I would like to ask you to remove the Russian spam that is flooding this forum - mainly in the General Questions category

in VirtueMart General Main categories not working:

  • Go to archived boards
  • Official Commercial Projects Board

Hello Hazael

We are a couple of moderators that usually remove spam within hours. You have no idea of how much spam we remove every day. This was just a little drop in the big spam ocean.
Removed-

But why not use captcha solutions to increase spam?

Thanks for your response Jörgen - I understand this problem perfectly because I see what happens here every day  :-[

A very effective solution is to temporarily block the publication of posts by a new user from the moment they create an account on the forum.
You can also set a time limit between subsequent posts. This effectively blocks automatic post adders.
