Well, apparently there were four spammers who hit us today. Thanks to you who used the Bad Post Report, Image Image Image Image Image it was very easy to clean it up and delete the spammers. I have added a couple IPs to the ban list to slow them down.

Again, thanks for reporting the spammers, you make it easy to keep the forum clean! :clap:

Tell me about it, those along with the 30 or so I've pulled from the list this last week alone. They are keeping us busy for sure, two more just now again.

New users from here on will have to match two images, instead of the Captcha text, which apparently bots have managed to get around.

Here's a demo: http://peoplesign.com/main/officialDemo.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks. It seems to be working, we have one new member and he seem like a real rider, not a spamho.

The new service is brilliant, I wonder how long it will be free? :) So, if it ever migrates to a pay option, I'll buy it or look for a free alternative. It's not really a mind-blowing innovation, just a clever idea that can easily be replicated and stored on the forum db if needed.
