A new mod has been released. It aims to prevent robots from submitting spam bids to your phpLinkBid directory (as some were getting thousands per day). Demo, download and more info can be found here - http://forums.phplinkbid.com/showthread.php?p=5019#post5019 Thanks, Mike
Thanks. Has anyone tried this yet? It seems we have hundreds moaning about spam each week in the phpLinkBid support centre yet many are unwilling to install a simple mod that should prevent it
Finally there is a mod. Mikey, will you install this mod for my bid directories? Let me know how much do you charge.
No. I only made it for 1.4 seen as most people are running that version. Its the only stable release, you really should upgrade to take advantage of the new features. You have two, right? $25? How does that sound?
I found that by blocking ips of the spammers have helped me alot ,in .htaccess file type Blocked IP addresses by 'yournameorder allow,denydeny from ipnumberdeny fromipnumberdeny frometc takes a while but at least it is long term solution ,generally same people are spamming and they will eventually run out of ips
So far no spam in 2 days, I'll let you know Mike if things change for the worse. Thanks for the free mod.
The forum is down at phplinkbid. Is there another source to download the spam removal mod outside of the forum? I could use it!
You have to pay to upgrade though I believe. I am using 1.4.2 and am happy with it. Is the phplinkbid forum DEAD? It has been down for days...
