Invasion of the junk/spam?

[Boris3]

Hey guys, I've noticed the recent proliferation of junk/spam threads especially in the general discussion forum. I hate seeing the new forum getting invaded by all of this. Any idea what's going on?

Agreed, I'm curious too. I have a feeling that half of the members are spammers.

yeah lots of spammers signing up. not sure if they are bots or not, but I delete threads once or twice a day. sorry I cant get to them faster! we may have to beef up the sign up process to stop this.

I've got some ideas for the spam control. I'll get on it soon guys, sorry!

If anyone has experience as an Admin with vB and has some experience with these issues, PM me!

[Boris3]

Looks like you've got this, no recent inroads from the bots

I spent some time this weekend doing some upgrades. So far so good.

I'll be doing some more work this week. Sorry about the rough start, we'll get it sorted!
