Had enough yet?
:lol:
Here are a few tips I've run accross.
1) If you want to leave your registration open there is a way to keep the bots from posting.
All new registrations go into the default members category.
First create a new user group.
users and groups-> manage user groups-> add new member group -> base new group on members
set that group up however you want the majority of your members to
Go into
users and groups-> manage user groups -> edit the group members. -> posting permissions:
under can post new topics choose no.
under global permissions: under can use pm system choose no max no. of emails put 0
at the very bottom under promote put in 2 posts. Then promote them to the category you just made.
so, basically you are making it so that all new users cannot email, pm, or start a topic till they have made 2 posts. Since all spam bots try and make a new topic this will prevent them from posting, emailing, or pming.
2) Don't leave the links that previous spam bots have made. I dont' have any real evidence of this, but I strongly suspect that it will atract more bots. If I were making them I would want to find the forums that were leaving the links up, would 't you?
3) add this list to your email ban list. Everytime a new one gets through wildcard ban the address (ie: *@spambot.com) Unless, of course, it is a yahoo, hotmail, gmail or other common suffix. I have noticed names that pop up more than once and have banned those names.
List
