Hi folks,
Pete - great catch! My thanks! As well - even if you have an e-mail about a PM as Pete indicated, that PM has been deleted from all your PM boxes, the user banned and the IP address and mail domain banned as well.... Anyway, while I'm trying to get sorted to leave tonight/tomorrow - I'll try to get some code in place that:
Since it appears these are SPAM bots joining - and then just sending out PMs - what I'll do is set it up this way....
Folks can register.....
Folks need to make at least one post in public (which the SPAM bots don't seem to do);
After one post - then they can PM....
However, that being said - it WILL effect a number of legitimate and currently active users who are registered, have not posted - and are sending out legitimate PMs with their questioins.
Soooo - I sort of need to be around (and not in Haiti) when I do this, OK??
Not sure why - out of all the forums I run (and most are much larger) what is attracting the SPAM bots to only this forum??
Have a great day!
John
