Even the names look like they have been randomly generated though they use vowels and constants in sensible syllables.

Yep, looks like they are slowly figuring out our anti-spam system. Will look on switching things around a bit. Thanks for the notice guys.

Hey David here's a couple of ideas I dont know if it might help;

 

Get your programmers to do a search and automatically ban any poster under 10 posts (before doing this keep who you think is real...!! lol...) Then set up a different way for anyone new to apply for membership that requires a special approval code that is kept hidden and then when the sweep under 10 posts is conducted you cannot elliminate the true members with this hidden profile code.

 

 

or if checking their timing of their posting eg Bogus posts might be coming all within the space of a second or two...so ban multiposts from the same name that post within say a 15-30 second (or less) period and that have posts totalling under 10.

 

Just a couple of ideas.

 

All the Best

Hi, Thanks for the notice. We have been adding further anti-spam protection. We even ran a system upgrade today but still experiencing mass pm spam. I have lowered the daily limit for a registered members (except premium) to 5 pm's a day. We also had a link detector by new members to alert spam.

 

However, the problem is spam bots are now using techniques like copying a random post and making 5 posts to abuse the pm system. I am working on ways to prevent this as well. Thank you.

Something that would help (after the fact) would be a 'report this post' button perhaps? I don't think you have one of those but features get added so often I am not sure
