Annoying spam

Hi there
I have a Danish forum for primarily Danish users. Now I experience an increasing problem with foreign people who register and afterwards post spam threads and links to malware sites.

Is it somehow possible to prevent the problem by inserting a Danish question as a kind of CAPCHA when people register?

By asking a Danish question the foreign users won't have a chance to register.

Is there a smarter way to avoid these 'ardous' spammers?
 

Det afhænger af, hvad dette spørgsmål er. Kan De altid google Det

Email activation does stop allot of spam, without it you would get allot more. The problem with forum spam is that people are employed to spam forums, you can find companies online offering as many as 500 forum links for as little as $50.

One good way to reduce spam is to have post approval enabled for new members accounts, once they get above 10 posts they move up to a new group where they do not have to have posts approved. Before the spam filter this was used on this forum and it worked very well.

If you have a Web Wiz Forums Hosting Packages with ourselves then upgrades would be free and just require a support ticket to have your forum upgraded.

Other upgrades would depend on the type of license you have and if your upgrade protection is still current or been renewed.

There is go to the pre_approved_topics.asp page in your forum for a complete list of all topics that have posts that need approval.

The link to this is under the 'Moderator Tools' drop down found inside each forum on the page that lists the topics in that forum.
