Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted January 25, 200718 yr We’d like to request a new feature for the forums that would set post would automatically be set for moderation if they contain URLs or IMG tags. And that this feature could be turned on and off by group. This would allow us to set a group for new users of, say, 10 posts or less that cannot post a URL and/or an image with out it first going though moderation.If we had this feature right now it would mean 99% of Spam posts to our forums would never see the light of day. We have been getting up to a dozen or so posts per day that are nothing but spam. Some porn, some cheap drugs, some for mortgages, many in Russian, nearly every single of which contain URLs and are posted by first time posters.If these posts automatically went into moderation it would stop all but a few, and unlike just moderating all posts by new users, would not discourage 99% of our new users by putting there first posts in to moderation.
January 26, 200718 yr For the URLs you could probably just use Michael's Spam Protection mod.[mra]Because we
January 31, 200718 yr care to give the link to the spam protection mod? ive been getting spambots spamming porn with trojans lol
February 6, 200718 yr You'd also probably want to disable urls in their sigs. I notice that happening a bit more nowdays. Spammers post a joke and have their Viagra and Euphmore links on their sigs...
