Spam Control Measures

[toyotafan]

I'll figure out how to control the spam better moving forward.

Lots of spam on here, I've cleaned out at least 200 spam accounts today.

I cleaned up another 50+ spam accounts today as well. I'm going to have to block certain parts of the world.

Just upgraded the anti-spam reCAPTCHA registration form as well. Hopefully, that will keep a few of them from registering.

Taking more anti-spam measures today. The site might go offline for 30 minutes or so. Clear your browsers out if you're having a difficult time.

Can everyone see the website ok?

 

[toyotafan]

Just did some big upgrades on the backend. What's everyone think?

Looks like the spam has all but stopped.

 

[toyotafan]

There have been no spam posts in the last 24 hours.

I can see the site just fine. Thanks for taking out the garbage--it was getting horrible.

 

[toyotafan]

It was coming out of Russia and all over Europe and India, etc.

 

[toyotafan]

No new spam or spam registration attempts.

 

[toyotafan]

The spam bots keep trying but they're not getting through.

 

[toyotafan]

I think we've got it under control now.

 

[toyotafan]

The former spammers keep trying to login but we're successfully blocking them.

 

[toyotafan]

Anyone seen much spam come through here recently?

 

[kennythewelder]

Nope

They're still getting through the registration blockage, but not able to post.
