CleanTalk spam guard
« on: February 07, 2019, 05:25:46 PM »
I've recently installed CleanTalk anti spam on the forum.
https://cleantalk.org/
It has a very easy to follow installation guide, what could be easier.
I'm well impressed by it, and at a reasonable price too.
Saves me and the mods a lot of manual work sorting out the legit sign ups from the spam ones.
If by chance you're a member of another forum and they are susceptible spam attacks, mention it to the admin on that forum.
It might help them out too  MD (y)

Just a mention.....
  I've just clicked on you tube to a specific piece of footage {U.S.A.} and it then asks me, because of the nature of the film {shootout!}, to verify I'm over 18 before I can watch it, I clicked on like I've done a few times before, but instead of the "I am over 18" click it's asking me to verify my age by providing my credit card details!!
I've never seen that before.

I thought you tube looked out for that sort of thing.
I am not a pessimist, I just help them out when they're busy.

I've had exactly the same thing. I googled it and it did come up as being genuine, although being ever cautious, I didn't bother doing it.

I am so impressed with CleanTalk anti spam I have just renewed the service for another 3 years.
I get an email everymonth telling me how many spam posts have been stopped or rejected by the system.

Brilliant stuff  (y) MD
