Technical Topics / Idea to help Tasbeha org fight spam
« on: May 15, 2011, 05:58:51 AM »
Hi I don't know how you would implement this..

It's by using a routine that can analyze 'Report to moderator' short messages (similar to the automatic analysis and banning of posts with many URL links). Members can help moderators in cleaning spams by reporting a spammer, simply by including the keyword 'spam' in the report message. The routine should either build a quick list of all spams found in all forum sections for an easy revision or by immediately banning the spammer (up to you).

A check to avoid possible misuses is by flagging as true spam only those that were reported:
1. by established members, i.e. having a certain minimum number of posts;
2. by being reported at least twice by two different such members;
3. OR by 24 specially assigned such members that would ideally cover the hours of the day;
etc.

I hope this would be of any help.
God bless all the moderators and admins.

Technical Topics / Blank empty fields

I've recently noticed blank cells in the Last post column in the general Community main index page. It's currently seen in 'Introductions' and 'Non-Orthodox Inquiries'. It is safer to do frequent backups, just in case something goes wrong.

Random Issues / Jews are not to blame for death of Jesus?
« on: March 04, 2011, 06:36:10 AM »
Quote
The Pope has exonerated Jewish people for the Crucifixion and death of Jesus.

In extracts released from his forthcoming book on Christ, Pope Benedict XVI has addressed one of the most controversial issues of Christianity by saying Jews bore no culpability.

To read this news:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1362185/Pope-Benedict-XVI-Jews-blame-death-Jesus.html
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-12634176

I've read few years ago a passage by St John Chrysostome on Lent and the Holy Week, explaining reasons for the Church decision to celebrate the Feast of Resurrection a week later than the Jewish Crossover, in which he wrote 'the killer nation' speaking of the Jews people of the time, who before Pontius Pilatus were shouting asking him for the death sentence of Jesus Christ by crucifixion.

My questions are: what is the Orthodox opinion on this matter and what is the wisdom in Pope Benedict's analysis? Why did Christ suffering His Passion on the Cross ask the Father to forgive them if they were not guilty? Also aren't we all guilty anyway?

Technical Topics / Someone has a malware/spyware
« on: March 03, 2011, 04:51:34 PM »
I noticed posts by a robot or a rogue program with a membership name related to a malware advertising srver known as "163 dot com". It can be sticky and recurs after removal. If you suspect you have this in your system download a program called Malwarebytes' Antimalware, install it then update it. Now do a scan to detect and then remove any malware found.

If it asks you to restart to finish the removal it's OK. You need to repeat this 3 times every about three days in between to be sure it's gone. Then use a good anti virus (something other than Norton's or McAffee's). Good luck.

Prayer Requests / Prayers for the COC
« on: October 21, 2010, 01:51:51 PM »
Please everybody pray to Our Lord Jesus Christ for the protection of HH Pope Shenouda III, the Holy Synod, the CO Clergy and the Coptic Orthodox Church and its youth. Calls were being circulated on the internet for many days for massive demonstrations to come out from many large mosques very close to the CO Patriarchate after their Friday prayers tomorrow 22/10 at ~1 PM (Cairo local time), with claimed intentions to humiliate the Pope and HG Anba Bishoy and to demand the Church to deliver them the Christian women that some still wrongly insist on their conversion.

Please pray peacefully for all the Church and also pray for the angry crouds that God will calm their anger peacefully without damage to anybody.

I ask you please to refrain from any flamed reactions or replies as they are not our way, we do love our country and our brethren very much.

I would like we also thank and glorify the Lord that Mr Selim el-Awa who previously unjustly propagated and mobilized a lot of anger accusing the Church of conspiracy by claims of gathering and hiding weapons etc. that he was recently severely discredited by many of his own religious figures because in his poisonous speeches his tongue slipped as he dared criticizing their prophet's companions. Glory be to God forever.

Personal Issues / Freedom of speech etc
« on: September 18, 2010, 09:02:00 AM »
Lately I got very tired of many problems in my life. One of them is it seems that when we speak we are likely to make so many mistakes.

Is this the price of freedom of speech, is it for humiliating mockery or is it the pleasure of having disputes all the time I wonder. Humans are too egocentric. People like to fight for something I guess.

James 5
9 Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned.[c] Behold, the Judge is standing at the door!

I apologize to anyone I would have hurt in any way.

Coptic Orthodox Church / Be careful
« on: April 04, 2010, 07:58:18 PM »
I and others received serious warnings via email of online rogue Coptic-like sites like HH the Pope site and Youth Bishopric site that are actually trying to  impersonate them and the URLs are even very close except for a letter or 2.

Also many COC local forums in EG are under hacker attacks and Facebook is also used to gather info. There is a fake group called FaceCH this is a really bad one. An extremist group/person is behind it.

Pls be careful and remove ur personal fotos and info if there is need to do so.
