All this spam crap is getting beyond a joke. I know you are working on solutions MAtthew but is there nothing we can do in the intrim to prevent these morons from stacking the forums with absolute dross?

just blocking russian alphabet would get us rid of a lot of spam. Can the message window be modified to accept only ASCII or something? just a blind shot, it's been ages that I tinkered with forum development.

We've all been spam blocked - eek.

Sorry I meessed that up badly. Should be all working now. Working on a spam solution too.

normclimb commented 8 February 20118 February 2011

Thanks Matthew. Good luck with the spam solutions too.

geeves commented 8 February 20118 February 2011

Good luck with the spam solution. What platform is this forum running on?

matthew commented 9 February 20119 February 2011

It's a bespoke platform, not an off-the-shelf forum.
