Jaczs 701 Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 What a shame that the weekends seem to be filled with mindless people filling the pages with spam. HLM and Countrygirl 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Countrygirl 245 Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 There must be a way to stop these people joining the forum, come on Bolsover you must be able to find a way. When we first join we just fill in our details and we are free to join, why don’t you put in an extra stage whereby you only allow us to fully join once you are happy with our details. Then you can invite new members to set up their password and they are then free to roam. DavidH 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oldworldtraveller 2225 Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 On the majority of forums you have to be approved by admin or one of the moderators before you can post. This is why most forums are spam free. Come on Bolsover, it's not difficult or that time consuming. DavidH and HLM 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not many web sites have Moderators working week-ends, What they can do is use filters to spot the spammers, other Forum's use this method, and the Moderators to stop things getting personal...Davybe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ikea Logistics 12 Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Don't know if they use it but there is a modification called stopforumspam that could be installed. It checks on a list of known spammers and/or ipaddresses I use it on my forum software and I haven't had spammers for quite a while now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
