Title: IHADAV8 Board Registration Now Closed
Post by: SuperSix on May 02 2009, 09:17:53 AM: Registration is closed again.
Too many spam signups - and I have not had time to put in a new CAPTCHA or mod to stop the spam sign ups. If you would like to join, or know someone that would like to, simply ahve them send me an email - I will get it done.

Once/if/when I install the mods, I will re-open registration.

Email:
SuperSix@Ihadav8.com

Thanks

Initially I had shut down registration doe the many, many spam account sign ups I was getting. Managing he accounts deletion, banning, blocking etc got to be a bit much.

Now - I reopened account registration to see how it goes.

We will see. In the meantime - if you haven't joined are community - join now!

And current members - feel free to encourage new members to join.

Thanks
Mark S.

Is that the one where you have to type in a word or two so that a machine cannot set up spam accounts?

Post by: SuperSix on May 20 2009, 04:30:19 PM: Yes, that's it. There's many PhPBB - specific bots that set up accounts to post SPAM, and this will slow them down if not stop them.

Post by: Recklessrob on May 20 2009, 09:24:30 PM: You should skip the captcha and set it up so that Zap gets emailed for approval. I hear he likes spam, spam and eggs, spam spam and more spam....
