Do not comment on spam posts please!

For the low number of spam posts, I don't think it's right to restrict all new members.

Once they mention the word 'kitchen' we're all over them like a rash.

Why would anyone post an ad on kitchens on a car forum?? I'm not looking for new cupboards in my Zed. :thumbsdown:

 

[Bad_Pritt]

I guess it is bots - pretty simple to can the net for forums, register a name and password and an email address, then post away - all automatically.

Perhaps including a simple Turing Test on email verification would work for members signing up - those funny wavy letters and numbers a lot of sites use ? Or are they easy for computers to understand now ? Can't remember if I had to do one when I signed up...

Might not be a bad idea to get rid of those a-holes...

I built and ran a forum for a number of years and spam was a constant problem. Most forum software has mods available to help but it is pretty much impossible to get rid completely. The main problem is a lot of the time these are real people based in the Far East so sign up countermeasures aren't much use. :-(

There's loads of them this morning.

 

[gannet]

and there were none when I actually needed a new kitchen :evil:

 

[Bing]

Those solid wood kitchens do look good though

I was fascinated by one where the URL was brassbogs... Bit cold on the bum I'd have thought...
