AndreZA Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 It's getting quite out of hand. So can't you use this http://recaptcha.net/ so that there is more security when signing up and logging on. I've been to two sites today alone that use them. PPPPLLLLLLEEEEAAAAAAASSSEEEE!!!!!
Iwan Kemp Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Yeah, I'm with Mampara on this. (Just to be 100% sure, we are talking about roadies right? ) Can't you add one of those veri-code-thingies. What's the word?

Iwan Kemp Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Hey Crow ? Like your LZ lyrics ? How is your wrist healing up? ? (Does this count as spam?) Shot. Amazing song with awesome lyrics. Wrist is much better thanks. Healing quicker than what was expected... SPAM OFF.
AndreZA Posted January 8, 2010 Author Posted January 8, 2010 Or an option to report as?SPAM -->?send mail to?admins --> Admins approves --> post gone. why do we have to go to all that trouble? Implementing a encrypted log-in word will stop it completely.
Wayne Potgieter Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I think i know who is the culprit for spamming the whole time. Please keep your eye out for him and if you see him, beat his ass with a stick.
Mudsimus Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I've noticed that 3% of all the daily users on the hub is from china. Obviously those are all spammers/spambots.
Slowbee Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 can someone with same savy (needed for simplicity) explain how a spambot works .....
Matt Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 There is a Captcha image on the registration page, however as this is an older version of the forum software the SPAM bots seem to have found a way round it. First step is to upgrade the forum software. Then we can look at options like recaptcha if its still a problem. @Slowbee... Wikipedia has the answer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spambot
