Are you recieving 100's of spam submissions daily to your phpLinkBid directory? Is the following what you are receiving: Email: Title: uWEGhCerTPzXcpACc URL: h ttp:// loan. foryouonlyss. com/guaranteed-personal-l... Description: aKOXOVngwiIZBWmGC We receive about 400 of these a day to one of our directories. To delete these in one go all you need do is follow the instructions below: 1. Go to phpmyadmin 2. Click on tbl_links on the left side 3. Then click on Browse at the top of the main window 4. The rest should be self explanatory It beats me why spammers are making submissions like these? .
Today I am going to release a public free mod to hopefull prevent spam. It seem the CAPTCHA has failed. To delete all pending links in one go run the following query in phpMyAdmin SQL box- delete from tbl_links where link_status = 0 Code (markup):
@vicdigi: good tip The spammer doesn't even know that he is spamming your directory. He is probably sending these submissions to 100s of directories without caring about the time you are wasting in deleting these spam requests. @mikey: lol, that's a good mod indeed !!
Well, I ain't had any robot spam submissions - I have obviously received a few manually submitted crap entries, but who hasn't? In my case, if it ain't broke, don't fix it I'll be buying a new phpLB license tonight for somebody else's project, here's hoping you add the mod into the new download files
It's great that they can be deleted in one go. Nevertheless, a little time is still valuable time! What do these spammers gain though - a majority of the URLs do not go anywhere anyway! .
That's exactly what they gain It costs them less than a minute to set the software up to crawl+spam yet if a ten minute crawl gets the site 1 backlink from 1000 submissions then so be it, that'll be their mentality.
