Bear with me everyone

Do they not have to type in a cryptic code or jump through any other hoops to register?

We tried to get something like that set up but obviously whatever the admin setup hasn't worked.

do you guys ban any IP strings? On another site we ban whole strings of IPs based on country of origin...just best to go ahead and ban anything within a few thousand miles of China.

Or set it up to where the person has to be approved by a moderator or admin before they can post.

I am working on a couple of things but, to be honest I have no support from the owner/other admin and am trying to figure out a couple of things on Vbulletin. I will be banning all the Russian, Chinese, etc IP addresses. If we continue to have problems, I will move it to Admin permission required to register.

I apologize for all of the problems. Between work, school, and home, this is falling further and further down my list of priorities. That is not to say I am leaving you guys to deal with it, just that I am trying to find time to fix this.

David, a few spammer posts aren't going to kill our enthusiasm for the site. We can read around the bullshit!

I am more irritated now than when I posted that...apparently the owner has not given me "SuperAdmin" permissions so I cannot access the necessary options to ban IP strings or limit user registrations....and now I play the waiting game.

Agreed...

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Well, now that I've had higher authority as far as site administration for a week or so, it looks like we are finally getting a handle on the spam. I love being able to ban entire IP strings.

Damn I was trying to buy some jerseys and handbags....
