The spamming pricks have been busy today!

I've just been struggling with time lately folks, work is just out of control lately.
Toddy, don't stress about it mate. I couldn't find an easy mass cull of the visitor message but ill just manually do it myself bud and moving forward visitor public messaging is gone.
In regards to spammers, they are registering with email addresses and they can only use one email address for one account and cannot use that address again.
It did cull it but they are relentless and still coming in.
Plenty of other tricks I can do. I'm not home for hours but ill knock this on the head late tonight or tomorrow morning.
Relentless little buggers!!!!
Thank you mods for deleting their crap too, gents, I would be rooted without you!!!
Ok, just bought out the big guns...lol
Just installed an anti spam program that blocks all known spam users, email, IP addresses, etc.
Its linked up with hundreds of other forums and they all report to eachother automatically and everyone is updated with the banned list, etc.
We tried this a while ago and it worked a treat but occasionally a member or two couldn't get access to the forum.
I have excluded all users who have 25 posts or more but I cannot exclude the general new members so fingers crossed folks!
Soooo I might get my early morning toilet forum time back? Yaaaaaay
Did you work out my reported post yesterday??????????????
Spammer inserting link into his post using white text colour so you can't see the link!
Case of beer from Andy's fridge goes 2...................Toddie
So far so good
Yeah theyre cheeky buggers Toddy, thanks for your help with the visitor messages but I got up at sparrows this morning and found out a way to mass remove them.
Majority should now be all gone.
I really didn't want to put this spam filter on here, I know it works a treat but I end up being inundated with members who cannot sign up and it does restrict some people. So far so good though.
