Toms_cool - Another Spambot poster
by Hamtaro126 on 2010-12-19 (#71650)

I am reporting that ''Toms_cool'' is spamming chinese in this (phpBB Issues) forum (do not know chinese, but reportively is a spam message with links)

I think we should reconsider and think about how the spammers are going here, because some bot appears to be lurking here again, I suggest a new layer of security as a forced requirement for determining bots and humans.

EDIT: Yes, The links seems suspicious and most likely unrelated, proceed with caution!

That is all.

As far as an extra layer of security goes, over on NESForums, when you join your first ten posts have to be approved by a mod before they are shown to make sure you are trustworthy. Think that could work over here?

A "moderation queue" might work if the forum were upgraded to phpBB 3.
