Seems like a lot of spam!!

Boy there sure is a lot of spam that pops up on here isn't there! I think I read 2 or 4 junk posts today alone! Wish something could be done about it.

On that note, is there a way to "mark" forums read? I can't find it and would like to mark something read if I feel it is just spam!

Thanks

We could eliminate the SPAM by dis-allowing posts by 'guests'.

We would have to require everyone who posts to the forum be a 'member' with a valid user account.

I think most of the boards are this way today, but it kind of goes against our 'openness' policy.

Something for the admin and moderators to consider...

Unfortunately with our rising popularity in the search engines, this is a side effect.

It is kind of irritating though...

Yeah.. but we are free to sign up, so I might just do that.

I have the ability to block ip addresses, but man, they are using a bunch of them..

Thanks for that input Matt, I think that is the route we shall take.

You can block a "subnet" of addresses, So depending on what they are you might be able to group them together.

I will take a look and see what's doing, but requiring people to create an account to post is kind of the norm nowadays.

And someone can still look with our registering.

I had a post on the same subject, got distracted. I think it is a bored teenager I can talk to them in Russian if you want and scare them off. Posting Russian porn on our site is just down right tacky. But I did learn something.

Well guest are not allowed to post anymore. So that should take care of it.

Brad rocks

Mark all Topics Read is at the lower left of every sub forum page.

Spammers suck.

Thanks for the tip on the Mark all forums read. I searched all over looking for it, but just didn't see it. Got it now though!


Thanks to the Admin for getting rid of the spammers!!

We get them from time to time, usually in "En-grish." Chinese sites trying to sell their counterfeit crap.

I never knew. Brad was deleting it so fast, but that one I was able to translate and it came with PIC's

Dammit! And I missed it?
