;) nice work

edit:
Such a user account often has a link in its profile to some spammer's website. By not removing the account you help the spammer by increasing its Google page rank.

i will tell you, that there is 1451 accounts without post, and we have 650 accounts with at least 1 post. so why would the spam bots increase the pagerank?

he is saying about spammer's website page rank.

[andyglest]

AGAIN! this is too much. someone please contact tucho to delete all accounts that posted a spam ever. he is administrator of this board and can delete accounts. there is no mail in his profile.

[hailstone]

What about getting everyone to click a link in their email then after a month or something whoever hasn't will be deleted? (I'm not sure if it's possible though)

[@kukac@]

well, personally i thought, that who hasnt got at least 1 post after registering a week (so we have to delete the spam within 1 week) the account would be deleted. also, for real users, there should be an activity topic.

[@kukac@]

i think he is currently modelling something else ;) and you cant command the administrator(s) to delete this, and this account.

EDIT: also, check the memberlist in descending mode. Tucho will not delete all of those accounts.

[andyglest]

also, check the memberlist in descending mode..

i did already - and thats what im talking about

[andyglest]

and you cant command the administrator(s) to delete this, and this account..

just to make things clearlier - thats not any kind of command. i just think it would be easier to delete account before they occupy us :lol:

I still think a nice solution would be to require that the first message of a new account is reviewed by a moderator before it appears on the forum. If a spammer then wants to get his message on the forum, he would need to post an on-topic message first; and I don't see a spam bot doing that.

[@kukac@]

we were talking about in different solution in at least 20 topics (mostly in spam topics, so they got deleted), but nothing has changed.

The solution is damn easier. Just put a "I am a human" checkbox on the signup page and this will stop the bots. The CAPTCHA doesn't work because probably it's a well known phpBB mod that the bots already know, but if a site has a own solution they won't know how to solve it.

[andyglest]

i think there is no such solution. i think all that spams were added manually. registered manually, and then pasted pre-written spam into topic, and then clicked Submit.

thats an option what we must count too.

Uh, I see quite a few spam topics in development, and one in general with the name, black jack online.  Theres some quite disturbing ! ones in development. I think they've been sitting around for quite a while. Just saying. 

And I totally agree that spammers should get their accounts deleted, or even their ip addresses banned if they seriously offend. And moderators should be able to "get promoted" to be able to delete accounts after proving themselves. Maybe that would work.

[hailstone]

I think they've been sitting around for quite a while.

They've been there less then 24 hours and it probably won't be there too much longer. The moderators do a good job of removing spam. :)

[@kukac@.]

I agree!

[@kukac@]

If someone wants to post a spam, he dont need too much time...

[hailstone]

I agree!

Was that you kukac? lol  :O

[enveloop]

I say NO to spam XD. Just deleted one, it´s really annoying.

[@kukac@.]
