It's getting sickening

Let me just start of by saying, I really enjoy the people who contribute on a regular basis here, and I especially am glad I joined here..............but.......................and here's my complaint


I'm getting fed up with the spammers

Spammer

I feel the same - I am hoping that we just ignore them - I try to ban them before they post and I am a bit outnumbered right now.

I can't think anything but dumb butt, when I see there post. I have tried to track some of them down. All I find is new post on many forums. CF

you can track them by going to your search and looking up free IP lookup and you can find their location easy - I've done it and then contacted their provider because of the smut they are posting - get them thrown off line

We run this plugin on our forums:

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=176481

It slows them down quite a bit. Not perfect, but catches A LOT of them a day.

Good to see you Jafo.

 

[Jafo232]

You too

 

[SilverSage]

We run this plugin on our forums:

vbStopForumSpam - known spammer lookup for new registrations - vBulletin.org Forum

It slows them down quite a bit. Not perfect, but catches A LOT of them a day.

We run that same one and it does stop about 90% of them.
