Re: Sneaky Spammers

I'm going to bump this thread a bit, since the problem seems to be returning a bit.

A bit of Googling yielded this mod for the version of vBulletin that CD is running that can block links in signatures of users with under X posts:

I don't know if it's something that's worth pursuing, but fixes (other than playing whack-a-mole) are out there.

Re: Sneaky Spammers

I'll be interested if someone posts a helpful solution to preventing spam and then turns out to be spam. At the rate the spammers are evolving, it won't be long until this becomes a reality.
