Hi,

 

"Thanks for granting access to this site"

 

Yeah, should have been automatic, but due to massive amounts of spam accounts I am forced to manually verify new signups.

 

Anyway, welcome.

 

Sanuk!

I have noticed when browsing the Board In "Forum Mode" that most of the time 50% of the members online are in "Validating" mode and the majority seem to be of Eastern European bases.

 

I am not a Geek who runs a statistical analysis (actually I am but please don't tell anyone) but if I can spot a trend of spam then surely a simple algorithm could weed out the wheat from the chaff so to speak and reduce your workload.

Hi,

 

The board already does that. I just go in every day or so and delete a whole bunch of banned accounts. Doesn't take more than a minute or so.

 

Saw that the latest version even allows you to even prevent known spam addresses from registering at all. Would be even easier, but we just upgraded.

 

Sanuk!
