Spammers beware

Geri_Mars · 07-12-2011, 02:00 PM

Too many have joined this site only to spam it with their advertising products

Spammers who do this, will not get away with it

There are forum members who do not like to tolerate this....

If you join this forum to spam or disrupt the rest of the members
...................Trust me.. it will be dealt with ASAP

Others who join to read and post in usual topics.. you are most welcome

Thanks for helping out here -- I am upgrading the forum and working on it as well

Will introduce new user signup capture.. alot of people are spamming profiles right now as well

Going to research into some antispam upgrades

Thanks for your help here

I have installed a reCAPTCHA system.. in addition looking into more anti-spam features.. this will help stop the automated account creations.. now people have to spam manually

Truthed · 07-13-2011, 03:53 AM

In addition, a new set of link posting and link rules have been implemented. There is a task of cleaning spammers coming soon however

Thanks, they will stop.. right now they are using some bot to automate registrations and manually break the captcha.. then are posting spam/links

I slowed em down.. but once they realize the posts aren't working as planned, they will stop as I imagine it costs resources to break those captchas

hi guys, at the moment i check the site pretty much daily and dont mind reporting the spam but its a pain in the bits having to wait a minute between each report, especially considering how much there has been recently, if you could drop that wait temporarily until the spams sorted?

Truthed · 07-14-2011, 03:37 AM

Thanks, I don't think I can modify that wait time.. what I have done is introduced a change to prevent the spammers from registering.. if they post more spam, it is done with old accounts. Please just keep reporting if you can, I will ban them and remove all spam by that particular user. Keeping on top of this here and trying to move forward the website
