Seems like this site is lost...no spam control. Sad.

Feel free to post here if you want to create a website dedicated to Mars colonisation.

Eh, I try to get them but I can't access the .php files to modify the forums to install better filters.

Hi louis!

I wanted to say that I made a website called www.TerraformingForum.com which is about micro rovers/satellites and is mostly about all the planets OTHER then Mars because you can just post here or Marsdrive.

Spam seems well controlled now to my eyes but Q+A Captcha seems the solution in 2012 - 2013 :-)

no need to create a different website, just use Q+A Captcha, Webmaster what is your opinion?

Announcement: In order to combat spam, all users who have never posted are removed after 90 days

This is the best news ever in combatting the sleepers that are on this forum. Hopefully other forums will follow newmars lead and do likewise.

I see that we are still being hit with the onslaught new users (new spam accounts) lists zero posts. I assume that the names are being left in place to slow or block account creation...

Thanks again Oldfart1939 for the heads up on this poster Afriepsy as he had the time to create a new topic and make 26 posts all about the same thing......
I think that the front end spam guard may need to be put back up or add some more moderators for making sure that the forum stay protected more hours of the day than I am on.....

Oldfart1939 · 2017-04-21 17:14:05

SpaceNut-

This is a much more serious and professional forum than most. It therefore doubly annoys me to see this sort of crap pop up here.

SpaceNut · 2017-04-22 16:22:36

I do try to keep it going that way but I can not say the same for all of the members with how they post.

To get to Mars will take a team that is diverse in capabilities to not only aid in making it happen but also for the crew that goes as we will need all types of skills.

SpaceNut · 2017-04-24 15:51:43

Admin's can you give me an upgrade as I am not able to delete posts in the Meta New Mars forum for the spammers Emeldatup and Butler

SpaceNut · 2017-04-24 16:19:36

Sorry guy's I saw that these spammer had trashed the board but due to being at work I could not do anything about it until I got home.

I repeat my request again from post #9

I think that the front end spam guard may need to be put back up or add some more moderators for making sure that the forum stay protected more hours of the day than I am on.....

This could damage the forums files system if this continues, so I hope back ups are being done regularly....

Spacenut:

The rest of us very much appreciate your efforts to deal with spammers. There is definitely an upsurge in this activity. I notice at least some is coming from Russia. One of them is obsessed with pineapples, of all things.

I second the appreciation. And I also noticed the pineapples. Why? Was that just a test to see if we were able to read it?

SpaceNut · 2017-04-25 17:13:46

Thanks to both of you as its appreciated.

Maybe you shouldn't tell them how not to do it next time.

SpaceNut · 2017-06-12 16:34:21

Thanks for the double spam notification of "what is the importance of education essay?" thank you...

SpaceNut · 2017-07-12 18:33:34
