SPAMMING PROBLEM

Well guys, I have done everything I can think of to deter spam, but the problem is is that these are HUMAN spammers, not automation bots. Therefore, it doesn’t matter if I make some fields required (location, special question, etc). The only thing left I can do is make all future registrations moderated…meaning we’d have to approve each person…and that sucks because I believe a lot of people want to start posting right away rather than wait a day or so and lose interest. Also, if we went this route, that means we’d be getting tons of email a day that we’d have to approve.

Well, I do think the spamming is gradually waning a bit.

Perhaps you could give the mods some controls regarding IPs?

And our latest SPAMMER is

naughjusab

No posts as yet, but with a gobbledygook name like that, it’s only a matter of time.

If we save one post after banning the spammer I can start looking at Ips. Then maybe we can wild card repeats!

This is quite disgusting

I think it going to be the only solution, the amount of spam is becaming crazy in this last days.

We have enough mods to handle this situation. A required activation would be needed only if the board becomes in bearable. We should start with IPs and go from there.

I’m wondering if there is any glitch in the software that allows bots to circumvent the confirmation numbers/letters field?
