Spam Users and Threads

Looks like we are starting to get hit by spam bots.

I guess we should feel honoured.........

Yup we have a cross dresser going under the name of John/Lisa speaking in perfect 'England' introducing themselves.

I didn't realise Trinidad was in Colorado...

Keep up the good work reporting the spam posts guys, it has been a great help. For those who haven't noticed it, there's a little triangle with exclamation mark at the bottom left of each post for reporting posts.

There's only so much that you can do to stop them. We've deleted a few before they've managed to post, but you'll always get a small few who get through.

It's getting a little ridiculous, we'll have to do something about it.

Well what I do with the IMAS forums is manually approve each registration. Spammers are easy to pick out by the names they use & email addys. Line them all up & bulk delete.

That's what we've setup now. I just have to find the permissions for mods to moderate user registrations...
