Hi, i seem to be getting a high volume a spam from links directly cutting and pasting into previous HE forum posts. Anyway of stopping this or limiting it?
I have found the spammer in question and his multiple posts. I have banned the user.. we frequently have to do this and are pretty aggressive against the spammers. Unfortunately some do get through and make many posts. If you are getting email from the forums, this is because you have subscribed to some threads. You can change your settings in the User CP of the forums.
I believe you can set the forum up to only allow people with a certain number of posts to post links. However, that may be a different piece of forum software.. That may help, but won't stop the electronic selling guys... Perhaps you can limit the lenght of the post for new members as well?
