How to Stop spam Submission?

hi, its seems going out of control now. i used to get spam submission about 10 to 12 per day.
but now last couple of days, im getting 100 spam submission per day.
So my question is, how can i stop it? i'm using 2.2 version.
its california directory in my sig. please help. thanks

 

Go for v3.2 --
I had similar problem.
But no spams after sifting to phpld v 3.2

 

Very simple, just get Spam Guard

 

increase the minimum description for each link submitted. Make it 200 characters. It works for me.

 

Do you use captcha?

Also, a small thing I added here really does wonders:

I've put a little field at the bottom where you have to add two numbers. Since I added it I've got no spam. Before that I was receiving a lot!

 

We have a spam filter from Rob, that did a great help.

 

What you mean by this spam submission ?

And why can't you use captcha or other questions like : " What you read ' digitalpoint ' in reverse order ? "

 

Well there atwo kinds of spams a directory can get

One is by contact form and sent to your mail.
Other ofcourse by submit page wherein you get spammy submissions.

If it is spammy submissions then you may want to contact an0n. His spam guard is pretty cool. If it's option one...then...i am yet to see a fool roof mod/technique for stopping spams.

 

Providence : that 200 description is a crap solution

I hate when i submit a site and i have a description 150 (that's the usual lenght of description i use) and a dir ascks for 200 minimum

 

I also concur with the others on getting an0n spam guard its the best for stopping spam

 

Thanks all for the advice, no i didnt use captcha, caz most of people dont like it when submit their sites. but i think i have to use it as i get lots spam, thanks all
