Yeah, I decided to come back.
The moderators can delete spam as well as the administrators, so with three of us it should be easier. A forum modification would be better though, as you said.The only way to fight spam is by have some active adminstrators which can delete spam posts as soon as they are posted... or install mods..
I can vouch for that. After installing textual confirmation on my forum, I get several emails per day telling me that a bot has been blocked from registering. Just shows how many spammers are crawling the Internet.I still see a lot spam bots posting everyday on this ***rd.
I'm Admin on popular proxy phpBB forum and i have installed a couple antispam mods and since then we never get any spam post. Actually the last *2 months not any spambot has bypassed ***rd protection.
The posts from spambot on our ***rd is 0&#*7;.
