Spammers!

Post by Genebaby »

As you may have noticed, there has been some spammers on the board.

I was just saying to someone at work this week that the registration process these days is great at stopping spam bots from registering.

Well, something happened and a LOT of PHPBB boards like this one have been inundated with Russian crap. Some a LOT worse that what has happened here.

I'm not sure how they did it, but I've changed the registration questions to see how that goes.

Promises made, crying in vain, all empty. Never accepting the blame and not letting go of the shame. A river of tears, as months turn to years, all wasted. On someone not willing to change.Now only a shadow remains! :(

Rick, they are probably all guys, even the ones who say they are chicks.

Be careful what you wish for, it may be nasty.

Thanks for the info, they won't be bothering you anymore.

Also, I think if you go into a profile and make someone a foe you shouldn't get anything from them. I think.
