Post by GaVinci »

This is not really on the topic of s9y, but I was just making note of all the spam popping up on these forums... Just wanted to make the suggestion of restricting posting to registered members only.. just an :idea:

I agree. At first I thought it was cool not having to register but I think anyone who is serious would have no problem with registering.

We've tried that in the past, but it really lead to many users contacting me via E-Mail instead. Which I like to avoid :-D

I'm removing spam on a daily basis, this night was rough though. I've blocked the single(!) IP that was responsible for this. Some Rumanian domain.

Regards,
