 Re: How to delet users from the namelist? | |
Yes, it is a war.
Make sure that you set user activation to 'admin' so you can look at the profiles before you agree to activate them. It is a pain to do - one of my forums gets about 10 new registrations a day, but I've only activated one in the past month! I am afraid I don't let anyone register who has set the board language to Albanian, Russian or similar - I'm not against the race per se, but these seem to be where spam originates one. I also don't allow people on who list their interests as 'porn' etc! (and believe me, many of them do!).
It is a pain, and maybe some bonafide members don't get activated, but I figure they can always email the site if they really want to get on the forum and complain why they can't get set up.
Don't know why they are hitting one of my forums and not the other as the security is the same on both, but something must be attracting them.
Forum's are a lot of work - but worth it.
