Forum Attacks

(1/10) > >>

rick.ca:
It seems the forum must be due for an upgrade in it's protection measures. We're now getting more spam than legitimate posts. Simple Machines Forums attacks seems to contain good advice. Perhaps items 4 and 5 (in the original post) need to be addressed. I also think all the "members" with no posts should be deleted. The vast majority of them are spam bots. I'm sure any legitimate user who has such an account deleted won't mind re-registering (under new security measures) if they understand why the deletion was necessary.

Thx, I will take a look at this topic immediately

Rick.ca, completely agree with this topic.
Really it is necessary to protect the forum from spam bots, because what is happening lately on this forum is already unsustainable.

Shit, I have tried 4 mods already, different registration options - no use :(

rick.ca:
If you delete all existing accounts with no posts and give me permission to delete new ones, I could try to keep them at bay. Looking at recently created accounts, it's rather obvious which ones are spammers. I suppose if these are real people paid to spam, there may be no other way. :-\
