This forum desperately needs some stronger spam filters from those spam-bot programs that keep depositing this filth around here. This forum get's hit hard and constantly. 2-3 times a day. I know that noone condones it or likes it any more than I do, but it can't be that hard to upgrade your spam filters to at least slow it down.
No announcement yet.

Re: Time for some stonger spam filters
I have no idea what control options are available but what about not allowing more than 2 posts in a day per IP untill the member has posted once or twice on separate days? ...prolly wouldn't entirely solve the problem but it might slow it down.Antec 900 case (4 120mm and 1 200mm lighted fans + UFO flashing light set + 2 12" and 1 6" Mutant Mods meteor lights) - Aerogate ll thermal controller - Asus M2N-e SLI - AMD 64 X2 AM2 6400+ - Corsair TX650 PSU - MSI 450GTS Cyclone OC - 2 X 2GB Patriot Extreme Performance PC2 6400 RAM - SATA 320 GB Seagate HD, SATA 300GB Maxtor HD and IDE 80 GB Samsung HD - Floppy Drive/Card Reader Combo - LG SuperMulti Lightscribe 18x DVD RW - Plextor PX-716A DVD r/rw - Windows 7 Home Premium 64

Re: Time for some stonger spam filters
There are some special spam filters and programs that someone with the know how (not me of course!) can install with the forum software to stop the spam-bots. It's not easy, nor do I pretend there is a simple solution. Just seems this place is hit ALOT.GIgabyte GA-990FXA-UD3

Re: Time for some stonger spam filters
I bet, those *******s have some powerful software themselves to do the spamming. Believe me, I am sympathetic to your cause, was just kinda curious if you guys were working to stop them. Of course, it might have helped if I had any useful info to help you instead of just posting this.........GIgabyte GA-990FXA-UD3

Re: Time for some stonger spam filters
Makes it worse is they are slipping by CAPTCHA also. On a forum I help admin we've blocked all .ru, .de, .cc, .tk, .cz and some other hosts and email. Shut ALOT of it down to 1-3 every few days from 5-10 a day. Then again theres an advantage to a site being specific to the US only. All events are in the US and with a few exceptions of past members who moved, theres no reason for someone from Russia to be on the site.
