Due to the recent amount of spammers signing up to the forums, I have been forced to impliment certain changes to the "New Members" user group.
Over the past 2 weeks I have deleted over 220 members who are known to send spam messages, I have also been forced to block certain countries where 75+ percent of the spam sign ups are originating. The changes are listed below. QUOTE I have been force to raise the number of posts a member in that group has to have to be promoted to the "Carpers" member group. It was previously 10 posts, it is now 15 posts required for them to be promoted. I have disabled the "email another member" facility for the "New Members" group. Finally I have disabled the Personal Message (PM) system for the user group. I have made these changes to protect our current members from receiving spam PM's and emails originating from members of this forum. I have also created a discussion topic where you can discuss the changes if needed. Discuss the changes here -------------------- TinyAdd - Make Long URL's a thing of the past.
