SPAM ATTACK

Sisco, I can't keep up with it. as fast as I delete, another twenty pop up.

We need to turn on Captha, OR, make is so the first posting by a new member needs moderators approval.

I have always thought that we need an approval method.

If I enter all of the email addresses of the canard people that I know
and everyone else does the same, we could create a large file having
ONLY canard people.

Waiter I finally gave up too. It got to the point that I was logging on every half hour and deleting 4-5.

Sisco;

I tried to REMOVE posts, but I get the following error

Database Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query
File: /db/docroot/www.ez.org/smf/Sources/RemoveTopic.php
Line: 368Database Error: MySQL server has gone away
File: /db/docroot/www.ez.org/smf/Sources/Load.php
Line: 2008

I tried several posts and get the same error.

I updated the database server and some other systems and it seems to be OK now. I'll get started
deleting the SPAM... there must be a hundred or more in the San Diego section.

I think there may have been more than one of us deleting spam because it went real quick. Thanks for
the help.

OK, That went pretty fast, You and Harry must have been deleting the same time I was!!!!

This should work out nicely.

Thanks for your effort.

Gone for now... maybe they will stay gone. The new version of this forum software does
more to fight it.
