Hi guys,

If you see a post for sex ads or spammers on the site, please let Jan and I know. I'm trying to keep the site PG-13.

thanks

Nebo

Do you have Visual confirmation set up when registering? It cuts down the bots and spammers. You can do a moderator approval for registering, it's not fun but it only takes a few minutes a week on a small forum like this. On a board I moderate we had to block all addys from .ru Just too many hackers and spammers. We lost a chunk of db to them them and it's really become a pet peeve of mine. :evil:

I'd look at new member SumkinKot. And I thought I saw a few others recently.

EDIT: look at the last 15 members to join, a dozen are spammers.

What a way to spend 45 mins. I deleted about 200 spammer accounts tonight. This will probably be a never ending task.

Yeh, I was looking at the member list and there were about 15 or 20 that were sure fire spamers.

This forum is a lot bigger than CCMW. I remember when it was pretty small. It has grown alot in the last 3 years.

Once you get caught up it's not that hard. You just look at the memberlist of who joined since the last time you logged on, takes less than a minute usually.

Those accounts aren't high risk as they're just hoping someone will look at their profile. They're not posting all over.

Yep, they are not posting at all, but it is the concept of purity that drove me to purge the spammer accounts.
