Spam-Hunters??

Postby Blood axe » Fri Mar 04, 2011 5:01 am

Ive noticed that spammers are happening more & more lately. I hope its not a trend. Look at the birthdays at the bottom of the forum- alot of FAKe accounts.

Mybe we need some honorary spam-hunters to delete spam & get rid of fake accounts.

After several hours of trying to figure this out, I think I've added the function of limiting the ability to post links by post count. This is the single best tool for fighting spammers. I just hope it works correctly, it's possible I messed something up. I'll register a new account to see if it worked.

Spammesr are still getting through. Some guy joined and posted 30+ times- all crap. Maybe you can get some regular posters and give them the ability to delete posts.

Or at least the ability to suspend accounts until you can approve or delete them.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I normally check new members every day and block obvious spammers, but I didn't make it onto the forum yesterday, which just happened to be when we had a major spamming attack. All deleted and blocked now.
