Title: open board locked for now Post by: Kefka on June 16, 2011, 10:10:01 am well apparently were being massively bombarded by spammers..
this board is locked until i can figure out why the anti spam measures i had installed dont work anymore... register an account and post on the other boards Title: Re: open board locked for now Post by: Hotshot[SF] on June 16, 2011, 11:11:56 am our ban list went from 2 pages to 6 pages in about a week.
One potential fix is to change the security image so bots cant read it. Or make sure all guest post are approved by an admin first.

i added a forum spammer screening mod that also didnt stop them, even though they are listed and i even installed a new captcha addon, and its not showing up.. seems the settings are just not working as they should.. maybe thats why were being spammed like crazy Title: Re: open board locked for now Post by: Intangir on June 16, 2011, 11:49:09 pm oh well
i got rid of all guest posting now you have to register, and it checks against an anti spam db. (should work on registration) hopefully i didnt mess up any other settings. there are so many settings.. |
