Stopping the Junk
Well guys and gals,
I just sent ZFactor a PM regarding all the junk that has been showing up on our website recently. I don't know how this can be stopped, but I feel it's time to start requiring more info upon registration. Anybody have any other ideas? I'd like to see a vote on this!!

It seems as though we have been getting slammed hard with the spam lately.  From all around the world according the addresses. I know this isn't a popular idea but what about members only forum???? Or maybe a more aggressive registration e.g. VIN number or something else related to the ZR-1.

Re: Stopping the Junk
Rest assured that no one dislikes spam more than those of us who must clean up the forum on a daily basis. Evey time a spammer is banned their IP address is also blocked to help prevent the same spammer from returning.
We do appreciate when you report said threads/posts, and make us aware of spammers using the PM system. One thing I would suggest is not to ever click on the links as it shows a hit came from a source posted here. That will only attract more cockroaches to the site. Also please do not quote their post because then we must remove the quoted post as well.

Re: Stopping the Junk
How about having the registration needing to be approved by a moderator?

Re: Stopping the Junk
As an FYI to everyone, we just noticed that one of the anti spam settings was not put back on when the forum came back up last time. Essentially all the settings had to be redone and this one slipped our attention. So now that it is back on we should see a decrease.

Re: Stopping the Junk
I'd go for anything more than we have now. It would be nice to see more information on who we are talking with, what they drive, where they're located... I can't imagine anyone having a problem with more requirements to sign up. I feel that would give this Forum a bit more validity than ... well you know.

I personally am not too upset by the spam as it has been pretty obvious. I do not think that a valid VIN should be necessary to join the NetRegistry Forum. I joined long before I actually bought a ZR-1. I agree that we should encourage forum members to fill out their profile. Jim |
