Emergency Spam prevention measures

Post by Big Brother » Sun Apr 10, 2011 10:54 am

All.

As a temporary measure to stop new spammers, the registration of new members has been disabled.
In addition, all of the most recent spam IDs have been deleted and their posts purged.

Thanks

Ok quick update.

Daniel is working on server access. I now have the ability to manage all user accounts however even with new users set to admin approval an email is sent to the admins and with about 30 odd users registering almost immediately so we all got spammed with new user requests.

So, user reg is still disabled. If you see any spammers who have registered before the ban just hit the report button and either myself or Daniel will ban the account.

Thanks

Well we tried enabling registration again but once again became over run.

So for the time being registration will remain disabled
