A form of forum abuse

Hi everyone
Reading another topic in this forum prompts me to ask the question: is it allowed within the rules for one person to have two or more usernames?
It occurs to me that a form of forum abuse might occur where a single person creates several "naive" users and one "experienced" user. The naive users pose questions which the experienced user answers immediately, and then the naive users award marks to the experienced user.
Obviously, the questions posed by the "naive" users are ones where the answer is already known, so the question and answer are completely spurious, but with the overall effect is to bump up the rating of the experienced user. Since all users are controlled by a single person, clearly that person is awarding points to him/herself.
Carrying this further, I can imagine a "ring" of people who pose questions for each other to answer and then award marks between themselves.
I can't be the first person to have thought of this, so are there any safeguards in place to detect it? Has it already happened?
Bob
PS: Ok, to most people it sounds like a lot of trouble to go to, but we're in a world where Warcraft persona change hands for real money....

Having two or more usernames is allowed, but using them in ways like you describe is not.
As far as I know, there is no built in, automated way to detect such behavior. But as you seem to have noticed, one can sometimes see that it is happening. Notifying on the posts in question as inappropriate so the Hosts can review them is the best way to handle that. The Hosts can probably get an idea if there is some form of abuse going on by checking the forum members' details, including the IP addresses from which they post.
If people form a "ring" like you describe, I can't see how anything can be done about it unless the behavior is blatant. But that's something the Hosts might be able to determine by checking posting and point-awarding patterns.
And yes, this has been brought up before. I'm pretty sure it has been detected before and that very obvious cases of abuse like you describe have resulted in forum members being suspended or banned and/or their IP addresses being blocked.

Forms and Forums

I'd like to create forms to be filled out online and emailed to me.
Also, I'm interested in creating a forum in site.
Are there relatively simple ways to do this?

Eric ~ There's a way to link to an external page directly from iWeb's navigation bar. You could then link to a forum here:
http://www.lefora.com
...and to forms built natively in Weebly:
http://kb.weebly.com/contact-form.html
http://kb.weebly.com/form-submissions.html
There's more about Weebly in this post:
What happens to iWeb when there's no MobileMe?
To set up a link to an external page from iWeb's nav bar:
Create a blank internal page named "Forum" (actually you can name the page whatever you want.) Then in that Forum page add an HTML Snippet with the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "http://www.yourforumname.com"; // change this to your own URL
</script>
(Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code). Once published, clicking on "Forum" in iWeb’s nav bar will immediately redirect to your external forum page. For an example, click on the BLOG menu item in this iWeb site:

Outlook (former Hotmail) Forum says I need to get a "Mail Client" that works with 10.4.11

Hello Apple Friends:
I have a PowerBook G4 still running Tiger 10.4.11.
Unfortunately, due to virus concerns and spam at work, I have had to use non-apple mail such as Hotmail for well over a decade now. Not a problem! Mac works fine. But the folks over in the "Microsoft" (delete that word after reading it) group felt their Hotmail was too old fashioned and jazzed it up and are calling it Outlook now.
And Hotmail/new Outlook no longer works like it did before on the Tiger OSX of course!
After over a month and reading dozens of Emails (about 20 which I sent myself) to various Forums and help groups, the latest "advice" is that I go searching for an "old style" "Mail client" whatever that is.... that will work with Tiger 10.4.11. And install and transfer it somehow, hopefully without losing or deleting 17 years of contacts and Email, transfer over to using it for my Outlook (I looked at some others who have the great modern Mountain Lion etc OSX systems and read their posts about this and they had significant problems using the new Outlook too.
Problem is, I deal with many very stubborn people who are just not going to spend the time and effort needed to "convert" my "hotmail" address into anything new to replace it, not even counting how many weeks of effort, missed emails messed up communications this will entail and last far into 2014 I'm sure.
The best hope is that someone knows of a "Legacy" site with older mail clients on it (or even older browsers than my Safari 4.1.3 in case someone thinks that is the problem (I also tried it with Firefox, but only can have up to 3.6.28 and TenFoxFour is not highly recommended as it creates unstable computers occassionally)
So I'm caught in the middle trying to upgrade older Mac and without the funds needed to purchase one that has Intel Chip in it for use with something higher than Leopard so I can use the Hotmail/Outlook again.
Sorry for long message, but I wanted to cover all the bases in case someone is searching the data base of the Forum in later months, and hopefully someone else here has has similiar total frustration with trying to continue using the "M--------" free Email product.
While I'm on the topic, I wondered if the .Mac was an Email client?   I had it once but long ago subscrption elapsed and got notice that it became "mobile me" or something like that....just covering all the bases since Apple has so many more choices.
Thanks for reading all of this complicated (you should only see the other Emails!) question. (sorry products and username are wrong for this message can't get the hang of editing them "before" I think of writing the message!).

Hi BDAqua:
Just catching up to your earlier suggestions so hope this is not taken as anything less than the excellent advice and fantastic support you have given me here..
I cannot use the current edition of Sea Monkey 2.17.1 as System Requirements are : 10.6 Minimum, and I have Tiger 10.4.11 max in "non-Intel" G4
Note also that reading details (I always do) I cannot just jump to that one if I could or wanted to as too old a Sea Monkey at 1.1.19. They say to upgrade to 2.0 first, then reset the "profile" page (does anyone remember my password or even what Email I used back in 2004??) before moving on to upgrade (use it at least once in new profile of course!)
So I copied them first here for anyone else's information:
System Requirements, Installation and Uninstallation
Before installing, make sure your computer meets the system requirements. SeaMonkey 2.17.1 will no longer offer to migrate your data from SeaMonkey 1.x or Mozilla 1.x at the first start after installation (bug 689437). In order to upgrade from such an old version, install the last SeaMonkey 2.0 release first, do the one-time profile upgrade, uninstall SeaMonkey 2.0 and then install your target release (e.g. this one).
You can find more details about installation, profile data and uninstallation in our install and uninstall document.
Here are the specifics of Minimum Requirements of Sea Monkey 2.17.1 version:
Mac
Operating Systems
Mac OS X 10.6 or higher
Minimum Hardware
Macintosh computer with an Intel processor
200 MB of free hard drive space
Older System Sea monkey 2.0 requirements are ::
Mac
Operating Systems
Mac OS X "Tiger" (10.4)
Mac OS X "Leopard" (10.5)
Mac OS X "Snow Leopard" (10.6)
Minimum Hardware
Macintosh computer with an Intel x86 or PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
256 MB RAM
200 MB of free hard drive space
But..... Caution signs are EVERYWHERE not to download or use this anymore.....
(I know my 1.1.19 is really old but so old no one bothers with it anymore?? but newer ones may have huge security loophole for viruses etc....
Sea Monkey 2.0.14 Warns:
Released April 28, 2011
WARNING! The SeaMonkey version available for download from this page is outdated and suffers from known security vulnerabilities. This page is only available for historic reference.
We strongly advise you to download the current release instead.
So I'm sorry if I could not follow your instructions and get a better Sea Monkey Experience as well..... I'm just using existing one as another browser in addition to the newer ones provided as I use them for different purposes, i.e. Sea Monkey can be great for just interrupted "look ups" on google, etc of a quick definition and then closing it, so nothing complicated, no Java/Adobe Flash ads requirements, etc in and out that's all.
Then I can leave my major browsing and using Email Hotmail/Outllook which prompted this whole exploration of solutions for the two brand new browsers TenFourFox and OmniWeb..
Thanks again to everyone! I replied to everyone below in addition to this reply above to BDAqua....

Beginners Forum perhaps needed

Hi everybody
First a Happy New Year to everyone.
Recently there seems to be a huge tendency on these Forums for a large number of really basic questions such as I'm the Logistics manager but I don't know what MARA does, or "could you please post the code" for some very elementary problem that a beginning abapper on day one could have coded in 5 mins.
Most of these posters appear judging by their names to come from the Indian sub continent (or related countries).
We all have to learn somewhere but some of the questions are actually so basic you have to wonder if the posters have ever actually used a SAP system.
If these guys are genuinely working at customers sites I would suggest that the whole "Offshoring" exercise is going to be a total and unmitigated disaster.
Overseas Telephone call centres for example have provoked such an outrage in the UK that companies are now advertising the fact that they ONLY use UK call centres in spite of the higher cost.
I think the same thing will happen with a lot of I.T offshoring - the cost savings and efficiencies promised just don't appear in practice.
However to get back to the point I think a Real Beginners Forum perhaps could be a place where these really elementary questions could be posted without problems elswhere on other Forums.
Cheers
jimbo

Hi Jimbo:
Even when I hate those kind of "super newbie" questions...That's a natural thing on a forum like this...People can do that for a couple of reasons...They are really dumb to lie on their resumes and need help, or they are just point hunters...Anyway...It's hard to tell, so we can't do much about it...
The "Newbie forum" thing had been proposed too many times, and it's an option, because people are going to keep posting whenever they want...We had a Form Printing Forum, but some people post on Scripting Languages and ABAP forums instead...
I'm sure that you had seen the "Report Abuse" icon...Well, you and other SCN members must it to help us (The Moderators) to keep track and manage those kind of questions...
Greetings,
Blag.

Returning strings from OLE2 Word object (Forms 4.5)

Below is an example of how to return string and numeric values from OLE2 objects. In this example the OLE2 object is a MS Word document, and I want to fetch all the bookmarks in the Document into a Forms 4.5 Varchar2. To do this I first need to get the count of bookmarks.
Getting a string property from an OLE2 object is a common OLE2 requirement but is poorly documented. This is the ONLY way it can be done, as OLE2.INVOKE_CHAR returns a single character not a string. Use OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ, then OLE2.GET_CHAR_PROPERTY which does return a string, as shown below, to return a string from an OLE object (or OLE property).
Also note how you can only get the child object from its parent, not the grandchild (etc) object, so multiple (cascading) GET_OBJ_PROPERTY calls are required.
/* by: Marcus Anderson (Anderson Digital) (MarcusAnderson.info) */
/* name: Get_Bookmarks */
/* desc: Returns a double quoted CSV string containing the document*/
/* bookmarks. CSV string will always contain a trailing comma*/
/* EG: "Bookmark1","Bookmark2",Bookmark3",Bookmark4", */
/*               NB: This requires that Bookmarks cannot contain " chr */
PROCEDURE Get_Bookmarks (pout_text OUT VARCHAR2)
IS
v_text           VARCHAR2(80);
v_num                         NUMBER(3);
     v_arglist OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
     v_Application     OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
v_ActiveDoc      OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
v_Bookmarks          OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
v_Item                    OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
v_i                              NUMBER(3);
BEGIN
          v_Application     := LDWord.MyApplication; -- Word doc opened elsewhere
               /* Set v_num = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Count */
v_ActiveDoc := OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY (v_Application, 'ActiveDocument');
v_Bookmarks := OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY (v_ActiveDoc , 'Bookmarks');
v_num := OLE2.GET_NUM_PROPERTY (v_Bookmarks, 'Count'); -- NB: Returns numeric property
               /* Build the output string, pout_text. */
FOR v_i in 1..v_num LOOP
                    /* Set v_item = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Item(v_i) */
v_arglist := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.ADD_ARG (v_arglist, v_i);
v_Item := OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ (v_Bookmarks, 'Item', v_arglist); -- NB: returns parent object (array element)
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST (v_arglist);
                    /* Set v_text = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Item(v_i).Name */
v_text := OLE2.GET_CHAR_PROPERTY (v_Item, 'Name');                    -- NB: Returns string/varchar2 property
pout_text := pout_text || '"' || v_text || '",' ;
END LOOP;
END;

Can we generate forms from different locations on same account?

We're thinking of subscribing for the unlimited forms plan. Would this plan allow us to generate forms (and receive reports) from various locations on the same account? Or would each location need its own account?
Thanks, Meg

Hi Meg;
Depending on the roles each user needs to play, you could have one "Plus" membership that can have all of the "live" forms in it, that user could share forms and/or responses with the other users so they could collaborate in the editing and view responses and reports. The permissions in the form (ability to use paid features) are based on the form author, so the "Free" level users could use the paid features in these forms that were shared by the one Plus membership.
Here is some information on sharing forms: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2462
Also some good gneral Quick Start guides and How To's: https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en/library/how-to-make-create-survey-or-form.html
In addition, if any of the free users were to create a form for the team they could export that form as a design file for the Plus member to import and then share. Since the free user can only create one form, but have unlimited shared with them, and since the form rights are from the author the Free user wouldn't want to share the form, but instead export it so that when the Plus user imports it they are the author and when it is shared the form would have the Plus level features (I hope that made sense).
As far as organization there are no folders in FormsCentral at this time.
Thanks,
Josh

Drop-Down List Box on Form Is Cleared at Each Step in a Workflow Process

Hello users,
I am posting this in the Workflow Designer, Workflow Server and Form Designer forums so that it gets a little more exposure, so I apologize if you receive this more than once.
I have a Form Designer 5.0 form attached to a Workflow Server 6.1 process. On the form, I have a drop-down list box being populated from a text box by the OnDataLoad event on the form ONLY when the process is first initiated. The text box is populated by the OnAssign event of the first step in the process map. When the task initiator submits the form to the second step in the process and the user opens the form, the drop-down list box is no longer populated - it has been cleared. There is no code anywhere in either the form or in the process map that clears this field.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Is it a bug?
Thanks.

Unless you hard coded the list box on design time, it will lose all data when the form is routed.
Only solution to this is:
create a text box and store your list box choice list to the text box before submitting your form and import the list box choice list back from the text box on form ready.
Hope this helps.

Add Subform dynamically,on click of Button, in Interactive form generated by Adobe Document Services

HI,
I have an XDP file designed by Adobe Designer 7.1 with the following hierarchy of elements:
-form1(root)
--Button
--tmpForm (subform - Repeat subform for each data entry )
---ST (Text)
Now, this XDP file generates an Interactive PDF form with Reader Rights enabled by the Adobe Document Services.
On click of button, the following javascript is executed on client side:
var df = _tmpForm.addInstance(1);
df.ST.rawValue = "HI" ;
xfa.host.messageBox( "Instances" + tmpForm.all.length ) ;
On clicking the button, i get the length of the instances of the subform and the size increases on each click, but no element is added "visibly" to the pdf.
But when i try to do the same by saving the XDP file as Dynamic PDF form for Acrobat 8.0,and open it using Adobe Acrobat PRO 8.0, it works fine.
My question is,I s it not possible to add subforms dynamically in PDF's generated by Adobe Document Services with Reader Rights enabled?
Or, is there something that i am missing?
Please guide.
Thanks.

Hi,
you can't change the behavior of the save button in the browser nor in Reader/Acrobat.
You can add a custom button within your form which calls a custom script from a folder level script using the browserForDoc method.
The browseForDoc methos is the only one whcih can change the name in the saveAs dialog.
Here's an example., you can run from Acrobat console.
You need to combine it with the solution from the other thread to make it work with your form.

Populate Default Dynamic Filename In Adobe Form (On Click of Save in Menu) - SAP

Hi,
We have a scenario in which we want to populate the file name dynamically in Adobe form integrated in SAP Webdynpro.
Scenario -
A adobe form has been intergrated in the SAP webydnpro application which opens the form in Web Browser (IE).
There is a save button which is part of standard adobe form menu and on click of that save button (circled - 1 in image ) the name of the form ( i.e techincal name of adobe form created in SAP {ZTESTSS} ( circled - 2 in image ) appears.
We want to change the default name to (employee_date_time ) on click of save.
We have found a approch by using the folder level javascripts (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2266799#2266799%232266799).
In case we use folder level scripts "where should we write the JavaScript code in the Adobe Form to trrigger the this script on click of Save Button (in the menu)?"
Also is there any other apporch which does not require folder level javascript as its a security issue also we need to maintain in all the user systems.
Please let me know the approch to address the issue.
Thanks .

Create pdf forms from a xml file for follow up information

Forgive my amateurishness, I have a simple .xml that was created with excel with name, address, date of service, age, dob, account #, unit, and business name. I need a form to be pre-populated with the .xml data but have other fields (mainly Yes/No check boxes) that need to be populated by another user. This user would then finish filling out the form and return it to me via email. I have created the form in LC Designer ES2 and created it with Acrobat Pro X. However when I attempt to import data I can only see the first .xml record. So my question is, how do I create multiple .pdf forms for each .xml record? Do I need to use Java within LC Designer? Or use Adobe Pro? I am not afraid to attempt to code, (I have many excel programs that batch print to .pdf using vb).
Thank you in advance

I don't play with forms enough to give an answer. However, you might search the Forms sub-forum for a possible solution. You might also find better answers there, though many of the forms experts drop by here too.

How to edit text in a form edited in LCD / Acrobat 9?

So I have a few minor edits to a form that was created in LCD 9 and Acrobat Pro 9. Apparently this seemingly simple task is now impossible with the latest versions. When I try to edit it in Acrobat XI I get the message "This form cannot be edited in Acrobat" but I have no way to edit the text in LCD.
Are users of forms from release 9 really stranded?

I may still have a version of AA9 available to play with. If so, I will try to check things out and see if there are alternatives. Of course, you could recreate the form in Acrobat XI (that is where printing to a new PDF or extracting the info would be useful). You could also try Forms Central that is part of XI. It may be that Forms Central can deal with a LCD form, never tried it (but I tend to doubt it). If you did not use any of the fancy features of LCD forms, you might be better off just transferring it to AcroForms in XI.
OK, I opened an AcroForms file in Designer for AA9 and saved. I then opened the file in AA9 and was surprised that I would edit the text of the form. When I went to edit the form fields it took me to Designer as would be expected. I played around in Designer a bit and could not find a way to edit the text, but the text could be edited in AA9. I think this is what you had described.
I then opened the LCD form in AA XI and found the same result that you did. I was not able to edit either the text or the forms. However, I was able to export the form with most fields to DOCX. The result was pretty good for the form I was working with (suggesting it had reasonable tagging -- but that may also have been done by Designer, I am not sure). There were a few form fields that did not seem to come out, but most did on the 4 page form. I then used PDF Maker to create a new PDF and the result gave most of the form fields, similar to the docx file. It may be that this conversion process might be the most useful, unless you possibly have a form with dynamic fields that is unique in Designer.
Hope that at least clarifies a few things for all of us and gives you some ideas. You might find additional input from the folks in the forms sub-forum.

Problems submitting form with Adobe Reader X?

Our agency created a PDF fillable form, and recently three respondants using Adobe Reader X (on PCs) have contacted us to say that the submit button is not working and they are unable to save the contents of the form to a file on their computer. The Forms Central Forum had said Adobe 8.0 or higher would support the fillable form, so we are surprised to be running into this. Has anyone else encountered this problem and found the solution? Is there a step we are missing? Thank you!

@melissasnider : make sure that the form filler are using Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader or Acrobat Mobile to fill up the form. Any other PDF viewers doesn't support the submission functionality. More information can be found here : http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2653.
