Ah! I love reporting spammers, it's like a sport for me.

 

I wish we had a bonus point system for it or something, with leader-boards. That could be fun. :rofl:

 

Actually going through each of the spammer's posts and hitting the report button is more annoying than helpful :p like with other IPB boards, we hit a "flag as spammer" button and it nukes all the posts at once. It doesn't take care of the piling up of spammer reports though :/

 

Back in the day when IPB lacked this feature, it was a pain. We'd have to manually delete each of the spammer's posts, and then ban the spammer.

I wouldn't mind a quicker path to ignore users.

The problem with having lots of people on ignore is that threads start to look fragmented and nonsensical.... I'd really encourage folks to use that feature as sparingly as possible, and learn to not let things get to you. In life there are always going to be people you don't agree with, people who are jerks, or people who are just plain stupid. On a forum you *can* try to put yourself in a box and avoid it all, but you usually can't in real life unless you hole up in your house 24/7. It's useful to be able to deal with it instead, without getting angry or whatever.

My goal, exactly. :shifty:

Just a simple question, If you're travelling in a car at the speed of light, and you turn your lights on, do they do anything?

 

If you don't want to answer that, it's fine as my real question was...

 

On the Community Index, or Forum Page, one can hover (or mouseover) a username, and have options, Like seeing the Avatar Picture, Rating, a 'Find Content' Button, and a 'Send PM' Button, and of course the add/remove friend button, amongst other information.

 

Would it be possible to add a 'Report this User' button to that Menu?

Hell, while I'm asking, How bout a 'Block User' on the same menu?

You can do that on their profile.

    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.

      If they don't sell enough of the 1st gen then there won't be a 2nd gen

      Epic fail, should've added an eSata port on the back, also if the memory/NVME are soldered then they're hardly gonna sell any, first thing most people do with their Steamdeck is, or used to be, replacing the NVME with a 2TB one. At that price they should, possibly for the first time, offer an installments option, say 24 months, they may sell a lot if they do. I'm sure they would have no shortage of credit companies willing to partner.
