    Hi,

    i am getting around 30 spam submissions daily, like thank you, your feedback etc which contain some links and html code in the description.

    Is there a way to block those? I am adding IPs to htaccess but that's not a solution. Tried to all the possibilities in captcha code but still passing through :mad:

    Anyone else having the same problem?

    phpld v3.1 blocks well over 90% of spam submissions
    maybe even more, very few get through with this script :)

    You can ban the domain's.
    And it's very easy to delete them in site sift script.

    I get a few running 3.0.6 they can be a bit of a pain - its as though they are some how coming from a forum or something... wierd. Anyways i just ip ban them and that seems to do the trick. I'm building quite a comprehensive IP ban list that ill probably release at some point...

    Hey Saad dude you are right on the money there the an0n Spam Mod is the
    'creme de la creme'
    We had that implemented by an0n and guess what it did
    'Shut the door bang on Spammers'
    The an0n Spam Mod coupled with v3.1 gives you a
    'Spam shut out'

    I'm able to delete my ip ban list completely. It really is a waste of time if you're getting the type of spam I used to get. Different IP with every submission, so why risk blocking innocent visitors because of a spammer.
