Your Account behavior dirty usernames etc.

Posted: Fri Jun 06, 2008 12:34 pm

I have a lot of users and 1 registered just with only one character.
The username was just: -

I don ´t find this very funny and I delete such users normally whenever I notice things like that but I believe it would be just much better when your account would handle this in an other way in RavenNuke.

Also its possible to register usernames with exec+something but at the final registration step they get blocked by NukeSentinel. This behavior is correct but I think it would be better they would get a message before like "Sorry this username is not allowed".

Beneed this there are names wich I don´t want see on my site because they are X-rated. I add them usally into the string blocker but we all know this blocker is very agressive and therefore not only the usernames are blocked but e-mails wich contains parts of such names are also banned.

Thats not perfect and I´m thinking about better solutions.

There is a line in the Your_Account module that checks for certain reserved names. You could add some checks of your own here

Code:




if (eregi('^((root)|(adm)|(linux)|(webmaster)|(admin)|(god)|(administrator)|(administrador)|(nobody)|(anonymous)|(anonimo)|(anónimo)|(operator)|(JackFromWales4u2))$',$username)) $stop = '<center>'._NAMERESERVED.'</center>';

also CNBYA used to had this reserved username thing on the config screen... you can give it a try

Evaders thanks! Thats an option.
But I think there should also be something like a setting for the lenght of nicknames in the administration under preferences and it should be standard in RavenNuke just to have a better control and easy to handle.

I know already how to change this in the your account file directly to something like"nickname is to short" cause I asked this in the past.
When I switched to RavenNuke I have overwritten my account files therefore they registered again with short names.

I know that such account hacks exist but I tried to avoid such tools where I need to approve beneed this I like it simple. All should go automatically that would be ideal.
But maybe I´ll try it out.

Well, kguske is working on incorporating a new RNYA (based upon CNBYA) into 2.30.00 version of RN, so it would be good to focus on improving upon that as needed. Let us see what he comes up with.

Thats great ! We will see what the end result is. I believe the easiest solutions are often the best. See how useful the comments module from Gremmie or Resend_Email from Raven is.

Great... RavenNuke definitely needed a revamped account control module.

Why not have it both ways? I hope to have this checked into SVN tomorrow...
