Spammers

[andyzee]

I have a web site that I haven't really used in awhile. Today I decided to blow off the dust and see what it looks like. There is a forum there and it seems that spammers have taken over. They write messages, they respond, they start new threads. It's kind of like watching the Simms game http://2skierz.com//phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=13

Hahaha... that's awesome, Andy!!

I keep waiting to see a post by a bot saying: "Hey guys, kind'a slow in this board, ain't it?"

That's good stuff Andy, at least the spam bots are good for something...

We delete the posts as soon as we see them, then we ban the user...

Yup. Thank your mods for quickly handling the spam we get. vBulletin has better anti-spam technology than phpBB as well. On SkiMRV and SkiADK (both phpBB) I have to authorize new accounts. Legit accounts are pretty easy to identify. This approach has kept those boards pretty much spam-free as well. They will both be getting vBulletin upgrades after the ski season.

That's one reason I started this thread, to point out the kind of stuff admins have to go through on a regular basis. It gets pretty frustrating trying to keep these out.
