The spam is getting worse.

we should get a better sign up system to block these guys.

I find myself on here 50-60 times a day and deleting about 10 spam posts every day.

I do not mind deleting the threads and i do get to them quickly but we should figure something out as it gets worse every day.

I can even set the system up but I am not the top mod here.

So whoever is the top forum mod let me know if you want me to do this and email me the admin password.

Or we could get more people to help delete them. I'd be willing to volunteer. I'm on here at least once a day.

Still, some kind of way to get rid of them altogether without making the forum completely private would be nice.

I think the easier answer is to only allow members to post and membership requires approval. As long as someone reviews pending memberships once or twice a day, it shouldn't be an issue. Chris? is this doable?

I believe the forum is already locked to members only posting, right? So you're right, just make new membership require verification and we're good to go. Maybe it'll take more than one person to keep up with the membership requests, but I'm sure there would be plenty of volunteers (I'd be willing to help).

Captcha's teh suk! I have a couple forum sites up and it helps, but it doesn't stop the problem.
