On spam

[celestialdude]

OK, I’ve purged the system of users with no posts. This includes a whole ton of fake users created by spambots.

Spammers, beware! I am catching up to you!!!

There are also other measures being implemented on the site to prevent spam.

Meanwhile, bona fide users, please continue to enjoy this site and this magnificent fish!

OK I’ve just implemented something that WILL stop spambots from registering.

Now as for humans posting spam, they can only get as far as one post before we moderators hunt them down and exile them.

I have a feeling this measure should reduce most of the spam we’ve been getting.

A big THANK YOU to all the moderators for their help so far in keeping this site spam-free!!!

No problem but the first ten minutes of my time on this forum is now taken up with deleting stupid messages. I hope this works.

I see a few spam registrations that have come through. Am going to install an improved CAPTCHA module now. Meanwhile if there are any more spam postings, please be patient. Moderators, please let me know if the recent measures have helped at all. Thanks guys!

For now I’m manually approving all registrations until I can get a new (better) CAPTCHA module installed.
