Spammers

[ddustin]

The craft tools are great, really great! All of you working on the projects are outstanding.

Sorry to sound negative but the spammers that come here are a real pain in the a##.
I find that I don't even come here just because of them.

Isn't there some way to keep them out?
It seem odd that they would think people would be interested in their products, unless they are doing it just for the links....

I've increased the "difficulty" on the visual confirmation. Let's see if it has any effect. And let's hope new users, who aren't spammers, still can get passed it.

Carl.
Sorry to be a bother about it all.

Another alternative would be to have other moderators with limited capabilities that could delete the spam.

I have a forum that is basically offline and it still gets hundreds of requests for new membership (I have it setup where one of the moderators has to validate the membership).

Thanks,
David
