Just wondering who deletes these and if you also ban the IP, seems the same ones are back every other day.

I'm one of the moderators and move them to a 'spam' area where Rick can ban their IP's. Unfortunately, ip's change frequently.

Keeps the keyboard broken in eh?

Even word filters could help a lot.

They could, but that isn't perfect either. We would need to check the filter to make sure a valid message isn't getting blocked over something embedded in the title or message.

I agree, today was especially bad. I am just a moderator for the forum, I'll see if I can get Questman to see what he can do.

F'ing eh. 108 spam posts in the past 24 hours. More traffic than we legitimately get in 3 months.

frcorey · Post by **frcorey** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 6:20 am

we could vote which is the best of the spam,
Porn or Drugs?

Can it be set up so users have to be validated before they can post?

I get about 50 e-mails a day though asking me to validate users.. only two of them since I turned the option on have been real users. Annoying but worth it.

Been over a thousand new members / users since I registered just 7 weeks ago, most are from overseas and I'll wager that less than 50 of them have any real idea what this place is all about.

Just my two cents for today.Â Â Â Â
