recoil Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 This forum seems to be getting a lot of spam bots. I got 4 replies to old forum threads I posted today alone. Plus two sex-related spam messages in my inbox from September. I also see another account posting spam in this forum today. Not sure what can be done to stop 'em. Just wanted to let the admin know - peace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ornette Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 There seems to be no authentication on account sign ups for one, like a recaptcha or something. New members seem to add on constantly, with clearly dubious names. Perhaps a 'mod' or something could be installed onto the forum software to prevent this?

recoil Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Yeah it would be awesome if someone could fix that problem. This is a great forum - shame to see it getting plagued by spambots. I got 3 more emails today from the forum - 2 were spam replies to old topics I started (I've unfollowed them now) - plus a spam Russian video from "JohnnyLag" sent to my inbox - lol.. Obviously I could just turn off email notifications from the site, but I do like to know if someone's replied to a topic I started, or when I have a private message...

haste Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 You're still getting messages? Eek! This should have been sorted now but it's possible a few of the old spam users who got through are still hanging around. Update us if you get more, please! JohnnyLag is now banned!
