THE SPAM IS GETTING RIDICULOUS
« on: January 16, 2010, 10:29:05 AM »
When i joined there was absolutely no spam but its been getting worse and i think its just horrible that people have to ruin a GREAT forum with spam. Obviously no one is going to buy the spam they are trying to advertise. Had to get that out! Love the forum still but hate spammers.

agreed

it is very frustrating.  I have decent security on the registration, I require the email confirmation, plus various other things but they STILL get through

im out of ideas.   I can ban people and delete accounts, but theyll keep coming back

sorry guys

I'm so sick of those spammers! For some reason they only spam the Gallery picture submission but last night all categories without this one got spammed.

Martini, isnt there any limit you can set like for instance maximum allowed new threads per user to like 5 each day or something? That last guy made 44 threads in a couple of hours I think it was. Can't you make an auto delete thread if it has VIAGRA in the topic? :D

Anyway nice forum but those occasional spammers pisses me off.
