- yes, you now have to login as user to post to pages. Let's see if this helps, if not we have to change it even more strict Ktk

Thank you!! Daniel

I'd say it is not enough, unfortunately :-( Cris - 2005-06-14

-No it's not help! I Know just one thing that can help! I did it on my site! So.. leave one page for spaming and let them spam! Maybe it's sounds funny but they stop make a shit on all My pages!

-Well.. Hi people! I'm new. Nice to meet You friends !

- Anybody here, took a look at the userlist? It's unreadable.

We need to make registration harder for robots and so on. ---Prokushev

I visit this site everyday and I got fed up about the spam. I made an account and will delete spam as soon as I see it. The account systems needs ask users to activate their account through an email response like most web based forums. - Ronald

I am in agreement with Ronald. How much is all of the spam editing eating up in database space? Let's have the e-mail response system to cut down on spam. - Daniel 19 Oct. 2005

It's not enough. We need an admin to ban some range of IPs. - Ronald

My concern with that it may block a couple of legitimate users. Also, IP addresses can be spoofed so what is being listed may not even be the actual IP address. All of the Yahoo Groups I subscribe to that require e-mail verification haven't had the spamming problems unlike the Yahoo Groups that don't. Also, as the spammers keep jumping IP addresses eventually so many will be blocked that legitimate users will be blocked. E-mail verification just sounds easier for the long-run. Just my 2 cents. - Daniel
