I can't believe that now every time I sign on to RAT I see spammers. I wish I could ignore them but I'm afraid they'll get my info since they are members and can access everything. I would not be opposed to more strenuous measures to deny them access,at least temporarily.

They have to sign up, and when they post we remove them. Jasper then kills the members himself.

The most sensible option actually seems to only allow members who have 10 or more posts allowed to post a link.
That way, it theoretically increases the effort of the spammer tenfold before they can post their links.

Ave Jim,
or just allow linking only when one has got at least one laudes point. Which means not only posting anything will be sufficient but posting something with an 'ancient' content.

Hi guys,
I know they're annoying. To tell you the truth, they piss me off too, but prevention is difficult. The best tool I have ever seen was a little piece of software that would check the content of every new post against a wikipedia page with spamlinks. If one of those links was in the submission, it refused to post it. Sadly, this does not seem available for phpbb2. It will be for RATv3.

Oh, Jim, yes, I knew of that way of spamming. That is somewhat prevented by the fact that you cannot enter a url for your profile on signing up. You have to activate your account and then add it in. It's something extra to do that's easy for humans, but harder for bots.
