A bit of an increase lately in the spambots coming through. They are a bit of an annoyance, but no where near as bad as other ones we've had in the past. I'd say I'm on here regularly (3x + a day?), so the posts/threads should get removed pretty quick. Plus I'm pretty sure it's only us mods who are after these special deals these guys keep posting about right? Feel free to post in here saying there's a new spam thread/post for the time being, saves us getting 10 messages about the one thread. Cheers -------------------- |

We are always going to get a bit of spam every now and then, still not as bad as having 90 posts by 1 bot or 6gc going down again is it?
Cleared the topics made by them, but if you see any posts in our normal topics I may have missed them -------------------- |

No, we don't have that sort of control, and cant see us getting something like that either. Plus it would only catch these types of spambots we have atm, not the ones who post 100's of times in our old threads.

Can he do a little notification someone is in the chat too? Mention it to him, if it's easy and doable...

Other I.P. boards have it set to where the first few posts by new members have to be approved before they can post freely. That'd stop it once and for all.
