an idea for the forum

[thebanned1]

recently i,ve noticed that the spammers dont bother with thread replies as such in a normal way but rather they put the spam in their sig and then post so the spam is seen in the sig


cant admin give a minimal; post count before a user is allowed a sig ?

Sign in. Problem solved?

i dont think ur getting what i mean here, i'd say over 50% of the traffic this site see's is from people who are not signed in which plays into the spammers hands

Re: an idea for the forum

We need to get rid of the spammers instead of the signatures, but we need to be careful not to ban legit people who have a link to one of their sites hyperlinked. I probably ban on average one spammer per day, but I have signatues disabled so I could be missing some.

I like the idea, though, and it's simple enough to do. I just set it so members with less than 25 posts can't have a signature. I haven't had signatures turned on for years, so I can't confirm this. Someone please let me know if you see someone with 26+ posts who should have a signature but doesn't.

Re: an idea for the forum

a few other things that might be possible:

hidden fields on the registration page that automatically deactivate accounts that fill them in. Xrumer automatically fills in hidden fields when registering

a custom question on the reg. page like "who's diggers' partner in crime?"
