New adkforum issue reporting

[DSettahr]

Well, ****. Now my helpful post also got flagged as spam.

[Craig]

I see it, and it helps.

It happened to me again, in this thread: https://www.adkforum.com/forum/outdo...d-it-in-one-go

I edited my post to fix one single typo and it got flagged as spam...

Would it be at all possible to make a user group that is exempt from the spam filter? Like say anyone who has 100 or more posts can't have any of their edits flagged.

Or maybe there's a setting that can flag posts as spam but not necessarily hide them until an admin can take a look?

[VermontDacker]

I had something similar happen. I wrote a long, informative post, edited to fix one small typo, and had it flagged as spam.

Could the administrators please lower the spam threshold to avoid labeling a post as spam just just because it gets one or two very small typo-fixing edits?

If that's not possible, I suggest disabling the editing feature, since experienced posters will stop using it anyway. It can't serve its purpose if any edit made triggers the spam filter.

I have adjusted the spam blocking. Let's see how it goes.

And of course almost immediately a spam post shows up: https://www.adkforum.com/forum/the-a...46ers%E2%80%9D

[Craig]

Re-enabled while I look to see what can be adjusted.

Sorry about that, not sure what happened but it went to moderation for approval which I did as soon as I saw it.

I believe there is an issue with the password reset form. The validation for email address seems to be case sensitive. All lower case on my email kept getting rejected, but capitalizing the first letter fixed it. May be an issue with other forms that require email address as well.

[MrKawfey]

Looks like it's an issue with login too. The username is case sensitive and shouldn't be.

Why wouldn't that be? If you look at the various posts, there are some people who have names that are totally lower case, but most are mixed (including yours and mine). Thus, it would be sensible to enter them as they are shown on screen.

The email thing is different.

[MrKawfey]

That's a good question. I'm not sure I've ever really thought about the username question. I suppose it depends on the site policies. If the site considers 2 usernames with the same spelling but different capitalization as unique usernames then of course it needs to be case sensitive.

But is that typical? That seems like it would be an invitation to spoofing, spamming and trolling.

Not saying that it allows more than one of the same name, just that if people take the time to create the name with both capital and small letters, they would likely type it that way in the future as well? Thus, it should certainly allow for that, maybe not require it, though?

[MrKawfey]

Generally, good programing practice is to search, compare, filter, etc on the lowercase version of a text string if case sensitivity is not required. The usernames should be stored in the database and displayed using their PrettyPrint form, but all functions using them as an argument should only perform a lowercase-to-lowercase comparison.

From a UI experience, it just makes things easier if I don't have to hit the uppercase button on my phone whenever I type the username. In addition, sometime a device will autofill these fields and it doesn't always remember to use the proper case.
