Just got hit by spam.

Well-known member
Im banning each account, but it comes back on a different ip and email, but the email host part is the same (@pjjkp.com) Had about 5 accounts register.
 
We've had loads of spammer attempt to sign up, we have out accounts on manual validation, so they never actually get as far as posting on the boards, had to switch to Q & A instead of recaptcha, it's slowed it, but I need to tweek the questions a bit more

Wow just had some one post porn, and I have email activation turned on... wow they are getting past that too, unless it is a real person.
 
Just sent an abuse mail to the server provider and upstream provider.
Alright now thanks too the Report conversation mod I have installed, one of my members was PM'd gay porn by the same member named "anon" who also posted gay porn on one of the threads... wow they can send PMs now? here's the ip:

User Registration IP
193.200.150.125 mail125.anonymouse.org
Account Confirmation IP
193.200.150.125 mail125.anonymouse.org

Looks like its using a proxy

Thanks. I recognise that IP - it's on my list :) Sent an email to ioflood and HE.net. :)
 
Pre-moderate all new user posts or you will wake up to porn every morning and your guests will be exposed to it.

Create user groups and move real members into a user group not subject to pre-moderation unless you have moderators online 24/7, which most forums do not !!
 
Wow another one same as the last one

I'm looking but I can't find it. Was there an addon here that allowed us to promote users based on post count? So you could create a "Probation" user group and set it up so that they wouldn't be a Registered User until say 10 posts. That way you could set the Probation user group to not have sigs or PMs.

Am I just blind?
