Dave Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 It is getting pretty bad, luckily I'm a genie and your wish is my command. Let's hope this battles the spam. [ATTACH=CONFIG]1882[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleMassacre Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I don't even think that will work. I think these are actual people just just spamming a few threads and that's it. The only way I think something would would be to moderate their new posts which would suck for the new people. Or maybe do a combination of the 2, moderate new posts that don't have their email validated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMasterGeneral Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Other forums do a bit of moderation, however, its more like: You can only post X per 24 hours until you reach Y approved posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coly010 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 That wouldn't stop them. They can still do at least a post a day and that's all the bots / people need really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMasterGeneral Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 We could tell them we want to spam, and thus nulling any of that feelz people get when they spam, and thus, they spam elsewhere. [/sarcasm] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zettieee Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 How about waiting for an admin/mob to accept the register? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coly010 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 That would stop legitimate people from coming back after signing up if they have to wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeB Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Spamming is getting worse! Try a email verification? Email verification doesn't prevent spam. At all. The spambots are smart enough to check an email... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
