Forum Opsec

[vacuum]

Since we're starting to talk plans etc; would be good to increase forum opsec - EVE is a game full of metagaming and although the original HoJ guys are pretty cool as we start to do more stuff, people will start to research ma'adim, HoJ and non-HoJ folks will join (which is a good thing ... right?)


Can we have the forum setup so:

1. New signups are asked for their EvE API key - this then needs to be verified for alt characters, corporation history etc.
2. The EVE Forums are hidden from casual view. If this means creating a 'public' subforum, then so be it.
3. A private 'Opsec' subforum is created and hidden from view except to a specific and managed list (only active corp members).

I know it seems paranoid ...

Viewing the topic Forum Opsec.

I guess that's my point ... :-)

Should be easy enough to hide and make a sub-group for the eve people where general plans can be discussed.
I don't think that general eve-talk needs to be hidden though.

Board changes incoming. (Basic ones in the next hour before I sod off for dinner and the rest when I wake up tomorrow

There isnt a functioning api mod for smf as yet (not that I have found).  Registrations on the site are approved by me, not the registrants activating via an email, so i can add a field to registration that asks for the regular key from the eve only players

(New user group incoming too)

I have a simple windows app that does some API related stuff.
I can knock up a PHP page for you - just let me know what info you want to verify and I'll wrap it up.
It'll be stand alone until I look at the mod docco for this forum and then I'll look to integrate.

Checks:

1. Skill points
2. Corporation History
3. Other characters on the account (are there any, if so, Corporation, Skill Points and ISK)

That should do I think.

Which forums are now "secure"?

Looks like all but Eve General.

Yup - kept EG open, to aid in enticing other potential players on board.
