I've been getting a lot of spam via the 'Contact Us' form lately, we get spam posts but nothing severe.

Just wanted to add a quick thing to this.
I had someone register from a .es e-mail address. AND I have the image verification set up. So I blocked everything from a .es e-mail address. |
Ton's of .ru spam recently, both on the forums and via Contact Us - on ALL of our forums...what a nightmare it's been grr...
|
Any spam killer updates?
Real pest now on my forum mostly cel phones... |
Is there any way of banning certain email suffixes from registering? ".ru" for example

I have a simple solution, for antispamming, but it is based on vB 3.0.xx.
If some one is interested, write to me and I'll provide the code. If you have installed my AWS hack, even better, but it is not necessary. It basically checks the first post the spammer makes and tries to find words you have predefined. It counts the occurence of these words and if the counter exceeds a predefined limit, it blocks the post and bans the poster. No more spamming for my board even from the Contact Us form. Please keep in mind that this is not a ready-made hack, I will give you instructions on how to do it, but it is not a cut-and-paste installation thing. |

Its that simple. I went from 50+ spams a day to ZERO. Just ask a question that only people would know who want access to your site. I have an offroading website, and my questions are like: "What car manufacturer makes the Bronco" Those foreign spamming jerks probably don't speak english. |
