[Spam Attack] stopping spam

steveneserin

Hi all.. a quick suggestion.

I get around 30 spam bots a day which I have to delete manually, clicking individually from the applicants section. and thats not counting the ones caught by the spam filters I have in place.. so I have two suggestions.

1. can I have a tick all box on the applicants screen, or a delete all?

2. perhaps you could integrate with stopforumspam.com and have a button which sends the spammers details direct to them as a report for their databases. then the spam filters would have an easier chance of picking up the miscreants..

Ta.

p.s aside from that, awesome software.. many thanks

Yes, it's time for a new 'how to stop spammers' discussion. The old one died a bit and is on the second, third page... too far to kick. Here's the Url of the old discussion:

Haven't seen you around here before; welcome!

You can click on the 'Action' column heading to select all the checkboxes. It isn't very apparent, but it is something.
