Title: Spam
Post by: Admin on December 28, 2008, 11:47:37 AM

I've noticed some spam on the forum and it seem they tend to post in the first available category. So I've created the sandbox category in the hopes the spam will be put away from legitimate posts. Then I can setup automated banning and deleting later.

That sounds a great idea Nat.  Thanks.

I've swapped the IDs of the sandbox and general discussion boards. Hopefully any automated spam will go into the sandbox board now. Also people with less than one post will have garbled urls.

Deleted two advertisements this morning - one from sandbox and the other from general category. Also deleted the members who posted them. They had gmail addresses.

Thanks heaps.
