Default Need help!!!! BAD! spammers and board problem
Ok so there are TWO problems on our board right now. First spammers are horrible! We have upgraded the board and it didnt help there are like 180 on there right now. Is there a way to get rid of them? or block them??

also when we go to the board www.tpggirlz.com some people are getting this message


vBulletin Message Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing. If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

after that it takes you to a problem shoot like page then you can click
on a link...now it doesnt do this for EVERY member!
i wonder if this is the -problem a memeber was having a problem getting on before...

1. do a search for "spam" title only in the mods section.

2. a hack/addon that you installed on your site is missing a security token, do a search for "security token" titles only.

This is the best for getting rid of the spammers, install and then check the logs and you will be amazed!

Try using the question/answer human verification option, instead of captcha (image verification)
