Important Anti-Spam Update

Post by FONGO_kris »

Please listen!

You must all enter your UAC (User Control Panel) and look at the bottom field, it says "Certified".

You MUST select "Yes" - In English.

This will specify you as, well, human! Bot's seem to like to post on this forum a few times a week and in order to fix this I have implemented some security features upon signup.

That's actually quite funny - a SPAM reply in the thread about the measures to fight the spam :). Looks like that flag hasn't been enabled yet. I just switched it to 'yes' couple of days ago, but could successfully post to the boards even with the flag set to 'no'.

This is only for new users, plus most of the spam was coming from bots. Now it's just guys with too much spare time ;)
