Boy has B.S. been spammed!

There's more spam here than in a boatload of Flying Circus DVDs :groar:

Well. In regard to this Htbaa gave up "a few minutes" to ban the worst user.

He couldn't be bothered to delete the spam posts. Even though there aren't that many LOL

Ok. I should update to say Zosma and I are now moderators (thanks to Htbaa <3). We cleared up the spam mess, for now.

The forums have flooded with spam again. I think it's time for captcha...

Captcha can be cracked. It's in the session. Easy peasy. You need stronger authentication.

Make every registration to be approved by a moderator. And they have to write a resume why they want to join the forums; I mean, everyone can read/see the forums. When you want to join you should have a motive, i.e. not gonna spam.


Oo! Oo!

Also purge accounts that haven't logged in for a year. (Mail them for a confirmation login and say they have 2 months time)

They do something like that on the UPS site.
