Guys, www.swedishsongs.de is experiencing major trouble because 4 of our new members have flooded the forum promoting some drugs and gay-dating sites. Affected sub-forums were Studios, Sounds, Vocals and Tech-Talk, and A Side Productions, Maratone, TheLocation, Planet Six, Meriola, Kinglet Studios, Lighthouse Studios etc. in The Songwriters section and even Members-only forum. We have to solve this and we need to ban those forumers.
Oh yes, how annoying.
I switched the registration to "admin approval" - so in the meantime we can clean up and I will make the CAPTCHAS stronger.
So the bots have a harder time soon.
Sorry for inconvenience
I also switched on a verification test
"Post count under which users must pass verification to make a post"
Until 3 posts we need to verify posts.
wow, those spammers were the worst ever!
thanks Turnaround for changing the registration and other verification things, hopefully that will prevent them coming back.
Thanks Rebecca!
We have this forum for quite a while now but such a flood of spammers we never experienced.
