The spam is getting out of control

Then, what about shaved-headed ex-marines carrying armour-piercing, depleted-uranium Metal Storm weapons guarding the entrance?

Oops... Again, wrong forum. :shock:

Such as thing already operates when registering. Unfortunately, there are ways around it (such as a human registering, for instance). Activating this feature slowed the spam registrations, but unfortunately has not stopped them.

Cheers,

not sure what you mean there, but registration already requires recognition of some letters and numbers in a graphic, designed that a bot will have trouble reading them.. i get the impression that a lot of the spam bots are signed up by a person before they're unleashed.

He was replying to a spambot post which I have since deleted

Excellent contribution.

Agreed. I'm a moderator (currently administrator) on http://www.fordlaser.com ... while we don't have a big spam problem, we do have a lot of active members (over 6000 registered, i'd guess thousands active), and a lot of maintaining to do. it would suck to be the only moderator on there!

all the best with it, and Merry Christmas to all

I think NTR & Oliver need help - I was the only active mod on a car forum for a few months & it drove me nuts! Sharing the load so it isn't like a damn job would have to be better, well in my opinion anyway.

It would be worth deleteing the 20 or so spambots that have signed up in the last couple of days. Pretty easy to pick.

This is the 5th time I've cleaned this forum in 48 hours

Today I was out drinking and merry making with friends, onto it now :oops:

Deleted. I was out of line. My appologies.

Cheers,

There's a couple more now. They're just filing up every thread with shit.

Does this forum have any moderators?

by **Emo** » Sunday Dec 24, 2006 12:29 pm

There's another one now.

Some spambot has had a field day tonight posting about uncensored Britany Spears videos.
