Just a question: Why are some guys so stupid and spend the time to write a long text of spam? That time could be easily spent with more intersting hobbies. I think, these people are just stupid and really seem to have no hobbies except of posting spam!

@ian
when some people like us called it spam, some other called it job..they make money from it :D

=====

an image with 6 or more char capcha is one good solution against spam bots but not with spam human (people paid for posting spam)

maybe you could also put it in the registration form (as i recall, this forum do not use any image capcha, rite?)

but afaik, there is no solution that can 100% protect a forum against spammer :p

:lol: We could add a "spam section". Right on top of Project news, so any spambots and spammers post their spam on the first section of the forums they find. :lol:
