Hi all!

I am really annoyed of these damn porn spams at our RACING/CRUISING forum. THIS IS NOT A PORN WEBSITE.
To the admins: cant u do something against it?
Its really annoying.

Just a registration captcha image on a forum I control reduced the spam messages by 100%.

Thanks for adding a poll........... sheesh! I mean c'mon. I voted yes. ~.~


We have image conformation control installed.
Because phpBB is a popular piece of software, spammers have taken the time to break the standard CAPTCHA via OCR. More advanced spam bots are able to read the phpBB CAPTCHA.
We have to get a mod for the new advanced spambots. Thanks illegal.

I'm actually deleting about 10 new spambot accounts per day. Last week I deleted the other 140 spambot accounts we had disabled. It also seems to me that the some of the peeps who are annoyed at this time are clicking on the actual thread and sometimes even replying to them. Do not open them if the title doesn't interest you ;-)

That's why I voted 'yes' ;)

(using FreeCap, not sure how efficient it is for more active fora)

You dont need to register, just go to the server, [CLC] CityLifeCrew Cruise , and play. Everything will be saved to your username.

Also dont use caps for no reason.
