Hello everybody,
My forum is still in progressing. I didn't launch it yet but i don't know why i had around 7 new members with the name : AAgx, ATremblay, BBardolph, JWIH, MILG, P85K, RMedrano ( all of them are using yahoo mail ). I saw them online most of time or all time . Are they Robot ? Could you please advice me how i can check whether they are robot or any tip to prevent Robot ?

( Carna is my friend )

Best Regards,
Jon

They are most likely spammers. I would start off by reading, The era of Big Spam is over and installing those mods to prevent spammers.

Ozzy47: Oh really, i didn't launch my forum yet ? anyway, thank you for your advise. I will install them.
P/s: i have just added the pic so you can see more clearly.

Yeah I would be willing to bet they are all spammers.

Excellent, glad to hear the mod is helping.

jonaus · #9 11-16-2014, 02:36 AM

Yes ! it's great ! Do you think i should add any other mod for this issue ? For ex : Spam-O-Matic ?

IMO it is not needed if you installed the mods I recommended.
