More on the forum spam
« on: May 27, 2012, 02:10:24 pm »
I know this problem is nowhere near as bad as it, but it's still around.
I was wondering if anyone knows if the forum is using this list: http://www.stopforumspam.com/
There's an SMF plugin for it here: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1547

Might help clear out most of those that do still appear.

Not that I know of, seems a useful thing to have.
Australia is kinda awesome, but it's no Yorkshire.

i run a very similar system on a smf 2.x forum i host, works pretty well, but it is mostly the honey pots that are stopping the bots which are present even after registration, since i noticed there are a few bots that got past reg, but still couldn't get past the ones for posting.

i've only had 1 spam post in hte last few months, and im using a mix of 3 thigns.
