SPAMMERS!

Hi!

Is it possible to vet new members so the spammers are ejected (preferably into the vacuum of space!)

Ok this is getting really annoying now!

Im going to have to stop visiting the forum as its getting nothing but spammers! Maybe it would be worth setting up a new forum or a yahoo group or something like that with membership requests moderated...

I will keep posting stuff on my blog but visiting heres a bit too much of a struggle!

We have changed the settings numerous times, but they seem to keep getting past the security features.

Well, I've changed another setting.

This one requires me to 'approve' members before they can post. I'm sure I'll get deluged with the fake accounts, and Jay if you get the E-mails as well, just delete them. Let me know if it's too much of a nusaince and I'll change the setting back.

But, so far, they haven't been able to spam the forums. nasty people anyhow.....

Yep, thankfully, the spammers don't get through anymore.....Only because I have to personally activate them as members...

On the downside, new members might get overlooked when signing up. If you hear of anyone like that, or if you're reading this and would like to be an active member, just shoot me an email
