Stan Jensen Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 In the past, the spammers registered but because of the magic power of invision they could not post. Now we are getting 100's of posts that have to be deleted. Is there a good way to stop those again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Stridgen Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 It is worth mentioning, to make sure you are using all the correct internal features first of all. Please ensure you are using hCaptcha to begin with, which was implemented to assist with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iProxy Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) In this case it is better to ban the IPs by the HTACCESS (a few days). Then do a search for their host with WHOIS. If it is not Asian or Russian you can contact them by abuse@... by sending a copy of the spam. Edited April 24 by iProxy Stan Jensen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodle Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I was getting some last week and switched to hCaptcha like @Marc Stridgen mentioned, and not a spammer since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Get IPS to implement this: Akismet is extremely effective and costs nothing to use. It would be a win-win for IPS and everyone who uses it. DSystem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
