Spam BOT Banning, Your Views
« on: January 14, 2010, 04:23:37 pm »
Hello,

 I'm just seeking your opinion. I'm debating whether to create an auto spam bot banning programme on smfnew. Where when a user enters your forum, our system will check if its a recognized spammer, if so, it would show them a banned message.

Just seeking your views. (just looking if anyone will oppose the idea)

 Thanks

Yes, but let admins disable it. I think it's all up to the forum owners, so letting admins disable it is the best.

This is a great idea.

I believe this will help many forum owner's.

What would the system check to ensure it is a spammer? Will it compare through a database like Stop Forum Spam or similar?

If that's the case, you don't need admins to disable it.

Make it into a plugin/modification, where it can be enabled/disabled. There is a spam banner for mybb included with it, so have one similar to that.

How about like you let them in but in the admin section they are put on the keep a close eye list?

Because someone may not spam on the forum they want to register.
