Off topics section- SPAM!

Post by plasphil »

The 'Off Topic' section seems to have a vast number of adverts for Viagra!

Good work, mate. It makes it a lot harder for the spammers when there are 3 moderators (Paul, you and myself)

Maybe you should try changing the board settings so that every message needs to be approved - see how you get on. That's what we do on our yahoo group.

As an admin, I guess you have to weigh up whether you would spend more time clicking on the good posts to approve them, or tracking down the spam posts and deleting them.
