Title: For the forum admin - spammers
Post by: aoqw76 on April 03, 2015, 02:55:43 pm

FYI I run a forum which also uses simple machines, same as this one.
I recently installed "cleantalk" which has (so far) completely kept spam at bay.
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3851
Not sure if it's compatible with this version of smf (you're running 1.1) - definitely works with latest 2.0.x version.
Prior to that, I used "stop spammer" http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1547 which also worked well against spam bots, but isnt so good for people logging in and posting manually.
hope that helps.
regards, Robert

Every time I see a SPAM post, I just click the Report to moderator link to report it.

Sure, I do the same, but whoever has access to the smf control panel can install one or other of those 2 mods and reduce spam considerably.
With cleantalk, I have significantly reduced the spam that does appear.
