Hey peeps,
I just logged in here with my new laptop and noticed this new member named Zafran was posting porn links all over the site.
DO NOT CLICK ON ANY OF THOSE LINKS!!!!!
I did click on one and it said I needed to download a Windows Media Player codec. I did download it and saved it so I could scan it and it is a very bad WORM. I PM'd Doug, but it's 2:40 in the morning up here in Idaho and I'm sure he's in bed so I figured it be best to warn y'all!
I say this a-hole!
Bob

We are getting close to that here. As it is, I delete around half of new registrations now.
Back in the old days, we didn't even verify email and didn't have a problem. Less than a year ago, we had to start verifing because the spammers were getting out of hand. It gets worse everyday, so manual authorizations might come soon.
That will sort of suck for genuine new members because they might have to wait a bit before they are authorized.

Prolly more security on the front end will save you problems in the day-to-day activities or having to go to manual approvals... Â Â

Might be worth it though, less daily maintenance!..
