Ask you something.

if he tells you then he will have to silence you permanently.
 
Those are spam bots... automated scripts that are programmed to log on and post thousands of spam messages.. viagra, cialis, jerseys, sunglasses, LV bags etc.

If it were not for the system of moderating new sign ups, the forum would literally be drowned by the amount of vb spam that is generated
 
Ok, understood. The reason i asked is because recently a siao kia by the nick of "lkjhgfdsa" suddenly appear out of nowhere and spam the forum. Pretty similar kind of nick as those i saw. Tough job for the Moderators! :D
 
Well impose number of post count reach then can create new thread or post live link.

Or

New member account is more than 3 days + hit a certain number of post.

Captcha is not that effective as 3rd party like death by captcha / decaptcha can solve the puzzle at a high rate.

Spammers love using PROXIES / Software like Xrumer to spam like there is no tomorrow...

Just my 2cents.

All the necessary measures are already in place. I can't stop bots from registering but it is easy to stop the messages from getting through. All get caught in the moderation queue and are deleted automatically in most cases.

All I need to do is to do a bit of manual clean up daily.

Some Bots are smart in the way that they will inflate their post count a x number of times then they will start spam.

Another thing. Your PM system.

I can't remember for newbie just join with zero or less than 10 post count can sent PM or not. Anyway example like the Warriorforum.com

MUST reach a minimum 50 posts then can PM. Otherwise the newbie could only PM to Moderators or Admin :)

Additional note : On top of that, new registration could be also put in moderate queue. Some forums require the admin / mod to MANUALLY approve the new account. I guess it must be related to checking of IP address. But then this will take up lots of time and also i assume that most of the sammyboy members are Singaporeans. So Banning a certain range of IP address might not work.
