SPAM issues

[Robert]

I am aware that we a lot of issue with SPAM these days but I'm doing my best to install new features to avoid an outbreak, and I will use this thread to keep you honorable members informed.

David (deif) as been doing a great job at keeping track of them and deleting the post even before I can reach them so I think he deserves a thank you.

Update Jan. 12, 2011
I've installed a new Spam stopper application and it should block spam bots from registering and posting. I will give statistics every week to see how effective this is.

Thank you!

So my words about ... I think you both are doing a great job, because there are only a few times where I see spam on this forum, and this means (for me): Moderator and Admin do a great job!

It's quite normal to have an increased volume of spam during this season. If we all work a little together and report spam messages as we find them, it should be easy to keep things under control.

Thanks for keeping us up to date mods and admin.

Thanks for the nice comments.
We will do our best!

Seems like my new spam stopper is working since yesterday:
24 new spammers were rejected and blocked in the last 24 hours.

Update Feb. 03, 2011
Since I first installed the new spam blocker, it as rejected and blocked 449 potential spammers.

It would seem that this is working well. Anybody had spam issues since mid January?

The forum from my usage is slick and importantly NO spam. Thanks Robert.

i saw two times spam at the blog and deleted them immediately. i think, the spam issue occurs only at the blogs. but over all that's no big problem - thnx, robert for the maintenace on the website.
