spikeon Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 check out this site: http://akismet.com/ perhaps, just perhaps, if you could use that, then you could get rid of the spam, and let people PM at 1 post, like people who join to go to the freelancing, and then can't return provate messages.

trq Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 We don't like moding the board too much for starters, and this would actually require someone with time on there hands to create the mod. Put simply, we have rules already in place that prevent spam, why fix whats not broken?

trq Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Unfortunately there is not a simple fix to that issue. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/93657-how-about-this-for-anti-spam/#findComment-479861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I think the current fix is quite effective and simple already. Everybody can find ten topics to post in in no time.

ober Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 We're not the only board that does this type of thing. It is unfortunate that we have to do this to our members, but it's either this or get flooded with spam from time to time.

revraz Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Whenever I PM someone with less than 10 posts, I just include my email address so they can reply to me if they want.
