Fucking Spammers!
Everyone-
If you see spammers hitting this forum, report them. Don't just post laughing at them. You can laugh all you like, but we find more spammers through reported posts than through any other means. Thanks.

Yeah the past 2 weeks I swear I've banned at least 10 different spam accounts here. I'm hoping this is just a seasonal thing (spammers back from thanksgiving vacation???).

I am starting to IP ban them too, and disallow proxies from accessing the forum.

On multiple forums I own this is becoming a huge problem and all my mods are getting fucking pissed. I wonder whats been fueling this lately. Even with captcha on they are still spamming hard.
Maybe someone has a way around captcha now? |

1) Make sure you have email verification turned on, as well as Captcha (even though it isn't full proof). 2) Set your forum to notify you via email when someone joins. This has aided me in weeding out spammers very quick since I am working here all day at my email. you can detect a spammer 80% of the time once you get used to seeing the trends (user name structure, @emaildomains.com, etc.). 3) Before you completely delete/ban/prune a spammer, see what email address they used. If it is something like joeblow@buygreatdrugs.info then, add buygreatdrugs.info to your admincp>user banning options>banned email list. Do this every time otherwise you will contonue to allow those spammers/bots to use that email domain. Here is a starter list for you if you like: Quote:

Agreed... But if there's a problem then there's a need to fix that problem

Good points creationation.
I also just installed this for my mods and staff: QUICK BAN in postbit_legacy for vB3.6 - vBulletin.org Forum Not a complete solution or anything but makes the banning process a few less clicks.
