Time for CAPTCHA?
Is there a way to make it a month or so that new members have to enter a captcha?

I was thinking the need stronger CAPTCHA for registration. Anti bot hidden field that catches the bot before it hits submit is also another one.
There's probably other advanced anti-spam measures like regex filtering (maybe blocking spammy emails or an algo that detects spammy content.) Zilvia is running on an older version of vBulletin, so perhaps there are existing anti-spam measures that they haven't tried yet. |

May be time to upgrade versions, however 5 is just as vulnerable.
I've been following where VB5 is and as of late most patches out are being overridden by a lot of SQL injection keeping them vulnerable. I'd say a better form of registration is at least the bare that can be fixed or help what's going on.

I really miss having phpBB boards. They were almost to open sourced though for most people who really wanted to get custom custom. I've since seen them go downhill though, unfortunately.

The wordpress.com/org thing was a perfect move for them. They got people who had zero idea on what to do on the hosting side of things and essentially made it easier for that non-tech type of person who, for example, wanted to run a small shop online. It was great for the "basic" type of person who all they had to do was forward their sub-wordpress-domain to their current personal URL. Overall was a win in my books. Not for me obviously, but great for an average non-techsavvy person.

Yep, I agree.
The spam bots have taken over this forum. I dont know why an admin has not chimed in yet, this is pretty odd. It shouldnt be too hard to fix this issue: |

I just saw like 15 THREADS about skin care and other spammy bullshit. Can I be a mod please? Even if it's just spam ops. I'll just ban those members and delete those threads.

You have my vote! Plus another marketplace mod wouldn't hurt as this forum is honestly turning for the worst this past year....

What the fuck is going on with this site? Spam is out of hand and the rest of the forums are just running on the notion of rules and regulations. For a forum that was once so healthy and useful, this is shameful. Seems like getting new mods on board is well over due. The only value the board has now is the Marketplace and even that is falling apart rapidly.
