Garbage Posts on G&O

Post by Japhy »

Anyone with ideas to control the spam posts?
I thought about confirming email addresses and requiring a login confirmation before allowing posts

I understand that is work for admins
I am thankful for this forum. I learn something every time I read posts and get great answers to questions I have from this knowledgeable group

Put the forum behind CloudFlare would be my advice.

I’m getting pretty quick at moving and banning the bastards

Bullsi, is there a way to let you know other than a private message?

If you need some people with moderator privileges to do a clean up here and there I offer my services, and I'm sure others would too.

I’d be happy to help. I used to run a board and mod a few FB groups.
