***SPAM*** How to get rid of it!

Postby bkruse » Thu Jul 03, 2008 3:16 pm

Hello,

If you guys happen to see any spam on the forums (I know, it seems everyday it increases, I ban 2-3 people / day and remove an average of 30 posts :/ ), send me a message, and we will get it cleared up.

If I keep getting requests from people who can legitimately flag spam, I would have no problems giving you the ability to do so on your own (Moderator), and if you have questions you can ask me. (Of course, I monitor this as well.)

We got hit HARD on August 8th, before the olympics with some awesome pills that will make you an olympic athlete (laugh).

I am going to be cleaning these up in the next couple of days, unfortunately, phpbb does not have a "delete all posts/topics by username" function.

We are currently in the process of deleting all the spam (with a new in-house mod), improving captcha, locking new account creation, and upgrading to a newer version of phpBB.

These new mods will also allow people to flag posts as spam for moderators to look at.

After this new upgrade will be the point in which I may be assigning people moderator over certain forums that they frequent.

Thank you for sticking with us through this, it's almost over! :)
