pete roper Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Whats with all this shit appearing in lots of the sub forums. You lot are usually great at weeding it out instantly. Is there a particular virulent attack of it at the moment??? I'd offer to help but I'm too thick to work with 'pooters. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Jaap Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Spammers have found a way onto the board. I have to upgrade the forum software, but I just haven't got time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jihem Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 We moderators already saved your enlarged penis to be botoxed with free mp3s a few times these last few days so bear with us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Minnaert Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 We moderators already saved your enlarged penis to be botoxed with free mp3s a few times these last few days so bear with us Maybe you have to change the extra question for new members, or isnt that there anymore. Other thing could be that members need a number of posts before posting in the classifieds forum Edit: I added a registration question, it wasn't there anymore.

docc Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'm more of a "fireman" moderator than a "policeman" moderator. I'm the guy who shows up all smartly dressed to keep bystanders back while your house burns down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrt Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 And I provide the match. Just here to help, friends. just here to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Jaap Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I've added a new module (or "hook" as they call it in forum software land) which prevents spam also. Don't ask me how it works, but together with Paul's effort, I think we'll be spam free for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Minnaert Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 well the last registrator, has an email address listed here: http://www.stopforumspam.com/ipcheck/77.238.58.161 the email on that page is the one he is registered with. Maybe facebook logon brings new spammers? Spammers always seem to have google in their profile as location, don't know why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Jaap Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I've added the facebook logon after the spam attack; don't think it has anything to do with it, but if it's going to be a problem, I'll dump this feature right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Minnaert Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Jaap, still at least 152 spam members in the system They all have google in the location field most registered in Januari. And type of guzzi allways has their login name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Jaap Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I know... but I haven't found a way to filter them out and delete them. But the massive spammer registration is no more since last weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docc Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Yes, thank you, Paul! I see we are being "crawled" by googleanalytics rather constantly. For one, I would rather be invisible to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Jaap Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I have Google Analytics installed because I want to check if the site is visited enough to keep it running... Just kidding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
