What would you do?
I have one board that I kindof let go, and I have been back lightly working on it.
But the problem is it became filled with spammers! They completely spammed a ton of threads (with tons of spammy links). I have cleaned up all the threads, took me half a friggin day.
Anyway, the problem is, they are still registering everyday, I would say average of 5 per day.
This is what I have did so far.
To register, you need a unique email (pretty standard), I made it mod aproval on new registration, and have deleted accounts when I catch them (so far they are pretty easy to spot with names like freeonlinemusic and viagrapharmacyman). Now the reason I just delete there username and not ban them is because, 1 they just create a new name with a new email. 2 they have different IP's addy's
I have banned alot of Ip addy's, but it seems like they have an endless amount.
What would you do?
What can I do to stop this? I thought by now it would slow down, but no such luck.
Any suggestions would be GREAT!
Thanks
Iceman
