Link to oooforum
Hello!
https://www.openoffice.org/support/ links to www.oooforum.org (The
(Unofficial) OpenOffice Forum) but it seems down.
If so (permanent down) the link should be deleted.
Greetings, Mathias

Oh, yes, sorry, I could test on the official forum, but, the forum
itself is laid out very differently so I don't think that it would work
very well. The big issue that I see at the moment is that if I follow my
multi-step method to create a "kill the spam" scripts, it takes a very
long time to run. I changed the timeout to 10 minutes. This is so slow
that it just feels silly to even bother trying to remove the spam.
For certain testing would go much faster on the official forum since it
works well and is performs quickly

Sorry the way I understood you couldnt work confortable at oooforum
because of its unresponsiveness. So I suggest using the official
forums to test the iMacros until they are up there to perform all the
tasks.
But I most have missed something.

Re: Link to oooforum
Posted by Andrew Douglas Pitonyak <an...@pitonyak.org>.
The next version of the forum software used by oooforum supports
deleting all posts by the user. Also, there is an add-on for the version
2 (I think) that also supports this.
The official forum runs great, no need to test there. It is sufficiently
moderated that there are no particular issues.

For the record, you could do this also on our forums at
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/
This will give you a fast server to work on until oooforum is back in
shape. Trying to delete your own post could do the trick enough to
test it.

Re: Link to oooforum
Posted by Andrew Douglas Pitonyak <an...@pitonyak.org>.
Yeah, even when I build an iMacro to remove a single post based on a
hard coded URL, oooforum is so slow, that it fails to respond in 60
seconds after saying "yes, remove that like I asked" and then the macro
itself stops running. I set the timeout to 10 minutes, will see if that
is sufficient. That said, when the forum is so slow, hardly seems worth

Re: Link to oooforum
Posted by Andrew Douglas Pitonyak <an...@pitonyak.org>.
Well, I find the entire thing rather confusing. For example, I can
extract the table of text as follows:
TAB T=1
URL GOTO=http://www.oooforum.org/forum/search.phtml
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=ACTION:search.phtml?mode=results
ATTR=NAME:search_author CONTENT=RobinColvin
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ACTION:search.phtml?mode=results ATTR=*
'Extract the table text.
TAG POS=7 TYPE=TABLE ATTR=TXT:* EXTRACT=TXT
SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT FOLDER=* FILE=mytable_{{!NOW:yymmdd_hhnnss}}.csv
If I want to extract all of the URLs in the table, well, I can't figure
out how to do that. I am able to enumerate the first two links as follows:
TAB T=1
URL GOTO=http://www.oooforum.org/forum/search.phtml
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=ACTION:search.phtml?mode=results
ATTR=NAME:search_author CONTENT=RobinColvin
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ACTION:search.phtml?mode=results ATTR=*
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=HREF:*&&CLASS:topictitle EXTRACT=HREF
TAG POS=2 TYPE=A ATTR=HREF:*&&CLASS:topictitle EXTRACT=HREF
SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT FOLDER=* FILE=mytable_{{!NOW:yymmdd_hhnnss}}.csv
I had trouble simply extracting all of them, so, I tried to use java
script to call iMacro, but that never returned from the first iimPlay
var spammer="RobinColvin"
window.alert("Read for '" + spammer + "'");
var search_macro;
search_macro ="CODE:";
search_macro +="URL GOTO=http://www.oooforum.org/forum/search.phtml"+"\n";
search_macro +="TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT
FORM=ACTION:search.phtml?mode=results ATTR=NAME:search_author
CONTENT="+spammer+"\n";
search_macro +="TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT
FORM=ACTION:search.phtml?mode=results ATTR=*"+"\n";
var links = [];
var iLink = 1;
var iMaxLink = 100
var link = "";
var extract_link_macro;
window.alert(search_macro);
// Perform the search!
iimPlay(search_macro)
window.alert("Finished with search!");
do {
extract_link_macro ="CODE:";
extract_link_macro +="TAG POS="+iLink+"1 TYPE=A
ATTR=HREF:*&&CLASS:topictitle EXTRACT=HREF"+"\n";
iimPlay(extract_link_macro);
link=iimGetLastExtract();
if(link!="#EANF#") {
links.push(link);
iLink = iLink + 1;
}
} while (link != "#EANF#" && iLink <= iMaxLink)
window.alert("found " + iLink + " links");
If I assume that I have already searched, then I can extract all of the
links by using "loop execute" and then using a macro similar to:
TAG POS={{!LOOP}} TYPE=A ATTR=HREF:*&&CLASS:topictitle EXTRACT=HREF
SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT FOLDER=* FILE=mytable_{{!NOW:yymmdd_hhnnss}}.csv
If I loop 50 times, it exports everything from that one page into three
files. It seems that it does not easily support doing the entire thing
in one shot; at least while using a loop!
At least by listing the extract command 50 times I end up with only one
file.
this is not a simple thing and it still does not get me to my end game.

I did an excercise and try deleting my own posts from oooforum. I see
what you mean (and what I was missing). There is no checkbox to mark
all the posts like it would be on -- let say -- the PM page where a
checkbox is able to mass delete all links.
I understand now your point on looping through non secuential links. I
went on the iMacros forum and found some tips responding to a
positioning loop.

There is very little difference between what an admin and a user sees in
this context.
To find the posts, I use the regular search. The returned list is the
same for an admin as well as a regular user. While displaying a thread,
there is an admin link that allows me to remove the thread and there is
a link to remove each post in the thread. There is also a link on the
bottom of each thread to navigate to a special admin page that provides
some extra functions such as delete a user (but deleting the user does
not remove their posts).

Unfortunately I dont admin any forum to see what you are seen, so I only
have access to the forum search engine but I know that the Admin (the one
able to delete the forum) is a different view.
I know the individual post url is on a (very small) icon next to the Posted
date. If you search for 'Posted:' on the source you will find something
like this.

On the blob of HTML that you gave me, I could read a similar URL after
'RobinColvin':

I also looked at iMacros, and found a couple of tutorials about Data
extraction for URLs:

and images urls:

I was able to use iMacros to search for all posts by a specific user. I
was able to export the text from the found rows. I have not figured out
how to export the links to each individual message.
Sadly, I must navigate to each spam thread and delete each thread
individually. If I am able to figure out how to export each spam link, I
can always use some other scripting language that I know well to create
huge scripts that itemize each "bad thread". I am able to post a sample
HTML output if anyone knows how to use iMacros. To make things even
worse, it probably only shows about 40 messages per page. The biggest
hurdle is simply learning iMacros; it is a bit cryptic.

Hmmm. Not sure that would help much in this case.
The search part is easy. It then returns a page containing a table with
entries such as this:
table width="100%"cellpadding="4"cellspacing="1"border="0"class="forumline"align="center">

In iMacro, I have not figured out how to grab all of the references such as: "viewtopic.phtml?t=368050&highlight="
The problem is that the numbers are not sequential for finding the threads. It is even more difficult if I want to find all of the posts in one shot, which would mean that I would need to then grab 10 or 11 more pages of lists such as: "search.phtml?search_id=198406476&start=50" for page 2, so, I suppose that it shows around 50 at a time.
It is just a question of how much time I have to figure out how to do this (meaning learn iMacros or similar). I spent a few hours worrying about this today and then I went with my family to an apple orchard for some family time.

Yup my idea is that you have an array with the spam users, perform a search
on them, and then fill out the page with the posts related to the spam
users, and just have the macros select all checkboxes and press the delete,
and go to the next page. That would allow you to get all the spam from that
user at least in a smaller process.
Well is not really coding in Javascript since greasemonkey takes care of
that. Remember that you only need to change the url for the page of the
query result. Greasemonkey has a script called AutoFill where you only need
to select the name value of the HTML control and modify it to be checked.
The next task is to press the Button control to delete, and the final step
is to go to the next query in time. Probably the URL will have a page like
?p=23 so is a matter of increments.
Re: Link to oooforum
Posted by Andrew Douglas Pitonyak <an...@pitonyak.org>.
I am looking at iMacro, thanks for the suggestion. My initial attempts
this morning have failed because it seems to want a concrete starting
URL. So, when I recorded a script to delete the currently displayed
spam, what it really recorded was "navigate to the current URL", now do
what you want. Looks like I can probably set the search URL, try to
scrape all of the results, and then I can probably use those results to
navigate to each found SPAM message and delete it. That would at least
allow me to remove a chunk at a time. If that works, then I can expand
the macro. I suppose that a first step would be search, remove the first
found. I could then "rinse and repeat" but it would be much faster to
scrape all results first. It can take up to 60 seconds to delete a
single spam (because the forum can run slow).
Do you think that I would have better luck automating with greasemonkey?
I suppose that would be a reason to learn JavaScript. I mean, I have
used JavaScript, but I would not say that I know Java Script. I know
many languages, and when you know a bunch of languages already, and you
need to simply make a change to existing code with a mostly standard
syntax (ie, it is not something odd ball like APL), it does not take
much to make minor bug fixes.

This might sound a bit out there, but a greasemonkey script can be done to
program the check out and delete of all the post related to the handful of
nicks.
That way it could automated and ran all night.
Another extension is iMacros
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/imacros-for-firefox/
Which I guess is near your field Mr Macros guy ;)

More accurately, the owner is generally non-responsive (he is really
busy and does not have much time for a hobby forum).
The forum is currently hosted on machines that prevent him from granting
admin rights to the forum proper and I assume that he does not have
things properly virtualized to allow sufficient access to update the
forum proper (and no time to make this happen).
The problem with fighting the spam is that the moderators and "admins"
are fighting spammers that can compromise the old forum software at will
so with a volume of spam bots posting at will, it is a losing battle.
The owner told me on the phone that he was willing to do something about
this (like allow a transfer, or help, or something), but I understand
that he was not responsive when he was contacted again. When I last
called him just to see if he was alive (really, I thought he might have
died), he was surprised that the site had not been functional in about a
month and said that he had not seen my email to him. For all I know, it
was auto-filtered to spam.
I was just looking at the site, and, the first spammer listed had over
500 spams posted. The only way I have to remove spam is one thread at a
time. So, I would need to spend at least an hours (if I were able to
remove 1 thread every 6 seconds manually). That is a single spammer /
user. It would be more doable if I were able to simply remove every
message from a specific user, but I don't have that ability.

I know you both know, but for the benefit of the casual reader, we are
not talking about the official forum, but about a third-party forum
which is not under control of the project. We started some talks to tell
the maintainers that we may help if needed, but we haven't come to a
conclusion yet. So the project does not have access to that forum and
can't promote users to moderators.

As I recollect the flood of spam was such that it defeated several experienced moderators working together. It may be impossible for one moderator to handle on his own.

For the record, I could access oooforum today but full of spam at least for the first 15 pages in each section!

It is not permanently down, but indeed I edited the page to say it's
currently offline. You can find a whole thread about it on this list,
that moved to private conversations. So far, we haven't been able to get
it transferred to Apache (which would be a good option) but it is still
possible that it happens in future (near or far, who knows).
