Title: I Am New Here
Post by: theaptish on January 16, 2010, 09:35:41 AM

Hello,

I have heard some good talk about this website so I have been cruising for a while as a guest just checking it out.

Anyhow, I have just actually joined and hope to contribute something useful to the community :)

I hope that "General Discussions" is the best forum place to post this introduction in, if not, please let me know..

Best wishes

Hi and welcome.

What are your interests?


Do you have an Ebike? Or wanting to build one. Is it GM equipped?


Anyway welcome to here and hope you enjoy.

Leslie.

Posting spam on forums like this so the Moderators are kept busy! (http://www.arhservices.co.uk/GoldenMotor/emoticons/5_small.GIF)

I would say No, No and No again. (http://www.arhservices.co.uk/GoldenMotor/emoticons/8_small.GIF)

I seem to spend most of my time on this forum banning and removing known spammers like this one, which has just raised the total number of "members" banned so far to 1,182!
I really could do with a button that would ban them from the Internet instead of just the forum.  (http://www.arhservices.co.uk/GoldenMotor/emoticons/everyday_think_230608.GIF)

You need administration access to this forum or even cpanel access and install an anti spam mod to SMF.

The majority of spam is done via a captcha crack script bot hiding on botnet.

Yes script bots can actually crack the silly numbers we all muddle up when registering.

Email MX record check helps not sure about this anymore.

And question verification can be the most powerfull method to keep them out.
