We have recently been under attack from spammers....the tramadol and such ads. They are going straight down the forum list and posting in the different areas. Just goto new posts, check the box on the right of every one of the threads they start and then scroll down to the delete option at the bottom. Delete them as fast as possible. Also, go into the mod area and ban them. give them a permanent ban. you will need their screen name for that so make sure you copy it. This wont stop them from continuing to post on this session though. They will continue until they log off. So, no matter when it is PM Emilio the guys name so he can log them out. Follow it with a phone call in case he is working on WSPS or whatever....then go back and hit new posts again and delete as needed til all his crap is gone. Make sure you get the welcome to WS's thread too.

Emilio, if you delete the account, does that no longer ban the IP address that we banned? If deleting their account makes their IP address able to log on again, leave the account with the permanent ban so they need a new IP to get back on......

This will be happening more and more often with more members and showing up on search engines more. Fight these guys off as fast as possible!


Thanks all and keep up the great work.

All, I will see about giving everyone access to Banned them.

One a week!!!! How lucky are you!!! Most forums get way more than that. I have the IsBot! mod installed on one forum and that is stopping several 100 spam registrations a day! On other forums I get 40-80 attempts a day; I also have the Check4spam mod installed and that capture up to a dozen a day on all my forums that IsBOt misses!!!

I would love to only have one a week.
