Neighborhood "spam" Watch - msharrow - 01-13-2012
Hey guys, as most of you know we have been having a bit of a problem with spam lately. If you guys would not mind, if you see some, while browsing threw the forum, please report it to one of the MODs. I am trying to weed it all out, but sometimes a few slip threw the cracks. With your help, we can keep our beloved forum clean. Thanks guys.

Do we use any security measures to stop spam bots? For example the boxes that asks you to type in a random set of characters?

Nope, people just register and we have to decide whether to approve them. Might be a great idea though.

Def something to think about. It would prob cut back on most of the bots.

I know at one point we were trying to get a captcha thing in place, not sure what happened there, be a great time to go back to that idea, but until this works awesome, good idea Mike!!
