"This forum is now "protected"..."

.. which means you have to be logged in to be able to post. I've had this one set to moderated for a while, due to it getting hit by spammers.We had this problem before, again, seems to be mainly this forum, not so much the others. Back then, I moderated it for a while, then moved it to a new URL ... persistent little buggers arern't they.
We are also starting to see some spam hit the Wiz8 forum, so may have to look at measures there as well.

LAST EDITED ON Dec-10-06 AT 01:55 AM (Pacific)Mayhap you do need to put the whole set of forums on registered users only. While I do feel bad for people that forget their login info..I am sick of the SPAMMERS too.

As always, I agree with Lady A. There is another spammer on this morning.

LAST EDITED ON Dec-10-06 AT 02:23 PM (Pacific)I like having things be free and wide open, but when that starts aggravating, gotta do something. And if you just stay logged in, as I do, you don't have to remember your username and password.
I'll probably lock things down tonight and perhaps open registration again.

I figure as I see spammers hitting each forum I will lock it down, to registered users only.So, add the Wiz 8 forum (Destination Dominus) to the locked down list ...
Also, this fourm software is really old, so there may be an upgraded version that has some features to block spammers. I'll try looking into that (later in the year or early next year).
