Fixing Spam in the Forums


(Nic Hubbard) #1

Noticed a lot of spam recently in the forums, so wanted to see if all the needed options are turned on in the IPB settings to prevent this:

Also, were the forums going to get Squiz branding?

Yes, we have all the spam settings turned on and the spam service typically catches 5-10 registrations that make it through each hour. But over the last few days, there are obviously new spammers that are hitting the network and it is letting them through; presumably for all IP.Board installs.

 

And yes, the forums were going to be Squiz branded, but we've been too busy to even think about it. If we ever get a free day, I'd still like to sort it out. I can't see it happening any time soon though ;)
