Spam in the Projects folder

Postby Morph » Wed Mar 04, 2009 10:02 am

I have noticed that only the projects folder get's hit with Spam and I am guessing that it's name is too predictable for the Spam Bots. So I have changed the name to Members Projects to see if they will go away

Maybe remove projects from the name altogether ? Member's builds?

Maybe time to add a humaniser question into the registration process, or increase the CAPTCHA settings?

We do have a humaniser question. Plus only admin can approve members, but they still manage to post a message in Projects without even being authorised

I'll check up on the CAPTCHA settings
