Bloody spam adverts!!

Post by Dave6091 »

Hi all,

As a moderator I have been deleting these irritating shoe adverts as soon as I see them but I am now struggling to keep up!.
Is there some way we can block them permanently?. I will deal with the latest batch later when I have time.

Dave.

it has to be dealt with when people join, there needs to be a more in depth check before people are allowed to join. maybe a question about davrians that if you didn't know davrians you wouldn't know?

We are getting two hits a day now, as Shammy said other forums have a Q to pass before joining or you have to email a request to join.
Unfortunatly I do not have the skills to set this up!, do we have a techy on board?.
I will try and clear the latest load this evening but they will be back tomorrow!

I have a techy at work who may know about these things. I can ask him how to set it up. if he knows I will come back to you to see about how to make it happen. Give me a week.

thanks to Dave for bringing to my attention.

I have deleted the spam accounts and changed the registration process so that it involves a manual authorisation to activate any new accounts.

The forum has also been upgraded this afternoon to the latest version of the software to improve security.

Glad it is fixed, my tech guy is away so wouldn't have been able to help this week.
