Or not. Again a dozen spam posts within minutes. Maybe you will have to disable facebook, google+ etc. login ...
-
Wow, fifteen spam topics in just one hour today.
-
Sorry for that :(. We may have to switch forum framework completely, but ... "there is never enough time/energy".
-
About a dozen spam posts from user azwqke84
-
Two pages !!! of spam posts.
-
Yes there are lots and it is consuming too much time deleting them. We will look into into it over the next couple of weeks to see if we can make it better.
-
4 1/2 (in words: four and a half) pages of spam topics. Should be a matter of hours to provide spam protection for this forum. When i read the opening post of this topic first, i felt it exaggerated. But now I fully agree.

when programers return from holidays
-
Hopefully it will get better now. We have added some spam protection.
-
@jacob... it seems, its not really better...
-
Well it is better (I'm deleting 10x less posts) but still not perfect :-). We will try more things next week.
-
By the way, you should also delete the (empty) spam related tags from the "Popular Tags" list ;-)
-
Thanks - i have tried to clean it up a bit
-
Should be a daily task then - there are again some tags to delete.
-
@jacob... is it really better with the spam?
-
Only a little :-o
-
Plus a dozen+ this morning.
-
Or maybe, you should change the forum-software. p.e. for phpbb there exists a lot of good anti-spam-plugins.
-
we may have to switch to "moderated" forum where the first comment of a new user will be revised (?)
-
If you check each first post, you will have nearly the same workload. Smarter would be a really working automatic spam protection. Such exist for standard forum software as is phpbb and others.
-
we do run spam protection and it detects these mesages, but does not delete them - it is a problem with vanilla
-
over 3 pages of spam whitin 6 hours... really to much to read the right postings.
And to much for me... Now, I'm away from this forum... Maybe I will come back in a few months, for checking if it will be better.
-
Today mornig there are dozens, maybe hundred spams.
I also suggest you should use simple-math-formula CAPTCHA.
-
using an RSS reader (like feedly) to catch up on forum discussion has now become next-to-useless for me
-
The dates in this topic now range from October 19 (top) to December 27 (my last). I'm using more or less latest Windows Chrome browser. The post date of this item however is displayed as today, i.e. 7:13PM.
-
You forgot to delete the 11 nike tags (under "Popular Tags") ;-)
Howdy, Stranger!
