rampelsauce Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 It appears with the influx of new members, we have gotten a few spammers on the forum. If you see spam, please send Chris or I a message. We want to keep this all nice and tidy for your viewing pleasure. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240sxguy Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I'd have reported more but I got sick of waiting the 60 seconds before reporting posts. I am an admin on another site, and rely heavily on the report posts button to keep things cleaned up. Can't be there every minute of the day.

REKIII Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 What is in place for new member registration? Would it be easier to have to manually accept each new registration? You guys are on here enough, it shouldn't be too much of a delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest piku Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 What about getting a "human verification" thing..where you type the strange looking words from the image?...not really sure how you get those but every other forum I've ever signed up for has one. Seems to work well. Or even a simple question/answer deal, which may require less work. One of the DSM forums I was on back in the day (yeah, i know "ewwww dsms") simply had "What does DSM stand for?" as a security question during the registration process.

Captcha has already been turned on, I will also be installing some spam detection add-ons within the next day, not sure if I'll have to take down the forum yet. If I do, I'll get to it later tonight then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I have implemented two anti-spam solutions into the forum which should automatically take care of spammers from now on. I apologize for not having this issue resolved as quickly as I would have liked, but thanks everybody for putting up with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Someone I bumped into over on r3v said he is awaiting admin approval. Is the new system clear enough that you dont accidentally block legit cheesehead bavarian motorcar lovers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Unfortunately he will have to reregister. I had user registration moderation turned on to keep spammers from getting in the last week. I was getting so many requests that I had to just delete all of them. Couldn't tell wether a username/email was spam or not. Hopefully we didn't loose too many potential members in the process.The new system will check email and ip addresses against the stop forum spam database as they register. It is all behind the scenes so the registration experience will stay the same. There is also a small level of auto-moderation to detect spam posts for any bots that may get through.
