SPAM in this board
Posted: Sat May 30, 2009 1:06 pm
Hi!
The last 2 days had a large increase in registered spam users. I have thus done those things:
* New registration has a harder captcha
* New user registration reauquires a simple custom profile input field where people need to enter a number
* New users must get their first post approved by a moderator. I usually visit the forums quite often, so new users should hopefully not need to wait too long before their posts get approved.
For the other moderators on this board: Please visit your modcp every now and then to also approve new valid users! Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Garvin
