Hi all,
I have been hit with a very large number of spammers in the past couple weeks. They are posting mainly porn. There is so much of it that I cannot keep on top of it all. I end up shutting down the forums every evening. However, as soon as I open the forums again the next day the spammers start registering and posting spam once again.
I think that a moderator I ended up banning may have submitted my site to a spammers list. Is there any way I can find out how my forum got on such a list for sure and who is responsible?
Also how can I now stop these spammers? I don't have very much time to spend in the forums myself since I am kept busy with the main news site. The forums were setup to help to draw more traffic to the news site, but it has now reached a point of so many spammers that it is causing no one else to post any messages any longer and I may now have to shut the forums down all together unless there is something I can do.
I would appreciate any help and/or advice anyone could offer.
Best Regards,
Don
