Heritage1 11 Report post Posted January 20 Yeh, I was wondering the same thing myself Vangelis, its getting really bad lately. More then usual. Looks like no one is Moderating the Forum, or there are some settings missing on preventing this. Its starting to get way out of control lately. Best regards buddy, ain't seen ya in awhile, hope all is good with you !!! Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProAvia 24 Report post Posted January 24 It seems that sometimes it takes a few days for someone to clean things up. Do moderators have the ability to delete posts and ban members, or are these functions for admins only? I wonder if there is any way to easily change the challenge question or recaptcha to make registering a bit more difficult? Anyone know if the IP address is recorded each time someone registers? Can users be banned by IP? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes they can be banned via ip also via username of course also by email so if try to reregister ban on invision forums is like a life ban you cant even get pas with a vpn i know because i run my forums on this same system Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nabeel 1724 Report post Posted January 27 Yeah it's insane trying to keep up. There's 3 different spam settings and they're still getting through... it must be some actual farm with people registering. They do get banned via IP but it's different everytime. You should see how many get blocked, though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shakamonkey88 19 Report post Posted January 28 It's almost a full time job for me recently. The reason they haven't been dealt with as swiftly lately is due to a job change in my life. I pretty much live at Heathrow airport working for British Airways these days. Sorry for the build up on spam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have a strong spam block with IPB, need to have the license current.I would get spam all the time when I let mine go for a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
