t700bes 1 Posted March 11, 2021 It’s been getting quite bad in the recent months despite preventative things like captcha in place. As such, I’ve implemented an approval moderation on mew users who are not subscribers. Only on the first post, once your first post is approved you can then do as you please! Hopefully this will help us with the spam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted March 11, 2021 good idea - will these flag up for us mods to approve in the same way spam is flagged? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Matt_ 32 Posted March 12, 2021 We've had 3 new members join this morning so will good to see what the process looks like to moderate first posts. We don't want to accidently prevent new users from posting/joining so I'll keep an eye for a moderation notification. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 32 Posted March 12, 2021 I deleted an obvious spam attempt this morning. Watch out because the spammers will try to brute a moderator account to approve the post if they can - I had three attempts and lock outs over night. Maybe a good time to change your moderator passwords and make sure they are of a decent strength and complexity. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair when i see new member names now i immediately think spammer, unfortunately Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
