mibby Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Ya, hopefully they'll get it sorted. I've been getting a bunch of time-out and could not errors... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom B Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) Same here yesterday and today (early afternoon California). It's really slow. I'm seeing a lot of "error 500" notifications (time-out) and other connection errors. Edit: Interestingly, I've seen the speed return to normal for a while during the same time of day.

paulo Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) Is Larry kind of admitting that an Addictive Drums type attitude towards the updating of software might have been better ? Edited September 16, 2023 by paulo 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grem Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 The new softeware is a little better at keeping the spamers at bay. I think maybe the trade-off is when they are trying to get in forcefully, it may slow down as a result of the software keeping the spammer out. Now this is just my uneducated assumption about how things work based on extensive reading of all kinds of BS I came across!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as Larry posts, the software is thinking he is a spammer!!! LOL!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Tim Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Yeah, we got an absolute belting yesterday from spammers- I was on there for most of the day doing cleanup behind the scenes. The forum software was hiding a good lot of the threads from public view, thankfully, and outright blocking others, so it wouldn't surprise me if the reason we were getting so many 500/502/504 errors was the sheer number of attempts at getting in the door. I think the spam filters could probably be tweaked a little though (something mods don't have access to, unfortunately - that's admins only) because it'll get tripped up on things like airlines, a group of numbers similar to phone numbers, etc. I'll likely need to unblock my own post here for even mentioning that, actually. It's definitely helping things but there's collateral damage along the way, unfortunately. I'll bring it up with the team and see if anyone has any good suggestions, but I'd say this is the best of a bunch of crappy options at the moment. EDIT: Lolz, yep - had to approve my post due to filtered words 😛 1 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes sense. Thank you for your service! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
