as you all can see, the amount of spambot-threads are getting more...

sooo, the question is, if there is anything we can do to reduce it... maybe that guests are not allowed to post links? that would not reduce the threads, but at least... well, there are no links...

I think eFlare had a solution for the Spambotproblem back before the servercrash, but it seems like it got deleted, along with other things like the Picturegallery...

I am starting to suspect that some black hats have painted a target at us. Which caused the forum wipe in the first place. Banging Head

Eh. I catch em and delete them when I can. It's the guest posting that's irritating to me. But, I can ban IP's, which is what I've been doing.

But, just a favour to me: if guest poster spambots post a new thread in the sitre suggestions subforum, please don't respond to the thread. It makes it easier for me to see and delete.

yes, eFlare had setup accounts that could not post any URL links until they had at least 5 or 10 posts, hence solving our problems

It would actually be fun to hide a weapon of massive destruction in you pants... and no, I'm not talking about genitals.

But even more fun would be to use it, and see the face of surprise before sending humans to oblivion.
