Oh oh, spammer spammer spammen

Any reason to block the shit spammers here???

validation email is now on.  Captchas would not install for some reason:

The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.

...such a pity  :'(

That is currently a work-in-progress.



I believe guest posting has been disabled and we're discussing options for keeping spammers from registering and leaving spam as well.  On my forum I just switched to validation via e-mail which has ceased entirely all spam thus far.  Hopefully we'll figure out a good solution soon.



Sorry guys for the inconvenience…however, on the bright side it does make for some interesting posts to make fun of.  :stuck_out_tongue:

@darkfrog: what about captchas? is tehre any reason for not using such things? (i'm just curious)

I never could get it to work on my forum either…that's what happens when you try to use PHP I guess.  :stuck_out_tongue:

as already posted captchas went fine over here (SMF 1.0.8 ) so don't give up!
