New SPAM mod

Nokia · Site Admin Joined: 08 Nov 2003 Posts: 18552

Hi All,

To prevent SPAM, we are now testing a new MOD.

This will not allow new users to post URL on the forum if

1. They joined in last 5 days
2. If they have less than 5 posts.

It is the same MOD we use on this forum.

This will stop lot of SPAM on your form.

Still you are requested to actively moderate your forum to keep spamers away.

Thanks,

BizHat Admin

Isn't any way we can delete a bunch of new users? I've been manually deleting about 10 to 15 spammers each day... is there any way to group delete them?

But how comes admins can't post urls or stuff? Like I assume most admins do want to post urls and don't want to have to wait 5 days on their own forum right Surprised

?
Is there anyway to disable this or away to make admins be able to post urls on the forum before the 5day wait is over?

I would prefer this new MOD to be admin activated. I intend for my forum to have anumber of photos and new members will be unable to post these because of this.

This means my forum will be almost useless. Can this either be done away with or made Admin activated please.

Thanks.

The new mod is active now ...
... and the Spammers keep spamming: now they put the U*R*L*s in the Location field while serious users cannot place U*R*L*s or even C# code in their posts.

1. Inactive users should be hidden from the memberlist (coz that's all the spammers want: putting their links on the memberlists).
2. There should be a function to delete all inactive accounts that are older than 24, 48, or 72 hours.

Okay so anyways is this mod admin activated yet? Because I need to hurry up and post some pictures and thins for my site and none of my members are patient so they are annoying me about this.. I dont really care about spammers since my forum members are all moderators of different parts of the forums and they clean it daily.

I just tried to post an idea of how to combat this problem with an image and got this:

Now I wish I had done more research. This stupid spam thing is even keeping my admins from posting links and I need that information for my users. This should be a option for Admins to turn on and off, heck, admins should have autonomy as far as this goes anyways.....
