Hi Guys,

I have added strong security to the site which is why up until yesterday no spam or robots have jumped on to the site. But it looks as though the spam bots are getting smarter and have countered my security issues. Somehow bots are able to post without even joining.

I am going to work on finding a counter to that. But in the meantime I am going to add some additional rights to my reps to allow them to delete a post.

If you see a name that you never have seen before .. dont bother opening the post.

You cant stop it Biz. The only thing you can do is somewhat contain it and delete it as soon as possible when they do pop up. It would probably be a good idea to have at least 1 person with mods rights for each part of the boards. That way we can get rid of those spamming posts in a hurry.

Surprised it took this long to be honest.

Yup. Commish and yourself have deletion rights, so between the 3 of us if any get in we can take care of it.

I have heard that from alot of people but i don't think that is true. I did some research and the amount of traffic this site generates should have had bots running around in here within the first 120 days. I have some agressive security measures/tactics in the mix. I think that if you have an admin on top of it, and god willing the bots dont upgrade their tactics to much ... keeping them out can be done. ""Don't hold me to it though, I won't make any promises on this area other then I'll do my best to keep them out""

As for our recent spam situation, I made a modification to a security code .. not sure if it will work, but I think I got it under control.
