rogerroger Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I have been posting here pretty regularly since 2007 and the spam has gotten to a ridiculous level. All the current and informative posts are being pushed into obscurity due to countless rubbish posts by spambots. I don't know who has contact with Ian, but I think we need more mods or an upgraded version of vbulletin. A little spam is life, but it starting to impede the function of the forum IMHO.

NeuroPreMed Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I think this has been posted many times haha, but it's a simple fix, set up a CAPTCHA and 90% of the bots would be gone. But someone has to find Ian first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But someone has to find Ian first. He was found - and plans to update things as I understand it soon! ha - when one of us in on call things spin a bit out of control spamwise (this time that was me). I will try to clean it up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trivial (I am actually a software engineer) but only Ian can implement it on the server so we just have to wait for him to get around to it.
