I get 5-10 spammers joining a day....and only 1 or 2 of those get to the point of posting something and I usually am able to shitcan their thread right away. I try my hardest to stay on top of it, but theres not much I can do to stop them.

Just dont click on the links.....thechaz, i hope your comp is ok....let me know if you need help cleaning it up.

Thanks, but they didn't get me, I just wanted to warn everyone else.  I learned my lesson on random porn sites years ago ;D

it powers on, goes thru the motions, get to the desktop, and then after a few a window pops up saying that windows needs to be activated. but i cant get online with it to activate anything so its stuck right there. my icons dont even come up on the desktop.

Of course I'm ignorant to what goes on behind the scenes so to speak . I though maybe there was some kind of extra step to make these people not even want to sign up . Your doin a stand up job Brad and all is appreciated . I'll just have to keep on smiting fools .

Brad  I don't know if you saw my post before you deleted the spammer post.  But what I asked was is it possible to set a minimum logged in time before the new member is allowed to post.  30-60 minutes should be plenty to keep spammers from hanging around.  Most anybody that is interested in the site will spend at least that much time reading before posting anyway.

I belong to some sites that you cant post anytype of url links at all until like 7 post or something like that.
