Help From Administration Here

[DeepHittersMagazine]

Can I get help from you Admin here at SMD on how to keep these porn, mortgage and etc. from registering in my forum. How do you guys do it? Do you have to individually browse through the profile?

im not admin or anything but on some forums when u fill out the registration they ask u a very weird question at the end like

Are you going to kill yourself? *not a good reference but i just woke up*

Bots acnt answer these i dont think

I have seen alot of forums who have these boxes with randomly generated numbers and letters you have to put in. Bots cant do these either. I dont know what they're called, but they work very well from what I understand.

I know what you are referring to, it's on myspace but I don't think this particular forum program does that. It annnoying to check each registration

That works, but also it depends on what forum you are running, i.e: phpbb, invision, you can set it up for that when a person registers they have to have an admin "o.k" their account before they can post, that can be a pain in the ass but if you have a few admins it works out quite nicely unless you have 200+ people registering a day

jsut post a section and in order for u to see the est of the forum, u have to atleast make 5 posts. A bot will have the same post or rammble about something. then u got it. Send a pm and if no reply boom!

On this Forum they use the number generator i had a hard time registering because i would type in the numbers but it was say it was wrong.
