Spambots are still registering, but the manual approval of posts is working - somewhat. I'm not letting spambots through, but it is confusing legitimate users. Here a real user posted thrice... obviously the usability of the forums in this regard sucks, and they don't realize that they need to wait after posting.
Spam.
Re: Spam.
Maybe have a message at the "writing post" or "post written" pages for new users?Vadi wrote:Ideally, we would be able to display at registration stage. I'm not sure we can do that.
Also add a "forum rules" sticky thread, which will ask new users not to double-post. Example for comparison.
Re: Spam.
I don't ever tend to read the forum rules or the even "READ ME FIRST". I think I only read them after I fail to post. Which would still make people double-post...
Something on the writing post stage would be nice. I'm not certain if this software supports inserting a message in there though without hacking up the sources (and then this having to maintain this hack throughout upgrades).
