Can someone take care of the bots?

Post by Diamondback »

It seems they have overrun the forums. Can an admin remove them perhaps?

OK, we've done a clean up of things a bit..

Can you (you probably are) always report the posts for spam if they turn up.



Thanks...........!

I've deleted 1000's of users just now of spam accounts.. most never posted.


With a bit of luck things are ok again.


as above.. shout if you spot spam still (very likely I've not got all)

25,500 spam posts removed today.

insane.


The forum is old...
Spam prevention methods are limited...
Google recapture does not work on this site without an update
the update actually requires a lot of work due to how long it has been since an updaTE.


Its a living nightmare :)


I have changed the antispam question. Might help.
