BOOM 8,810 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Have we been particularly unlucky lately, or is there a possible reason we've been getting more then the usual amount of spam shit lately? Just noticed the increase in the amount of posts I have to delete. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/15792-so-much-spam/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Admin Will 4,662 Posted December 25, 2014 Senior Admin Share Posted December 25, 2014 More than usual. Quite strange that accounts are getting created and validated, even with a capatcha and a question.

gorlab 4,321 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 It's SHL members that I'm paying SHL money to create accounts and lower the quality of posts on the VHL. Checkmate Blue Team.

Senior Admin Will 4,662 Posted December 25, 2014 Senior Admin Share Posted December 25, 2014 Step 1 would be ban the current accounts before they get 5 posts..... http://www.vhlforum.com/index.php?/user/777-welchdicy/ Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/15792-so-much-spam/#findComment-167180 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendrick 4,741 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I have a question, does this site offer a "First 5 Posts Validation/Moderation" feature? So that if a person posts it does get posted on the board but goes to the Mod box where a mod can approve it. Basically prompting moderations to check the notifications when they sign in.

Admin Victor 11,009 Posted December 26, 2014 Admin Share Posted December 26, 2014 That would be unwise since many members' first threads are their player creations. Could scare them away. Not that I know if that's an option. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/15792-so-much-spam/#findComment-167302 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lere2001 90 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Just ban the account upon their first spam. No reason that one account should get away with 3+ spam threads.

JardyB10 4,868 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I think I curbed the registrations by adding a couple more security questions yesterday (fingers crossed). We only had 14 yesterday (as opposed to the usual 50ish), and none today so far. Good things! In general the board might be due for an update of some sort. I'm afraid to touch anything though in case I break something. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/15792-so-much-spam/#findComment-167476 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorlab 4,321 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Clearly all of these bots are coming to view Frank's Christmas banner. The timeline is too perfect. It must be removed from our mortal eyes and stored away in safety, in case we ever need it one day to restore an inactive VHL.
