give a damn if you complain to them, even the vpn of Pirate Bay doesn't give one iota if they complain to them, not unless it's something sensitive...the only sensitive nowdays is the CP , in all other situations most ISP's will ignore you probably.

    By the way, could you limit my ability to post for one or two days, would love to check the weak points of your new monitoring system.

    Thanks again for your reply.

    Well, if I limit your posting abilities it will just increase the backlog. Your posts have to be screened by the section mods before they appear to regular users.

    I know about the SSL issue, I was thinking of purchasing SSL for Totse and completely closing support for non-ssl connections. In this way everyone will be a bit secure. But SSL certificates require money :(.

    Regarding the local ISP part, who says I am going to play fair :). If CP gets their attention, then I will use CP. If it requires changing things here and there it will be done. Again, I will repeat I am a Totsean, fucking up people is something that I cherish in some cases excel at.

    Regarding SSL - you can use the Firefox addon "HTTPS Everywhere" to ensure that you maintain a constant SSL connection to the site. I know it's a little bit of extra effort, but it's a quick fix until we get something properly done about it.

    __________


    My opinion is that all totse member's should feel like a team, we should not be divided into friends and not friends, black sheeps and white sheeps, we constantly expect from others to evolute life in something that will be positive for the future generations , but when it comes personally to each one of us to do something for that change we act like the one's we so are against.


    So I ask from Dfg to take out the friend's request option and all totse members to feel like a team and not divided into groups.


    Thank you.

    ps

    you can also put it in a community view and the community to decide about that.

    It's a built-in fuction. Can't really do anything about it.

    Nope, but others might. I don't feel the need to use other senses. I already can feel my hand handling the messy bits.

    Oh, I do wash my hands after finishing every time.
    Also, why do you have to use your left hand?

    It's part of religion. We're told not to use the right hand for handling the junk. Even to this day I don't touch my penis using my right hand unless I am really forcing myself. You get used to this when you're told from day one to follow these rules.

    Water + Soap.

    We use Muslim Showers, they're handheld showers and they pack a powerful punch. You aim it directly at your ass and wipe using your left hand to makesure nothing sticks. After your ass is super clean. You wash your hands and you're done.

    When fapping, I always take a pee and clean my junk etc. Washing hands before meal and anything else is part of my life now.

    Some mods were shifted to Demi-Mod status based on their performance on totse.info. Currently more Mod might axed. Just cleaning up the house.

    I don't really see the point of demi-mods. What you call someone during the inital trial period doesn't make any difference to the fact they're on trial. And if someone gets demoted to demi-mod then presumably that establishes they're no longer fit to be a full mod, despite having the same duties, which begs the question... why are they still on the team at all?

    The Demi Mods were introduced to give a new mod some time to adjust and prevent abuse due to various reasons. I moved Current mods to Demi-Mod status to give them a wakeup call. I normally don't do this but since they were with us from the start I thought it would be better to give them a second chance. If they don't get up to pace in few days they will be removed. I am currently doing a Mod review and removing unwanted Mods.

    Can you please put asterisks to the links whilst someone uses the forums of Totse.info offline ?

    That would force him with a good way to register if he wants to press upon the link.

    It's easy and it won't interfere with the concept of Totse.info regarding the open forum character of it.

    Nope, unless we really need to, I am not going to apply that restriction and if it gets implemented it would be applicable only in porn section.

    Can you also put a restriction to the spoilers ? only registered members to be able to see what's in them ?

    Can be done if required.
  • DfgDfg Admin
    edited April 2011
    I really like the idea of the spoiler thing. It makes it so we can put a clause in the rules that say when you sign up, you agree to not sue and such. And everything along those lines can be secured via spoiler.

    Edit: Or at least we could have a special type of spoiler that only registered users can view. And the regular spoiler for everything else.

    Suggestion :

    lock the section that has the porn passes as soon as possible, they can exchange passes through im or after a disclaimer in that section that the user must at least have 200 or so posts , something does not just feel right here, call it instinct if you like. And check what I asked if you can.

  • edited July 2011
    ^ Y'see, I'm not sure about this. Generally, name changing is frowned upon but you don't have many posts here and it's not like we all know you really well, so I don't think it would be a problem. That's just my opinion though, you'll have to hope that Dfg see's this :) You could try PM'ing him and see if you can work it out?

    But yeah, I'm personally not against the idea.
