Bit of a random one for @maddog107 if I may be so bold. I received a message today via the BZ Facebook page from someone who would like to take a particular image from the forum and use it in an article. Is that something we'd need to grant permission for or could they just use it?

We(BZ) don't own any of the images on the forum. They would have to talk to the poster of the image to see if they own copyright, otherwise they would need to talk to the photographer/publisher of said image. Sorry

Much obliged MD, I'll pass that along.

Anyone know why Other Models was created?

https://www.bellazon.com/main/forum/123-other-models/

With just one topic inside? Was that a mistake? Should we move that somewhere else?

Hello,

 

Was hoping you could help.

 

In the Barbara Palvin thread there are 3-5 posts on the last 2 pages of members talking about wanting to eat her poop.

 

Yes no joke, eating her shit.

 

It's disgusting. It's upset several members. I don't believe it belongs on these forums. Heck, I am a member on a few legitimate pornography forums and they won't allow talk of fecal fetishes on those.

 

Any chance to have those removed?

 

Thanks

Got this in my inbox... Another normal day on Bellazon.com...

It’s odd… but I don’t think it’s directly in violation of any of our rules.

Couldn't we simply point to the rule about being off topic? Not really adding anything to the thread and causing all sorts of chaos 

Oh we definitely can. I’m just wondering if we shouldn’t put something in to help circumvent future…. Occurrences. 

This is one of the oddest things I've seen in BZ o.o, I agree we should put something into place for it, maybe reminding people that we have underage visitors or something along the lines of not wanting such explicit content?

I went ahead and banned I read vogue.

He had been spamming me with trolling PMs since I warned him.

In the last such PM he admitted to having created six other accounts in the past.

I've given a warning in Barbara's thread. People are starting to go back and forth at each other with pissy comments

So we're getting random posts that are posting multiple times. It just happened to me in the What are you thinking about section, Enrico and Matt said it happened yesterday and today, both in PM and in regular threads.

Update

The minute I hit the Submit Reply button it seems to lag and it's randomly posting replies a couple times, but it's not always doing it which is odd.

Probably when the server is under attack it may double post as its being delayed. We are still working on the DDOS attack. Hopefully it will go away once the attack stops. 

Is our servers being attacked, or is BZ being hit?

Edit - It also looks like Youtube videos aren't being embedded, same with instagram posts

Over the last 2-3 days we got hit with a large DDOS attack. We were able to get it under control yesterday and it seems like they gave up after that (or we are filtering all their traffic and I am not seeing much). I am talking to our provider to see if we can remove some of the protections now as it makes the site a bit slower. 

I dont think the YT and IG are related but I will take a look when I get a chance. Thanks for letting me know

Anytime Bossman! ❤️ I cannot stand script kiddies. Find something better to do with your time ffs

Looks like our DDOS protection was messing with this. Should be working now. 

Alright, thank you!

Just wishing everyone a happy holidays

Thanks for helping keep BZ up and running and somewhat sane 🤣

Merry Christmas Boss Man! I hope Santa 🦌🎅 brings you something nice. 🎁🎄

So as you probably noticed, we lost a few weeks of data

I was in the middle of restoring the data to the most recent point in time, but the automatic backup script kicked off during the middle of the restore and killed it and because of that I had to go back to Dec 21st backup instead of one from a few days ago

Anyways I am finally back home so I will be working on the server next week to give it more space so this does not occur again. Sorry
