That's two nights on the trot now, about the same time, that spam has appeared. Any way of combating this mods ? We Don't Care About Pot Holes !! |

Besides the usual antispam methods (like the reCaptcha was/is) you can additionally introduce a small script inside the registration PHP page(s) where a simple question is asked and a simple, unique, answer must be given.

Martin has been looking into new scripts, but mist spammers counteract these safe guards asap

I moderate a motorcycle site in which we have VBull set so that the first 5 posts by a new member must be approved by a mod before they are visible by the general public. If deemed as spam, I have the ability to ban the member as well as their IP.
