Yep, heard about this too.

I work for a hosting company as a product manager, and i thought of this idea..

Why dont we use a .htaccess file to detect if their IP Address is coming from know Bad IP's (i.e Police Headquarters) and set a rewrite rule to a page saying, "you are breaching T & C's of this forum, access denied." ??

I know its possible, ive done something similar myself, and would seem to prevent alot of heartache, and stop wasting tax payers money for some clown to sit infront of a computer all day surfing forums and eating donuts!

It would require identifying suspect accounts, and logging their access IP's, then we could also research where each states relevant police datacentres are located and block these IP's too.

Only way they could get around this is by using a proxy server i guess.

I guess its alot of effort, and still no way to 100% guarentee that they wont get access, but just an idea :P

id back you 100% ^^^^

Wow Great! Thanks for the support guys. :P

I can write the code for the .htaccess file and email it to one of the administrators to add to the current file.

I have no idea who i would email it to though when its done..? Any ideas guys? Also we would need people to contribute any known bad IP's.

Wow, i'd be surprised if the police were that pathetic. We keep hearing about the lack of police resources, surely they wouldn't be wasting their time looking at a forum for who has a pod filter. I'd be shocked and amazed...

Car modifiers/clubs/enthusiast are the scum of the earth. Their cars should be defected and owners treated like a scumbag criminal just for taking an interest in enhancing their car. They're as low as pedophiles and should have tax payer's money spent to have someone keep a watchful eye on everyone last one of them!

Your all a bunch of murderers and rapist.

Ahhh yep they do come on here for sure.

The cop at mallala actually actively goes on the R31 club forum (r31skylineclub.com) and answers questions and stuff as well as other forums too.

He does it in his own time but there is no reason that others wouldn't do the same.

I know a few of the gawler coppers as my g/f helps with blue light disco there... I reckon I know the pommie guy... usually a good bloke.

As above, I have about 3-4 mates on these forums that are police officers with imports...heck I even used to sponsor one. :(

I would say there are alot more that surf these forums especially nissansilvia.com being as it was the most viewed auto website for the last couple years etc.

Blocking access via .htaccess seems like a good idea, but I'd be against it. You cannot say for sure that all cops that visit these sites are bad and are out to get you. Discriminate much? I've heard of all the bad stories about defects and such but as pointed out above, theres some good people in there too!

I'd propose a flag to mark them as Cops instead of blocking access, why would they have a legitimite reason to say they aren't officers? Give the something like the [has donated] tag and that way it's good PR for them, they should be representing the force in a good way and if they aren't we shoot them down! Well maybe not literally :(

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
