freak show Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 For the last couple of weeks we have been plagued by an especially irritating SPAMMER, and I've noticed that these threads are often around for quite a while. Is it possible to block this nonsense? Or wouldn't it be a good idea to have a few "SPAM-hunters" in the forum, who would have the power to zap this crap?

altair Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Looks like the user registration form needs a security update. Them spambots get smarter and smarter. If they can't register, they can't post. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floydpink7 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Maybe a "captcha" system should be put in place in order to register: http://recaptcha.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak show Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Something really should be done... Here are a few current examples: 1) A "creative" SPAMMER: http://forums.epiphone.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=12375 2) And our "old friend": http://forums.epiphone.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=12379 This guy just won't give up.

RobinTheHood Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 We need someone designated as "Spam Nuker". With SexyGibson having not been around in ages, maybe Epiphone should consider appointing another moderator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
