Spammers

[tylera2012]

ok i know this aint a member thread but i want to discuss what on earth is going on here. Who are all these people like "ination"? They keep spamming totally random crap unrelated to paintball or anything of the sort. lets keep our eyes out for this stuff and write the names down for Jason so they can be blocked or sumthin

I'm working to get all of this resolved. Unfortunately the current style we have set up for the forums doesn't allow the latest security settings to prevent spammers. Most of these are bots that just register and then post annoying crap all over the place. I've been deleting the accounts as soon as they show up, but every once in a while one gets the chance to have their spam posted for an hour or two until I catch it.

If you see this stuff, please don't click on any links. Just ignore it and it will disappear as soon as I see it.

so the forum doesn't support the capcha registration verification?

[Xaber]

It does... the Prodark style that we have set up on the board does not support the latest CAPTCHA formats (we can set it up, but it doesn't display them correctly on the registration screen which prevents anyone from being able to register). Unfortunately all the CAPTCHA settings it does support have been long cracked by bots and spammers. PHPBB just released and update a couple weeks back that changed these settings, so I'm waiting for an updated style to be released that we can upgrade the boards to and still maintain a similar look. The other option is to move back to the prosilver style that comes standard with PHPBB, but doesn't look nearly as cool (Blue and grey).

I report 'em to you as fast as I see 'em. I'm usually up when they're posting.
