Busy Day...For Me Today!
On top of the posting issues this morning, we were hit with a half dozen spambots registering and attempting to spam the forum. All this, of course, while I was busy at work.
I was able to get them banned from my phone and am blocking the IP addresses from the server.
They were from, Poland, Belarus, China, Minsk, and somewhere else I can't remember.

Just had two more during dinner. Latvia, and Ukraine.
I doubt they came to talk about standardized testing at KISD.

I just added a new "bot" prevention modification and making changes to the "Register" process.
Hopefully, it will work.
I hate spammers!

Heeheehee! Success already.
The mod I installed will kick a registrant out if the form is completed too fast. Then, it sends me an email with the IP address, so I can then go ban the IP.
I have it set for fifteen seconds.
Less than five minutes after installing it, I got the following email.
A registration was prevented by bot blocker; visitor information below.

Does that mean that if one writes an entry off line, say with MSWord, and then does a copy/paste to CTT, that posting will be blocked?
