anti-spam
Hilly-of-the-Marshes:
i know there must be some anti-spam on here, but i'm sure every week there's a new spambot around
in general the forum's very well maintained and the work of those maintaining it is well appreciated, but i think all would like it if the anti-spam were upgraded, as much as we all love the adverts for quality fake handbags and "adult" toys.
not complaining, just wondering whether it's conceivable to up the protection, short of human verification on every account
webmaster:
Yeah its dead annoying... we have done it so that emails need to be verified and also added the verification string. I am hoping once we have the new PJ site sorted we will do something more web 2.0 for the forum too and perhaps look at an alternative software thats more easy to upgrade etc
Locky:
What Naz says is true.
There isn't an anti-spam system as such. It's just when you register you have to identify the letters in the box and click a confirmation link in an email.
With sometimes 20 new members a day, doing manual approval just isnt practical, especially for the amount of spam we get which compared to some forums isnt that much really.
Mibsportler:
