Can we do something about the spam? - zappra - 03-13-2018

Undecided

Does registration need to be tightened up? I'm seeing more new posts about buying meds than trading!

Working on it! Adding more and more captcha's, anyone else has a suggestion?

To delete spam messages, you need to be authorized by the forum administration. secure 4 or 5 people

As i wrote previously this is simply solved by changing the captcha method used for new signups:

Replied there as well with an update, it's getting a bit out of hand.

I have changed a few things in order to combat spam:

- I've enabled more captcha settings.
- I've updated the security questions.
- Dabbled around with some other anti spam measures.

On top of that: I've had a busy few weeks but will try to be a lot more hands on. The second anyone sees any spam you can always e-mail me directly to get the fastest response: ban-spam@mvr.me.
