Y Tunnel Pro Offers SPAM Protection it will Scan the Users Believed to be SPAM Bots for the following Data:

It will search their Profile for Hyperlink Text Protocol - If found a user will be placed into the Super iggy Bin.

It Will Search For Adult Content Profiles - Option to Add user to the Iggy Bin if they have Adult Profiles. But still this dont change the case that it could be a SPAM Bot

It Will Ignore Users who have CAPITAL LETTERS ON THEIR Profiles - This has no Option To Aliminate this Problem

It Sometimes ignores users who post links to their Site and Includes it as SPAM!

Only true to a point. It doesn't simply say hey there's a link in their profile so let' ignore them. That's not how it works.

Simply an option. Don't think it's for you don't turn it on. Some people prefer to block those with adult oriented profiles, especially those who frequent religious oriented rooms.

Depends on the site. Most are simply blocked.

Since you were banned from my forum for posting links to malicious content including crash links and pages containing scripts which exploit vulnerabilities in IE I'm pretty sure I know why you're posting it.

If you're going to post at least make the content accurate.

When you got that Crash Link I was Away In Sidari - Greece I had no Control over our Website ( Apologys have been made ) However I suggest you ' review this or Email me at vb_packets@yahoo.com. Our Server was taken out I heard when I got back and was all deleted by Thomas and the host is still patching the Servers * And looking into it! Catch is the only one who has not been rude to me by sending me rude messages in the Forum * Private Messages and You *

The SPAM Protection does ignore Users for SPAM and Profile SPAM but this I think does need a major boost. The only bugs I found with this in the past 2 days is * Not being Able To Login to your ID to Scan the Profiles * and * Ignoring a userfor SPAM or Profile SPAM more than Once in a go here is a Example Chet....

a_jill18girl has been placed into the Y!TunnelPro Super Iggy Bin for SPAM content in their profile page!

i am a faithful user of Y!TunnelPro and am now on V2.0 Build 330. the SPAM Bot detection system in YTP is the best you could possibly hope for on yahoo considering the alternative is ignoring them yourself. to put in perspective what a task ignoring them is, Y!TunnelPro has automatically ignored over a thousand SPAM bots since the release of V2.0 330 two days ago. do you really want to manually ignore that many users?
as far as the filter's accuracy, of course there are some false positives and occasionally a person will be mistaken for a bot because sometimes the content in their profiles or chatroom text matches the filter parameters, BUT, with v2.0 there is a handy room ignore list under the chatters list so you can find someone in the room you have on ignore much easier. much like Yahelite it simply lists only the users in the room which have been ignored. the full iggy bin list is still accessible in the preferences window as well.

I agree with you vb_packets, that forum is horrible. Not a friendly environment at all. Oh well, its cause I dont use his crappy program.

vb_packets · #6 (**permalink**) 07-07-2004, 12:55 PM

lol I know the Y Tunnel site is a non friendly inviroment but im not judging anyone. I become a member of the Y Tunnel Pro software the first day it came out and I got abused. let me make a point if you signed up to my forum you wont be abused and moaned at about " Posting in the wrong Topic " or " We are not accepting anymore Feature Requests " this is all I hear on the forum and when I make a post relative or non relative I still get moaned at so I just ley Y Tunnel Pro Admins ban me off their site. I dont get involved in non friendly inviroments and will even block the site myself I think it is that way incline. I dont have a problem with Chet , Donna or anyone else on that site it is just the way the Attitude Arguments are and the Lack of " Disipline " even a member there who I knew just because he was my friend and he was on the forum he got ban too I dont even know the full story to that but is all I heard from him is that he was ban because he was friends with me she said to him " why be friends with a loser " do I look like I loser to you ? I dont think so maybe it is because I am better and always will be! Y Tunnel could be made by a baby and this is my honest truth dont take a pro skilled programmer to do something like that. Anyway I have finished writing this story about Y Tunnel Pro and I hope you understand if you are even reading this chet from your RSS View I did nothing wrong to you or Donna it is just your lack of " Disapline " due to your Forum Guidelines! . I still use your software I dont believe it is keylogged or nothing! I did not spread that about but why you got to be so hard on me for I thought we was cool? anyway all thanks for reading

Ok, everyone, let's just stay on the subject of Y!tunnel pro and leave the site and the bickering for somewhere else. If this becomes a slagging thread it will be locked.

vb_packets · #8 (**permalink**) 07-07-2004, 01:06 PM

This is not a slagging thread and I cant find that in this catagory but I understand your point!. But Chet had to get a reply from his previous smart post!
