Yeah, nice call on admin approved registrations only. That should stop the spam for now.

I just went through the recent posts and it looks like you only missed one spam post. It's the last post in this thread by SlinnaFar:

I also changed the security question to a math problem. It seems to have stopped spam in it's tracks

Just found a couple more spam posts:

http://dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewtop ... =11&t=4102

http://dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewtop ... =11&t=4101

These are the two members that posted them:

Suisellva
Nisadfksdss

They both joined before your new spam prevention tactics were implemented.

posting links to the spam in here won't really help, thanks anyway though. just flag the posts and we will delete them.

I don't think you understood him correctly. He means you can just click the "Report this post" button in the bottom right of each post (The [!] button).

Thanks for pointing that out Gary, I didn't even notice that before.

Yeah, i have reported them and it wasn't till a long while after they was finally deleted.

so i figured on posting links to them here if the chance they get pushed down, and for them to get noticed.

it was before that whole spam attack i found quite a few un noticed spam posts in some user topics and some spam topics.

I have been a mod before at numerous other forums so i know the motions. posting the links here doesn't hurt but to raise awareness of them.

i have to go thru all the post to find new span anyway. so when you post links in here its useless to me. it just makes this one more thread to check the new posts in, instead of helping, it slows me down a little.

A lack of subtlety...

Sometimes even mods suffer from it...
