simonb Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I and other forum owners I know are struggling with a new form of spam with members joining and spamming other members unseen by the board owner and moderators. I appreciate I could deny PM until a set number of posts by creating new member groups but this is a lot of work with an established board and I do not want any more member groups. Please consider adding a setting to restrict access to the messenger until a person has X many approved posts or has been a member for X days? Thank you.

Aiwa Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 1) Turn on the spam service... Make sure you set the different flags... I have mine set to nuke anyone code 3 or 4... Code 2's go to admin approval, and code 0's and 1's register... 2) Control your new members with auto-promote.. Don't let them use the messenger until they have X posts, or have been a member for X days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lase Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 How do I know that this is happening if no one has reported are there any signs I need to look for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code 2's go to admin approval, and code 0's and 1's register... I've actually been recommending people do Admin Approval for Code 0 and Timeouts when contacting the spam service (If I forget to renew or the spam service server goes down). That way you still have some defense until the problem is fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
