Anti-spam suggestions.

    Any one else notice spammers have been invading the boards over the last few days? It might be a good idea if possible to add a few more anti-spam things.

    No Recent Blog link until you got 10 posts. Case in point. There's a free back-link! If that can't be done maybe a nofollow tag until the member has 10 posts, just so it only stops n00bies from getting crawled.

    Require new members to make one post on the introduction board before they can post on other boards.

    No signature, Recent Blog link, or links in posts allowed as soon as any one hits the red! Or a nofollow tag added.

    Got any other ideas? Post them.

    A good suggestion would be to use the "Report Post" option when you see it. :)

    That's much better than people posting in the thread that got spammed (because the spam posts will be deleted and whoever posts about it will look like they are talking to themselves).

    Amazing how they always come around at this hour. I have noticed it for several days now, what the heck is happening? Where are they coming from? People posting all kind of crap on threads that are 11 months old...

    Good thing is that sitetutor is around also at this time, a simple cick on the "report post" icon and it gets dealt with.
