Spam issues

Recommended Posts

We use to get alot of spam on our forums.

 

How we stopped it was by introducing a random number when registering and logging in which means we 1 bit of spam a month.

 

My wife runs a parenting forum and again we added a captcha to her login and again virtually no spam.

 

The |ABC| forum has 250 members and the wifes has over 10,000. So it works for any size forum.

I am actually talking about mygamingtalk.com forum :) We use recaptcha since day one.

 

I thought cloudfare would take care of the issue but it seems it didn't. Then I started using http://stopforumspam.com/ API and it's doing wonderful job.

In 2 days, 53 spammers blocked.

 

ReCAPTCHA was cracked probably roughly since MyGamingTalk was opened :P ;)

 

SolveMedia seems pretty good as an alternative :)
