Spam’o’matic works well on my forum.
Yeah, but you're still young and full of P and V. I'd trade on that part.Still a battle I have to fight weekly...
I had no idea how much work this forum is for the moderators. Full time “bop a mole”.Last few days were tough, and we were slammed with thousands of posts by spam profiles. Not a fun time for me and the other mods.
This morning I found a spam comment management tool that works with our forum software. It is called akismet, and it's $100 annually. I am hoping this fixes the issue! I also made a time delay for registrations coming from the same IP address.
Hoping this fixes the issue! Let's see what happens today..
I would love to find them and show them my displeasure.And tbeir back.
There's something to this. Sangoma34 has been a member for something like 30 minutes and probably has 50 spam posts up so far. Make them wait 24 hours and they'll probably be on to some other way of annoying people.Could this work/help:
Every new member is moderated until X days (30? 180?) after their first post. New members can pay $y ($1, $5, $10?) to be immediately unmoderated.
I've just started reporting them and then ignoring them.There's something to this. Sangoma34 has been a member for something like 30 minutes and probably has 50 spam posts up so far. Make them wait 24 hours and they'll probably be on to some other way of annoying people.
I’ve been reporting them whenever I see them pop up.Should be fixed now. And we have some really good spam mitigation software and somehow the AI spam bots are still getting through. It's strange

Since I own my own mail server I just ban the country they came fromMy email has gotten to the point I created a rule in Outlook that anything coming from a gmail address skips the junk folder and is automatically deleted. Spam attacks on our corporate network have increased 600% since last summer.
This seems a bit extreme, Gmail is actually one of the better ones out there for not spamming.anything coming from a gmail address skips the junk folder and is automatically deleted.
With the dozens of things I use on a daily basis to fight spam, I have to say a basic v3 Recaptcha during sign up goes a LONG way.
Exactly!Create a virus, sell antivirus, right?
Please report them. Then they are invisible to everybodyI enjoy "ignoring" the spam users and refreshing the page.
It makes their posts invisible to me
