  • Anti-Spam thought

    I noticed a few spam posts today and it made me think of a similar issue on another forum I'm one. The Admin there added a simple question, "What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything?" to the registration process. He even put a little note telling people that were confused to Google it for the answer. By doing this the amount of spam on the forum was substantially reduced. I was thinking this may reduce the amount of spam we seeing here.

    we have something to that effect on the registration process

    Remember if "the" and "and" are spelled right its not a genuine Ahuhn post

      Yep. We have challenge and response questions asking "What car brand manufactured the G6?" and a few other questions like that. They're the best and only ones that work since bots can now break Google CAPTCHA easily. We also have a module that connects with a SPAM database that prevents known IP's that have been reported to the database for spamming before from registering. Also when I find posts from SPAMbots that get through I remove them and submit them to the same database.

                    Best bet is to use the IP and email resource that prevents them from registering. This cleared FPs problem.

                      Yea thats what we go going using SPAMOMATIC. Uses spam email and IP database. I think a few managed to sneak past our Human Responce before and are hovering around waiting to post. Once they all make themselves know should be in the clear hopefully. Happened a year or two ago same thing.
