spam?
 

i am sure all of us get spam thru email everyday, and from wat i searched so far, many are facing probs on the forums with registered users as well.

i dun have that problem with my registered users. however, it is the unregistered that i have a problem with. becoz i run an online fiction site, i let unregistered users post comments on the stories/poems.

but lately, i been getting forum spam, advertising stuff like viagra, cialis, levitra etc. anyone has any idea how to prevent that?

one more thing i wish to find out.... is it possible that a machine is responsible for this? the way i see it, it would take huge effort from someone to do it constantly... and i get abt 7-10 such replies per week (thank god) :rolleyes:

Don't allow unregged users to post at all: this will stop spam.

It's the only real way, that doesn't require hourly manual maintenance

omg hey, if this is relating to actual thread/replies check out my new hack:D it completely fixes this by forcing image verification on guests/unreigstered when they are making a post:)

actually it is a bot i think i got the same, this bot constantly advertises levitra in my forum feedback section>_>

oooo boy i could use levitra

(whats it for anyhow)?

levitra is for erectial disfunction which i think a website cant have, especially an animation one...

omg just took a look at it.... sounds like what i would love to have! heh will click install once i get done with my chores.... good one mate! :D

yup... thought of it. but the idea of lack of comments from unregistered users put me off. i guess it's a tough exchange.

lol, a member of mine decided to be funny one day and created a script to spam our spam forum. OKay, that wasnt so funny.
