dutchy Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I've noticed it too Felix. This is a big problem we are experiencing. We're busy trying to find a permanent solution for accounts/ users like these. Thanks for the heads up. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felice Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 blast them blast them;-)))) stopforumspam.com is a really good tool and very effective. we type the ip-adress and the email into the search engine. These two characters are enough to identfy spam users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 But how do you prevent them from coming back when they are using different IPs and emails each time? How about a (more sophisticated) captcha for new member applications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthAloha Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 At Rick's request I've configured the forum software so an admin needs to approve a new user. This may stop some of the spammers. I've also written a little tutorial for the staff on how to really ban the crap out of a user and the IP they come from. Let's hope this helps a bit. -Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Thanks Eric! Let's hop this fixes the spammers once and for all...those dirty rats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
