Hey,

My user albums are getting spammed pretty much hourly. I have changed the Human Verification a few times, and used the 15 posts before posting URLs hack and set Albums to be moderated, but nothing seems to stop it.

They are not actually posting any pictures - so there is nothing to moderate for it. They just post a page long description for it.

Any ideas on how to stop this? I can't even find any information on others having this problem.

i am getting this too.

at the moment the only way i can see to get rid is to delete the users.

most of the ones that have the album spam do not have any posts so are easily removed.

i would like a quick and easy delete all per page option though

i am finding them using all albums at the moment.

Here's something I wrote on how to stop spam in general...

You should try the "question and answer" feature in VB... it works really well

i am using vbstopforumspan which is a really great way to stop the spammers but it depends on them already having used a ip username or some other defining action.

if not you still get them through.

i am already using questions and answers aswell as captchas too.

what i really need is a mod which will let me tick a box and delet an al;bum in the all albums list.

rather than one at a time
