|
|
Just to let everybody know, we have had to move to manual hand approval of all new members. The amount of spammers that signup everyday compared to new members that actual post somethign thats not spam is sickning. We get 5-10 spammers everyday that signup and post a link to their spam site in their profile and then some go and post terrible spam messages.
So now when somebody joins the forum they will not be able to post until (or if ever) they get approved. This should cut down on spam 95%.  _________________ Jessica Simpson and Jessica Simpson Forums |

Ok I have manually installed a new spam mod to prevent spammers. Although we don't really have spammers posting in the fourms because they need to be manually approved by the admins, this new mod should make it easier on us where the spam bots wont get past the registration page, and new members will be able to post as soon as they signup and not wait for us to manually approve each member.
Its become hard to run this forum because we get over 20 members per day that signup just as a spam bot to post their links in our memberlist, this shouldnt happen anymore.
If you notice anything funny with the way the forum is running please let me know but I dont think there will be any bugs and a spam free forum! _________________ Jessica Simpson and Jessica Simpson Forums |
