SPAM!!!!

Postby rovers95 » 20 Feb 2011, 12:45

This site, over the last 24 hours has been inundated with more spam/shite threads comments than ever :twisted:Alls sorts, from "aircraft videos" to free "porn shots" etc!!! You can just look on the forum home page and see the "last comments" field and see who is responsible (there's a trend already) Mods (wonsa etc) can't anything be done about this? This is a good forum, I for one visit every day, like many others - it's a shame to see it go down the pan....

Totally agree. But if you look at how you register to this 'forum' all you have to do is either sign in with your twitter (full of spam accounts), Facebook or by signing up and putting in your details - without a security code (the image with letters and numbers). It's like this forum was made in the '90s.

I just read this post and I go back and now there is a Porn pdf topic :lol:

Nice one to the administrators on this site as they are being removed pretty quick, but would be better if they were blocked to start with.

If a security code was introduced it'd stop this. Come on Mods,get the finger out.

Agreed. The only way to stop it or slow it down is with the visual verification on registration
http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=393503. This looked useful for the Mods don't know if it's any good as I'm not that techie and couldn't understand half of it :Dbut seemed to solve a lot of the ploblems.

The spam problem is being looked at, this isn't something the Mods can do.

The Mods have been doing a great job keeping the board clean, it's not as easy as it seems and users only see a small percentage of what actually lands on the board.

The additional spam was because I haven't been around to do my part for a couple of days, so sorry about that.
