spam

[Telide]

seems we are the latest victim of spam with at least 4 posts in the past few days in the Albatross Airlines forum

all seem to be made by guests

Hope to see a fix when the admins have time

EDIT: I have logged out and checked all other areas for possable problems the only other area I can find is the skylines catagory allows guests to post

is there anyway to block his ip? it seems deletion isnt working very well

[Telide]

I am starting to wonder if this spam problem is going to end anytime soon as it seems little or no effort has been made to resolve this i the simple task of deleting posts and revoving guest posting rights in the relevent forums

ok now they are starting on other Va's forum...

wolf airlines has one now...

cant we track the ip addy and then block it?

im now seeing if i can lock out my airlines completely because it will be just a matter of time...

These are real people putting in applications and then spamming. All we can do is ban them and their IP, however we have to be careful as when we ban an IP, many people use dynamic IP's so we have to be careful that we don't then make others unable to access the forum.

As it is, Albatross is a defunct VA, so their forum needed to be deleted anyway.

ya i was wondering why it made it through the cleanout... figured the spam is what kept it alive

Thanx Chris for removing the offending posts

As stated in my first post

EDIT: I have logged out and checked all other areas for possable problems the only other area I can find is the skylines catagory allows guests to post

posting permissions may need to be changed in there befor we have the same problem again

Thanx
Will
