I'd just like to buy a pint for the individual Mod who had to purge all those bot spam threads.
Good work.

Looks like you're going to need a few more pints, Peter...
Is it possible within the Proboards system to limit the amount of posts new members can make? That's seems to be what other forums do to stop the spambots.

Someone tap a keg for Peter... damn those spambots. Ban by ip address? Or is that child's play for these scoundrels to work around?

Unfortunately an IP ban wont stop it, it'll be running multiple VPN's. Edit: Looking through the Proboards support site, they seem to recommend setting Registration Approval: support.proboards.com/thread/567934/prove-humanyou could always enable pending registration so staff must approve membership before they can login. to do this go to: Admin >> Settings >> Forum Settings >> Login And Registration (tab), go down to "Registration Settings" and enable "Restrict Registration" |
