Spam possibilites

[linksor.com]

I have found that spammers are registering automatically (or manually if recaptcha is activated) on IU directories as a users, filling details (especially homepage and biography) and putting there a lot of wierd links !

So, take care and edit templates.

OR disallow in robots.txt file user_search.php and user_detail.php

I'm pretty sure they use something like roboform or 1password. Do they create linkback in the user's profile page?

[linksor.com]

Yes - there is a linkback (homepage) to the site.

It is a new backlink method. Be careful. Google it for "angela backlink" for detail.

I will remove html tag of user detail in next release.
Let me know if you have any idea.

Is it a option to make it like it needs to be approved by the admin before it shows?
just like the ratings.

[dody]

There is no option for approval at the moment. But you may remove the link for member listing.

user_search.php and user_detail.php

This is a good idea

[dody]

What happen if they are approved then they begin adding their backlinks?
I think it is better if indexu can scan anchor links in profile page. Good?

[hermit36]

it sounds gd, although indexu is a gd software but there are still alot of template issues which might bring down its name it will be better if we can customized the user registration page just like link

[dody]

Here is the easiest way. I removed any html codes.

/user_detail.php line 36.

    $detail                 = $users_obj->GetUserDetail($username);

    foreach ($detail as $k => $v) {
      $detail[$k] = strip_tags($v);
    }

    $biography              = stripslashes($detail["biography"]);

This code is implemented for next release.
