Not all free forums have CAPTCHA, which is what auto-generates a new code for each new registration and can stop a lot of the bots from signing up. Many of the full forums (which you have to pay for a license for and install on your own server, like phpBB) include that automatically as a feature.

No, I don't have that. I don't know if it's even available on this kind of board. I think the proboards people would have just turned it on for us, since they spent so much time cleaning up threads here before I was made a mod.

If it's not something that you can see to turn on, then it's likely a feature that isn't included with ProBoards. We're just going to have to live with bots registering and spamming the hell out of the board. I hope you are up for it, Sidney.

I did email Sidney about this morning's spam, too. So far it doesn't look like much. Yet.

It really isn't a big deal to click a button and delete a thread, or a group of threads by one 'member'.
I think just remaining positive is the key to happiness. Don't sweat the small stuff.
I'll try to get in here when I can... Remember, I didn't ask for this. I was made moderator. I am willing to do everything I can to keep this board running because I've been here a while and I like it here. But sometimes I may, you know, have to attend to my three children and career, so it may take an hour or so. In that time, just ignore it. I will come back. I promise.

Just got rid of some spam. Haven't had to in a while. It wasn't the usual potions/witchcraft ones. It was about steaming movies.

Do you mean streaming movies (like from the internet) or steamy movies (like x-rated movies)? Or something else?

haha Typo I missed the r. My new keyboard has the keys a little more far apart than my old one. Typing in the dark is making everything so exciting! Who knows what I'll end up writing next?

I thought maybe it was just a Canadian way of talking about "steamy" movies or something! Or it could have been movies about steaming vegetables or other kinds of food, I suppose!
