Still getting spammed...
August 05, 2009 04:23PM
Hey, kudos to the guys that keep this forum alive - I know it's a lot of work.

Unfortunately, the spambots keep getting through - I use Google Reader to keep an eye on the activity here, and I'm still getting about 10 spam posts (all from the same bot apparently) to every real post. Most of them seem to be in the regional forums now. Any way we can keep them out?

Thanks!

Wade

Since the software update I no longer see posts to old topics on the RSS, only new topics, so it is nearly all spam as you say. Does anybody know of to get an RSS feed that includes all the posts. It is far too laborious using the forums directly since it was split into many.

Hi nophead, you must add the replies trigger to the feed.php like this:

[EDIT]
Wade,
MysteryFCM
made a phorum plugin that includes the most (i think) 5 recent KnownSpammers lists to check IP, email and username against the poster.
If it's implemented yet, I don't know.
But something WAS implemented lately... since it's better than before winking smiley

Maybe we'll get an update on that
