Spammers

Recommended Posts

Irritating. Nothing more, but still.

Wonder if there is something that can be done. Perhaps not. But can someone look into it? =p

I prodded Karawasa with some PMs earlier after asking someone else about the spam issue, not sure if he saw them or not. Essentially, the forums are using an outdated version of the board (by quite a bit), and when it's upgraded, it'll need two plugins that'll solve the spam issue:

  • >http://akismet.com/
  • >http://www.stopforumspam.com/ (currently seeing server error, which uhh... isn't good, but I don't see spams on the other forum I go to that has the protection)

Hopefully the spam issue will be fixed soon, it is quite irritating.

Unfortunately, I can't upgrade the forums to a newer version. But I have toyed with the mandatory security question and it should be harder to brute force now.

Well, I don't see any spammers, so... I guess it worked. Woohoo! Thanks Karawasa.

EDIT: Nope, there's spammers still. Less though. Any chance those plugins work without having to upgrade?
