Spam Problems - SOLVED
Zacharymib & Travislam are spamming the forum. Looks like a hack cause they've posted game related content before

Re: Spam Problems
I think the problem isn't the spammer itself but that his password is too easy and hacked

Re: Spam Problems
I mean captchas for each post. The bots couldn't solve the captcha. They hack The (too easy) password of some users und then they're posting spam

Re: Spam Problems
If you have access to the ACP, go into it-> forums-> userposts -> permissions...you should be able to set up post captcha's from there, but you'll have to adjust the settings for each section separately...hope this helps...dust-n-steel wrote:I mean captchas for each post.

Edit: i just noticed that i'm a little late with this post--by a few months...sorry about that... *facepalm* ...lol
It's better to keep your mouth shut and let people wonder if you're a fool than to open it and remove all doubt...
