Re: Spam
How about deleting accounts with only one post?

Re: Spam
So after deleting all the spam accounts, out forum database size is now 163.66 MiB.
Just to reference the previous forum that couldn't be saved, on the old server it wasn't able to grow past 100 MB. By the time we moved we were at 90-something.
So the old forum was doomed no matter what. It's just a shame we couldn't transfer the posts, but it was a no go.

The old forum is doomed just because of spam.

Re: Spam
I just noticed something when I was looking at the members list. There are a few new members with zero posts that joined today. The thing I noticed was that all but two of them had their "own" website. There are also very few members with one post that have a website. Maybe something to look into?

Re: Spam
I'm going to have to start keeping up on deleting members that haven't posted in x amount of months and keep on it.
Not sure how to prevent member's from registering or identifying spam based off the website in their profile.

Re: Spam
does the forum require email activation? If it does, I would sweep the ones that aren't activatedClarence wrote:I'm thinking I should go through and delete all the users with 0 posts.
Thoughts?
edit: NVM, you already did a sweep

Re: Spam
Also, Remember back in the day when I would post a picture of the birthdays because like 20 of them would be spam, and then some admin would delete them? those were good days
