amazingkevin Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 we have three forum moderators but they may not have the delete button in their control. Quote
Travis Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 Sometimes, when a spammer is able to get beyond the security, they'll hit a site hard. I've removed and banned accounts and will probably change some security settings. Hopefully that will put an end to it. Quote
sullyscroller Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Posted January 3, 2011 Thanks Travis , I really got worried when i saw that this mornin , be nice if you had a program to send them that would melt their computer . I hate spam LOL Quote
Travis Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 This is getting stupid. I just deleted some very explicit stuff. I apologize to those who ran across it on the site today. I'm going to up my patrolling. If the spam doesn't stop soon, I might lock down the forum for new registration (they'll have to jump through some hoops before getting an account) for awhile. Either that, or I'll add Mod Approval for new member posts. I hope I don't have to take drastic measure. I guess time will tell. Quote
sullyscroller Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Posted January 5, 2011 Travis you do what you need just keep us posted Thanks Quote

Hope it doesnt come to that .. means more work for you and the moderators then Dont know why they feel the need to put their rubbish on our Forums if people wanted to see that sort of thing im sure they know where to find it!!

sullyscroller Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Posted January 5, 2011 Hey Travis didn't you change browsers recently , could that be part of the problem ? Quote
Travis Posted January 5, 2011 Report Posted January 5, 2011 I changed servers. I have the same security system, though. Problem is that it only stops bots from spamming. I think these are being done by humans. Quote
sullyscroller Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Posted January 5, 2011 i'm a computer dummy so anything like that is beyond my knowledge , good luck. Quote
