something to watch out for

Postby at1with0 » Tue Nov 27, 2012 11:35 am

My forum has been inundated by spammers I found out what software is being used to do it and what might be a good defense against it.

http://www.stopforumspam.com

I Won't give the name of the software here...I took some steps to block spammers and so far about 600 spammers have been blocked in the last couple of days.
