Spam

[Tong]

Hi Stefan ;-)

Basically it`s not people, it`s bots, they just have forum in they`s spam base.

Here is very simple solution, works from 2002 year ;-), on mine phpbb board 100 % antispam, the great idea inside that mod, that you can use yours simple captcha images, so spam reg filter will be individual and nothing to tweek just simple images.

here is mine Images.

ps: You can use it with default phpbb captcha, but when you disable default captcha, spambots will nothing to do here.

ps2: You can even use animate gifs, it`s realy cool ;-)

I've put a new anti-spam method at registration for the forum, which should be fairly efficient, since it's much more flexible than Captcha.

Please point me out any spam bots that got through, so I can change the method it's using.

Right now, you have to type a word specified on the registration page, but I could do it several other ways if it's not secure enough :
- I could add a picture, and that could be the word to type to register (i.e: a picture of a horse, for the word "horse")
- I could have a question, and the answer would be the word

These options require to have a brain to make the deduction of what is the correct validation word, so they can't be broken by Bots. This is the most secure by far, and the way I will do it if the current system is still not secure enough.

What do you guys think?

I LOVE YOU!
really hard to keep following spams :evil:

Thank you fluffy i think since 2 days i didnt see any spam :)


ps: some people register with real names like "youtuber" "N-sam"
those are example of those who post spams too, are they bots?
because i saw that bots have weird names like "gsgrhhek"


Thank you Fulffy :oops:

Alright, apparently some spam still got through, so I updated the registration method, which should now completely defeat spam Bots (need brain to answer question).

Tell me if you see any more spam.
