Red Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Unfortunately, this is getting too common now I am suggesting that some sort of captcha system should be added upon each thread creation, those with higher karma (+10 and maybe a post count) do not have to complete the necessary captcha that new members require.
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted March 28, 2016 Netduma Staff Posted March 28, 2016 There's already a captcha for signup and a question that has to be answered. I'm not sure a captcha would make a difference as they're already getting around them. The easiest way to clear spam is to just report a post from each spam user and a mod/admin will probably see it fairly quickly.
Red Posted March 28, 2016 Author Posted March 28, 2016 That security question never changes, could see we an improvement to the current captcha system, a higher difficulty? Switching over to the new recaptcha would be a start.
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted March 28, 2016 Netduma Staff Posted March 28, 2016 I think when the forum gets upgraded to the next version that will also upgrade the captcha system to reCaptcha 2 but I'm not sure if that will make much of a difference as it's probably an actual human solving them anyway.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 28, 2016 Administrators Posted March 28, 2016 Forum should be upgraded very soon so I can look into any new spam protection it may offer
