Spam in the forum

Post by Scott »

Spam in the forum has gone out of control. Just today I had to delete more than 20 spam messages in the forum from two different users, plus I deleted about 8 new registered users (spammers). So, I changed the setting in the forum so Admin (me or Rien) must confirm the registration for each new person registering.

Unfortunately, this will slow down the registration process, and make extra work for me and Rien. But the alternative is to allow the spammers to take over the forum.

In the long term, I m looking into upgrading the forum so spamming won't be so easy.
