XF 1.5 Poll spam
- Thread starter dvduval

If it's a live link, that's not coming from XF itself. We don't allow formatting like that in poll titles or responses.
But beyond that, the poll text generally isn't explicitly checked for spam. You would potentially need to identify other means to point to these members and use something such as "spam phrases" to catch them (or active moderation, as some spam will always slip through).

I'm getting the same issue, have been for a couple of months now.
Spammers are pasting the poll question as a url and it turns into a clickable link when you view the final poll. The clickable link doesn't go to the URL text though, it links to the thread itself.
I've added this line of code to try and deal with when they put links in the thread title, and I use a fair few phrases from keywords I pick up from each new spam post. It seems we could do with running the poll title and responses through the spam cleaner too perhaps.
