Posters.dat help

[Buzzy]

I am trying to get rid of some spammer posts, and it seems the only way to do it is to do some work on the posters.dat file.

XBX <10837622624098E656EA612@yahoo.com>
WANTED <1083932079409B7DAF50937@yahoo.com>
ROYAL <1083845118409A29FE6DDFB@yahoo.com>

and variations of the name are posting the same files, but with the filenames changed or modified in such a way as to not get picked up as duplicates.

I've tried:

XBX <1083...................@yahoo.com>
WANTED <1083...................@yahoo.com>
ROYAL <1083...................@yahoo.com>

but the regex filering appears to have no effect. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I could be wrong, but I don't think that the posters.dat uses regular expressions. I think that RE is only used for post filtering (Filters.xml).

No regex in the posters.dat. It's OLD. I'll look into adding it for the next rev.

Excellent! I'll be looking for it (even beta test, if need be)!

I'm also waiting for this possibility. By now it's absolutely impossible to lockout this kind of posters. Thanks in advance

I am reasonably certain that the current beta (4.33B6) has this implemented. It would be worth trying it to check.
