ridding of spammers how do i?

[angelpie]

Latley there have been a TON of spammers signing up for our site. Is there a way to stop this? Its weird they started doing this alot all at once. I have been away for a while and not sure if i missed a update or something?

You could moderate new members, plus I've found that this helps, though I'm sure there are lots of other mods, as well: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=162642

Also you can ban certian email address .info, .ru, and .biz

<i>Yes, I agree...the .ru was one I just banned. Annoying as heck!</i>

I also like to ban yahoo and hotmial but its ultimatley up to you

[deezelpope]

Ooooh...ouch! Don't a lot of people use those? I know I do.

Yea but a lot of my spammers have been hotmail and yahoo, so its up to you

[deezelpope]

Wow, that's a bummer and a half! You could be missing out on a lot of legit members.

nice idea but majority of them when they register have legit email to confirm. i use that spam url.You must have 5 post in order to post url's.It work great for me
