As with most forums Sparky Slider suffers from people registering just to post junk, usually selling rubbish or links to porn sites.

With the latest site update, the number of 'spammers' getting through the registration process has reduced but, it hasn't stopped altogether.

I've made some changes, that will hopefully stop the problem.

From now on, all posts made by recently registered accounts will be scanned for SPAM. Any that fail the test will be put in the queue for moderation.

So, if you've posted something and it hasn't appeared yet, it's probably just waiting for a moderator to release it.

I hope this works as it will keep the junk off the forums.

Nice one S1opp, some of those porn ad's where a little.....vulgar.

Time and place and all that.

Just been testing it out and it seems to work.

Hopefully the newbies will understand if their posts get delayed while they are moderated, this is a family show afterall!

:cool:
