    What better way to test/refine? And I doubt they would be very successful. ;)

    and not a single spam submitted made it through. p0w!

    check the pending links is all that needs to be done. try some spam, then submit a REAL submission. you'll see what gets in and what doesnt.

    yea, it's going to be hard to refine it, when nobody can get in it hahaha

    ;)

    Strange i just submitted some spam to your directory but now you in a dilemma as your directory accepts submissions with out having to pay even though they require payment so your still have to manually check the links to be sure just in case you dont delete an actual paying customer :D good luck in finding it as it wasnt your normal spam link :D

    also it seems your sig link needs to be updated none of your directories have that pg rank they are in fact a lot lower ;) must of happened in the last update eh :D

    Nothing is 100% secure unless its running on a pc not networked locked in a concrete bunker guard by loads of men with big guns and even then its not safe :D

    you could try phplynx for free and i think your find it an excellent choice its a bit more secure than the one being talked about ;)

    Is that what your little brain tells you? hahaha guess again e-bud-e.

    ummmm, all of the directories in my sig are in FACT the PR which resides next to them. I wonder how many people are going to laugh at you for this comment alone.

    Yep, because phpLD is so widespread now, a lot of people have tried to find methods for spamming phpLD directories, but we keep getting better and better, and have given directory owners the tools they need to fight spam.

    i write my own tools.

    what was provided didn't work, and i even removed it from one of the directories i worked on, replaced it with my MOD, and guess what, 0 spam.

    I will just give these points:
    1) We get very few complaints of automated spam from 3.1 users
    2) My own directories do not get spam, especially the automated variety
    3) There are multiple published methods on the phpLD forums for slowing or stopping spam

    There are considerations like:
    1) Do you only want to stop automated submissions?
    2) Are there certain domains, emails or words you want to ban?
    3) Are you banning good submissions with your spam control?

    If someone has found a perfect solution, I would like to meet that person, because there is no such thing as a perfect solution, but there are many ways to reduce spam, and we have spent a lot of time helping in this area, and we have also received lots of help from phpLD users who found their own methods, and published them to help others.

    Good, I'm glad you worked out an arrangement with Anon as well.
    As you said, he knows his was around phpLD very well.

    Do not get auto submissions and lot of spam with both: 3.1 and 3.06. Think my own presubmit form helps it too.

    hehehehe...
    True there is no perfect solution, but rob has a solution that works and one which saves a lot of time :)

    If you havent by now, u should take some time out to Meet Rob in person :)


    Spam doesnt have to be only auto submitted ones.

    there are those submissions which are simply crap/spammy and take a lot of time and effort to just remove them.

    Rob's mod helps save that time and u dont have to worry spending the time removing them :D

    Exactly, I had one person submitting 20 to 30 times a day and there was nothing I could do about it, now I have zero, also have a nice configuration in admin CP,this mod has freed up at least 30 min a day for me, I wish I had found it earlier;)
