Spam
Is there a way to limit people to a single welcome thread?

Sure. The problem is the bots are getting better. SCS was hit by bots that were waiting out the post timer and they lit the boards up. I guess a 5 post minimum starting in the intro section could help but that's rather annoying
|
It would take a little special logic, but not such a big deal to limit the number of threads STARTED in a forum section to one. I wouldn't limit the number of replies obviously.
And yes, bots are getting way better at circumventing. |
Its sad cuz i got like 20 emails lastnight and they where all spam :(
|
I've probably removed 30 spam posts since last night at least. The past two days have been crazy.
|
Same here, it's getting fucking ridiculous
|
Me too. I've changed the registration system to require new members to be moderated. This will be a PITA for me and will delay legit users getting in, but will stop bots. There may be some "sleepers" in the current user list, I'll clean them out tonight.
|
Sorry I know I blew you guys up with reports but I hate them too and like reports on the board I admin for.
|
I set the registration to moderation only and terminated all obvious bots. This will stop the bot spam at the expense of a PITA for me and delaying registration for legit users.
