You know, I find the new moderate posts settings are catching a lot of them before they post. I found 3 or 4 over the weekend, each trying to post 3 or 4 threads. That's a lot of spam the users will never see. It seems the big spam times are Friday and Saturday nights, with minor spikes weeknights in the wee hours. I really think you could capture 99.9% of the spam if: 1. All posts from new users were moderated until X posts are achieved. Keep X a secret and change it once in a while. 2. After X posts are achieved, keep any new user posting URLs or containing URLs in their signature on moderated status until Y posts are posted. Again, keep Y a secret and change it once in a while. -- Mark Lanctot Current: SB2, Transporter, Boom (PQP3 - late beta), SBC (early beta) Stored: Boom (PQP1 - early beta) Sold: SB3, Duet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61462 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
