Banning huh ..
Well Delorean, Do you feel lucky? Do you? :withstupid: Ever seen those "Type what is shows in the box" things when your creating a new account of sorts? I don't remember but I didn't think it asked us to do that when we created our accounts. Can that be established? Or maybe trace the IP to check if its one of our members? Seems kinda random we would just get spammed like this. |

I administer a paddle sports forum for Northern Ontario (http://www.outtanowheres.ca) which is based on phpbb. I also delete a few accounts every day, even though I have "visual confirmation" enabled. Bots somehow seem to be able to work around that now
I've created a ban list based on the mail servers the bots are using for confirmation e-mail. I've got pretty much every domain East of Poland banned at this point :canada:It doesn't stop the flood completely, but has helped out somewhat. :cheers: kaNUK |
