New member boom... - Whisky-Ace - 30-09-13

Hi all...
I dont know if its just me, thinking this...
We are getting alot of new members 460 to 465 in a week.
Only 3 of the 460+ new members are posting and they are spamming the forum.
I know olskool720 have made somthing to stop the spamming...
But i think it is becoming worse...
The most users online at one time was 184 on Saturday, September 28th, 2013 at 07:38 PM

What can we do about it ???

I've just had a Thread jumped all over by spam. Annoying.

Ollie will prob know more than me but can't we put some sort of anti bot check when signing up eg - Capcha (I know this can be a pain when you can't read the damn text, but you know what I'm getting at.)

Those spammers love that snowboard threadShocked


RE: New member boom... - Bongosi - 02-10-13

That snowboard thread was mine! Get rid of it - it's not important. Delete that whole thread. Is it possible to delete all new members with zero posts and then add some sort of letter code thing for sign up?


RE: New member boom... - pugwashpz - 02-10-13

How about New members from recommendations from recognized and trusted members?
Am sure this has been suggested before :/

Or when the reputation is -3 all posts from the last few weeks will be deleted? Than 3 people other than the mods can ban a member and most regular members have a reputation above 5 so it is not possible to become a victim as a regular member.
