Re: Anti-Spam Plugin Installed
Good idea. Not sure if this version of VB has a plugin that can inspect the number of links. That would be good, though - perhaps limit all posts to 4 links or less.
I can believe the spam issue is just another reason to move to the latest version of VB. Meanwhile, we can play the game too.... |

Re: Anti-Spam Plugin Installed
This would work if rep was more readily given out by users. For people like me with nearly four years as an active user but less than ten rep, links would be off-limits.

CD was down for me for about 4 hours. Was there an update? |

Memory issue with mysql and some server monitoring software. Should be better for now.

Re: Anti-Spam Plugin Installed
Either I am not accessing CD as much these days (Cause finals are coming), or there has been a massive reduction in spam! Is it the recently installed plugin, SFS blocking these spammers or is it something else, like: Spammer thinks to himself, It's Christmas (Almost), so let me give Mr. Martus a break!

Re: Anti-Spam Plugin Installed
Might be a bit better, there is still a fair amount. Part of it is likely due to moderators quick response to reported threads.

Re: Anti-Spam Plugin Installed
I think that is is a combination of both. Both, the antispam plugins, and the user group, along with Mr. Martus are the reasons behind the little spam on this forum!

Re: Anti-Spam Plugin Installed
From a lay person's perspective, the level of spam on CD has gone down significantly. A much, much, much better experience overall, and just in time for kickoff! Thank you Brandon M. and the team of mods for everything you do!
Thought it was worth celebrating a particular success in our community -Mike |

Are there any other plugins that have been installed?
If there aren't, I think it is just old spammers who already created an account who are able to spam. By the way, Brandon, do you delete the spam users, or just the post/thread? Other than that, I have noticed that nowadays, very spam threads are going around. Maybe Mr. Martus is getting faster, or the spam plugins are resolving just in time for Christmas, New Years and Kickoff (Thankfully). Just for the sake of it, I still think that the occasional spam thread is all right if deleted a couple hours later because it allows us to grab a laugh at all the grammer errors they make ![]() Last edited by yash101 : 29-12-2013 at 23:23. |

Re: Anti-Spam Plugin Installed
Hi, this is my first post on this forum, and I wish to thank the creator of this forum for creating this resource. I am part of team 5064, and am trying to get my team to sign up. One of my friends on the team attempted to sign up for the forum, but got flagged as a spammer, he has sent an email, but from my current knowledge it has not been responded to.
thank you fro reading this post, and I hope this can be fixed soon. |

Re: Anti-Spam Plugin Installed
Has he tried from a different IP? Tell him to try a web proxy, temporarily. I think you should be able to log in with an account already created, from a blocked area. Otherwise, I think you could try making the account for him and letting him sign in and change the password.

Re: Anti-Spam Plugin Installed
Thanks for the suggestions(I have a feeling he was using a proxy at the time), but he has managed to get a hold of the forum administrator(?) and got an account.
