Anonymous posting is back up

Postby joel » Tue Aug 29, 2006 1:36 pm

I disabled anonymous posting for a while, because I was being slammed by spammers. I know most people don't want to register as a user to post feedback, so I put anonymous posting back up after adding a few security measures. I also deleted a big chunk of the forum's users that I identified as spammer bots. If I accidently deleted your username, just email me and I'll add you back on.

Hi Joel,

I moderate a phpbb forum that was getting a ton of spam and we installed this mod:

www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=210055

seemed to help a lot just in case the no link mod doesn't work (I see there already two spam posts although they're blank :) )

Thanks, I'll try to implement this soon. One of my biggest problems right now is spambots registering as users and getting past the scrambled text "anti-bot" filter. Maybe I can make my own human-test on the registration page.

Thanks for the help!
