Some notes on Spam Control & New Users

[Morrus]

Is there not some vBulletin add on that would help reduce spam accounts? I would have thought that vBulletin would have done their own, or some third party add on. It's not like spam is unique to EN World, so there must be something out there?

There are many dozens, and we use many of them. Spammers evolve. The current one is one called "bio man" which currently isn't stopped by existing measures, although I am expecting a plug-in for it today.

I've browsed the forum before, but never joined because it seemed rather intimidating. With a large community like this, of course it would . But this is my first post. Introductory shtuff coming soon!

Shame, but I guess that's the spammers for you. They don't care what they spoil. Good luck with it all the same, Morrus!

Hmm...make them talk to me. I mean, actually give me a call and talk to me. I'll sort 'em out...

For a sensible fee, of course.
