new anti spam method - Ausbb

Admin · 13-08-2010, 09:09 PM

As you may have noticed over the last few days Ausbb - Australian BodyBuilding has gotten a surge of spammer posting. As a result i did some searching and found a method that hopefully will curb them somewhat

The registration process is a multi stage behind the scenes event new registrations will now be checked against a global bot/spam database.

If the the registration fails the user will not be allowed to access Ausbb - Australian BodyBuilding.

If the users registration is blocked due to an error in the database and the user is in fact a real person wanting to join all they have to do is email me via use of the "contact us" link down the bottom and I will set them up with an account.

It's a constant fight against spammers. It seems the more popular a forum gets, the more spammers target it.

Thanks for the update.
