Azure Moon Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Hi, A newbie here, so please be kind. I'm just starting out, my site is up, but no products loaded yet. For the past two days I've had three different scum bags post "Buy illegal drugs here" on my forum. I don't want that kind of crap on my site and it seems as soon as I delete one, another one shows up. I tried e-mailing them and telling them to cease and disist, but it comes back as undeliverable. Does anyone know how to keep this from happening? Please advise. Brightest Blessings, Azure Moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 most forum software (the free kind) offer add-ons / extentions / contributions to filter these type of things for you, or to make it harder for these bags to post this stuff. if you're using phpbb, check out their website in the contribution section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brightest Blessings, Azure Moon my interpretation of "forum" is what we are posting on now... this place. a section of a website to post stuff and have the public view immediately. if the junk you're getting is going to your email inbox, see the previous poster's replies. elsewise... if it's on a place like this... look to the VERY bottom of the page receiving replies and click on the click included next to the copyright year - that place will offer such contributions (for forums) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooter-boy Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I have never seen that contribution before. You could add a visual verification contribution. It will help stop automatic posts. BTW, you really need to add a thumbnails contribution or something to speed up your page loads. It took far too long for the images to load.

I'm sorry, but i cannot offer Free support via PM etc, and osCommerce forums prohibit me from putting any reference to paid support in my signauture. However viewing my profile may provide links to my website or something like that which you may find useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
