Re: (HELP! SPAM!) The creation of the E-11 blaster rifle V2.0

Must I really go spammer hunting with my E-11? Or is there a way to fix this?
My old website never got spam, not even once. Even though the link to the guestbook is gone, the guestbook still gets spam, so the F'ing moronic A'holes must be searching for my guestbook.php or something.

F' them all! Join my spammer hunting club and help destroy them:angry

Don't know what you're programming level is, but adding a psuedo password phrase as a requirement to post a guestbook entry helps. The bots can be good, but they aren't that smart. I have a site for someone to post baby pictures (1200 at last count :) and there's a guestbook feature i wrote there. It's no fancy thing, just leave your name and a comment. Spammers started hitting that pretty quick. I added an entry to the guestbook form asking to 'what is his first name'. No where on the page the form is on does it list his name. Only on the header of a previous page. Haven't had a spammer since. And that's 8 months now or so. (knock on wood) :lol:lol

Nice, I'll try adding another entry then, and also disable url's. I guess there is no point in spamming there if url's are disabled.

I did find a socalled spam free guestbook thing that I had to download. I guess there's a code somewhere I need to add..But I will try this first.

Thanks for the help, need this sorted before adding more tutorials.

Cool. Hope it works. Seemed like the key for me was prompting for an answer a bot simply couldn't know, but that would be fairly obvious to those I wanted to post. Didn't know how it was going to work when i did it, but as mentioned earlier, it's worked great.

Good luck with yours :)

Thanks :)

I have now added a second form there titled subject below the name form.
I have also disabled url's and BBcode.
I guess it did sort of work, havn't had a spammer there yet.

Was this somewhat what you meant that I should do?
It's not really a question, but I guess it sort of worked.

Also I will try to fix the rest of the tutorials soon, only my life appears to be a big bowl of mess right now, so I need a few hours of watching sci-fi and fantasy movies while smelling down a bag of jelly beans or something.. All human systems should be fully functional soon. Sorry if a few curse words appear now and then in my website, I try to keep it as swear free as possible.

Good night
