The American Beagler Forum

All these spammers must be another one of those "President Obama" plots you like to talk about.

They are driving me NUTS! Every post I click on is one of them. They are logging on faster than they are being deleted.

I don't know why they don't use an authenticating code during registration like a lot of websites have. I don't know why they aren't IP banning the spam bots either. This is ridiculous.

I don't know why you aren't in charge of the world.


In any event, I've changed the spambot countermeasures to a question/answer requirement for registration, so I expect that will stop the breach for now. Thank you all for your patience and understanding. Well, most of you, anyway.

all that followed by 3 bot post...too funny...Need temp admins to clean it up. I dont think they can keep up with the post...lol it will all work out in the end

Might have to migrate all of this over to a new board altogether. The updates don't seem to be patching it. I'm banning IPs as I can catch them, but I think that will be a full-time job.

Ha Ha I feel for ya Bev its a lot to follow. Im just glad the board is here, met some great people!

Thank you boss! A few spammers and bots aren't gonna keep me from this great place.

It's better reading than some post ive seen lol...

Thats true Jude lol

As soon as I post this I'll be proven wrong, but I think I may have found the problem myself and fixed it. We shall see.

Bev's still the bomb

It worked. They are being stopped at registration again and they're piling up in the inactive list - which I can delete behind the scenes. They'll never make it to the board.

But this means that new LEGITIMATE accounts are funneled there, too. That's why it's important for those folks to email me separately with their user name so I can activate it before I dump all the spammers.

I hope so.

Look how many have tried to register in ten minutes' time. Imagine how many of these I get in a day:


Inactive users

This is a list of users who have registered but whose accounts are inactive. You can activate, delete or remind (by sending an e-mail) these users if you wish.
