Gatekeepers wanted

Ignore this message if you have less than 100 posts on this forum…

There have been a few bad cases of spam recently in spite of the captcha registration, so I’ve temporarily switched to manual approval until I find a better solution. It’s quite easy to tell the bots - fishy email addresses and long boilerplate answer to the “why do you want to join?” question.

I am looking for volunteer moderators to approve newcomers while I’m sleeping. Once you’re in, you’ll get an extra menu item to activate / reject applicants.

Thanks!

Does the software have the ability to ban by IP? Its probaly infected bot machines posting.

yep 4 guys in a row and all with the same reasons to join.
maybe i encouraged them by approving one last night.

#4

#5

Guess this means it’s a good thing we got in when we did, closed party!

#6

{I want to {see new threads|follow the discussion|be part here|see new additions|access all parts|contibute|say something|reply to a thread|reply to a user|message a user|contact a user|read everything}.
