They're computer programs, they have no morals or ethics. :(

But I've now activated the word filter to block several of the URLs they normally post. Hopefully that'll stop them. *crosses fingers*

See, but now I don't know what was so funny.

Oh wait, it was a spam post in a thread about spam. :lol:

Maybe you should ad captchas? They usually reduce the number of spam posts. The ones from recaptcha are the best in my opinion -> http://recaptcha.net/

The spam invasion of 2006 was stopped when I upgraded the forum from phpBB2 to phpBB3. :)

I don't know why we're starting to get an influx of spam again. :(

Okay, now I'm getting annoyed.

I'm sure I have better things to do then track/report spam and Yasmine or Anitrain have better things to do then flush accounts and delete the spam.

Although, for a short time there, we were spam free, thanks to a software change.

It may not be nice, but these steps may be necessary to defeat the spambots.

The most drastic measure is to close account registration.
Obviously, I don't favor this because it prevents new members from coming.

The second and more moderate approach is to have a human moderator review the account and actually communicate with the person involved before allowing access. A spambot would not be able to answer live or mail questions.
