Re: Spammers
Good timing! We've be discussing that. It does seem to be becoming a regular nuisance lately. We're working on a solution.

Re: Spammers
Also, does this increase in spamming heighten any risk of our personal information, such as email addresses and passwords.

Re: Spammers
I really don't think so. None of that info is accessible to members. You can email or PM someone, but you can't see their actual address. Ian should chime in though, he's the website guy.

No, it's just phishers.. people who want you to click their links and "buy" phoney stuff. Also, I can't see anyone's passwords or anything

ReCAPTCHA keeps out about 95% of them but it's gradually becoming less effective (on the LR anyway)

Re: Spammers
Well, we have a visual confirmation thingy but that's not really working it seems.. Apparently on phpBB boards if you get rid of the "phpBB" at the bottom it'll get rid of most spammers. I'll try it out next week when I'm home.

Re: Spammers
Just deleted a ton of spam and banned the idiot that posted all the messages. We are working to get this under control

Re: Spammers
IF you are posting email addresses please use words for AT as @ and dot as .
I wish I was purple, because I'm feeling blue. I'm not looking for love, but a good fuck'll do.

Re: Spammers
Are you referring to actually posting it on the boards, typing it in PM's, or typing it in like that when we register for the site?Scheckywhite wrote:IF you are posting email addresses please use words for AT as @ and dot as .

Re: Spammers
I just banned 3 users for spamming or spam suspicion. We must look like a tasty board for spammers. It's like an infestation in here.

Re: Spammers
We shouldn't give anyone the benefit of the doubt. I saw some suspicious post from this Kevron guy yesterday....I think you mods should ban him.
