What to do about all the spam in the forums?

Nothing?

We’re discussing the best approach for that, we’ll probably have to add one of those human verification tools, but it would be good to have an immediate temporary solution to block all this crap…

It seems that all the spam accounts were made in October 2011. You could try to delete all those accounts?

Accounts are blocked but new ones are being created. I have an idea to stop it, just need to find some time to implement it.

But the userinfo of all the spammers says ‘User since October 26, 2011’ (see http://www.rubysoccer.com/user_info/4248 for example)
Is that a bug or is the account really almost a year old?

Also, it seems that 4247/4246 etc are also spamaccounts. Shouldn’t be that difficult to trace them?

Or 4259….

deleted some messages and banned a couple users. this is definetely annoying, we will need to implement some extra precautions to stop those spammers. probably also give our admins a couple extra powers

appoint some forum mods ?

This is happening to alot of forums i use now, stupid bots.
