Swamped with Spammers
Post by MarkGoodwinPianos »
These spammers are tricky. They aren't spambots, they are manual spambots, real life human beings. In my experience they are from Indonesia and are no doubt paid about £2 per day to register on forums all day long posting links.
Yamaha Pianos for sale (usually 50+ in stock)

Very little defence against human beings unless we make all new users go into new user group and their post are placed in a moderator list and after x amount of post they move out but that's a lot of work.MarkGoodwinPianos wrote:These spammers are tricky.

Some of the bots are clever I have just changed the GD image again that may slow the robots down but they are like the Borg they assimilate and re-adapt.
More like 0.50 usd a day

I just went through the Piano Lounge and Digital Pianos Forums and cleaned out any recent spam (since I left). Not a huge amount really. Gill has been keeping on top of things.
