Peeps, you may have noticed that blonde has been hit with a rush of spam, for various items and *ahem* services.
While some of the replies have been funny (honourable? mention to Smithy69), we naturally want to get the posts off of blonde as soon as possible. If you see spam appear please PM any mods/Admin online and alert them to it. Thanks to all that already have assisted with this.
The Admin team are looking at ways to keep the spam off blonde, if any techy experts have suggestions/ideas, please feel free to PM them to any of the Admin/Mods.

p.s I got in touch with the Russian girl. Seems very nice. Managed to buy a truck load of viagra too to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.
Anyone know the Rouble/Sterling exchange rate?

From what I understand "mature" and if possible a heart condition combined with life assurance are precisely the things that 20yr old Russian women are looking for in a spouse...... |

one way round it would be to prevent new users from posting new threads for a couple of days (they can still contribute to existing threads). that would discourage most of them.

They're easily bypassed, phpBB has them by default and it stops 0 bots.
I've installed some mods for my forum and they work quite well.
I'm sure there are mods out there for SMF too, I'll have a google and see if i can find anything that looks worthwhile.
I'm not sure I agree with not letting people post for a few days for a couple of days is a good solution for 2 reasons:
1) I don't like reducing functionality to stop abuse.
2) They can just come back after a few days to spam.

stopping someone from posting a thread for the first few days is not a grand idea IMO...new members should be able to post and get involved withe the forum from the start...get involved...that's what it's all about  |
