Too much spam

Maybe it's time to implement a more complex CAPTCHA for the registration process?

Do you mean the iPad etc advertising that often appears in the forums?



PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student.

I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out.
I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included.
Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.

Our current CAPTCHA is WAY too easy, you're right there's heaps and heaps of spam threads coming through.

Would this be more appropriate?




^_^
But yeah, maybe a different sort. I'm sure it'll get added to the to-do list which is around. Somewhere.

You realize that my computer could solve that in less time then it took to load this page. And that is not because firefox is a clunky and bloated mess.

But, I'm afraid our spammers are not human. Yes, we're being invaded by robots!

the boyface mentioned it can help putting a post count limit thing on. IE new members can't post links until they have posted a certain number of times in the forum?

Apparently you can get a script that will flag up certain posts for moderation as well if they are used more than a certain number of times in one post. IE Viagra, since a lot of spammers seem to try sell that even to me and I, being female, defo do not need it lol. I don't know if much of this is helpful, my fiance is a total computer geek and used to mod elsewhere lol.

I like this idea.

Oh, and mods I get it. I'll look out my window to see if there are any pigs flying past it tomorrow morning. First thing, I promise. It's on my todo list.

it was worse about a year ago before a few of us got james to IP ban a subnet from china

Mari I assumed the comment was related to Harley, as we all eagerly look out our windows for the pigs. Or for a Harley, which might prove to be more helpful :P

I think we all need to face the fact that Harley has been kidnapped by the spam bots.

I think one of my facebook friends has a dog named Harley. Does that count?

On second thought some of the replies to the spam are entertaining.
