Spamming & Status Issues

[Lahori_Munda]

Hi,

 I try alot to search my problem on your forum but there is no such topic I found. OK what I am having problem that, I got lots of spammer registration on my forum, even you guys told me to install STOP FORUM SPAM but still having issues.

 

I also put securities, even add question and captcha system, also apply approving system, that admin can approve their accounts. Now they just registered and verified there accounts and keep posting links in there status. So now how I can stop this freaking issue. Google email that my site is doing spamming. 

 

So please guys help with this.

 

Thanks.

Try adding

$INFO['su_enabled']					 =	   '0';

to conf_global.php If that doesn't work I could upload this hook if you like? http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/5378-status-update-group-controls/

The question and answer system is often overlooked as a great way to stop spam. As soon as you notice spammers, change your question and answer. Trust me, it works. It is a good idea to change your question and answer about once a month.

I do,  even i change my question after 2 weeks. But these freaking spammers keep registering and posting link in their status.

Any solution for that guys?

You could disable status updates, that would mean your real members couldn't update their status either though.

[Lahori_Munda]

Ok thats fine, but how we can disable that option?

[xzoex]

Edit member group and "Remove Status Update ability" is under the global tab.

[Lahori_Munda]

I slect option Yes, but its still user post their status. 

 

Remove Status Update ability: Yes / No

If you edited the correct member group I don't know. I never actually turned them off to check if it worked.

[Lahori_Munda]

Even i try my admin group, still can update my status.

[Lahori_Munda]

Yeah i use this and its work, but i didn't try hook.

 

Thanks.
