Help cleaning up spambots

[Darianjr1]

What else can we do to help. Spamming is getting worse. Is there no captcha before complete sign up or activation email.

Werd. It's flooding the forums now, especially at night time.

edit: All of the ones that I saw just disappeared. Weird....

There are a ton from one in particular, that I am slowly working my way through to report.

Out. Of. Control.

What about adding a CAPTCHA to the signup screen? I'd say it's an option for vBulletin forums, or at least is should be.

not sure if we have tht option, but the admin went ahead and implemented several new procedures to stop the spambots.. let's see if they work

I think those new procedures are working effectively b/c I don't see those weird posts anymore. (Unless mods manually cleaned them up before I logged in.)

my inbox has been pretty quiet since last night haha

looks like it's working... so far *crosses finger*

Glad it's working! Spams... They're only good as "musubi", if you know what I mean.
