Spammers

Post by Yara50 »

We have had a few Russian spammers. Dont know why they bother with us, maybe they think the Investigator563 is a fancy yacht, and we are all millionaires! Little do they know!

Yes , persistent little cusses , they are back again this morning. Maybe we should tell them we know Donald Trump and they will leave us alone.

These guys keep coming back, so I have had to change to manual activation of new members.

Unfortunately Ian its the only way . When I had the interim Investigator site on Google Groups I was plagued with the "B##bs from Bollywood" mob constantly spamming. A qualfying email application that could not be made up by a machine was the only way to stop them.

Still they come- So bad that now I have had to block new users. When I find out how to improve the security, I will open membership up again.
