The Spam-Bots are KILLIN me, son!

Thanks for the updates, John.

The changes I described in my previous post have been implemented.

This doesn't mean that GreekChat will be 100% spam free as that would probably be impossible with GC being an open registration site. However, spam from spambots should be very significantly reduced from this point on.

Please feel free to post replies to any introduction threads in our new Introductions forum and welcome all the new GCers to GreekChat.

I'm surprised there weren't more responses to this before. But good work, John.

Thanks. I hope this results in a huge improvement with the spam issue on GC. I'm almost certain that it will.

Awesome! Thanks, John!

thanks!! I appreciate the efforts to keep the spam down.

HOORAY!

I'm sure everyone knows, but just figured I would mention this. If not for all the moderators on GC battling it out with the spammers on pretty much a daily basis, we would probably be swimming in spam here by now. Kudos and a big thank you to all the GC moderators for keeping the bots in check!

I'll be getting all those deleted thread notices cleaned up as well. The good thing is all of that is only viewable in forums by the mods of the specific forum, super mods & myself. Non-mods are not exposed to the mess of deletion notices and mods do not see them outside of their forums. Some of the other forums were just about literally plagued by the spambots with the deletion notices going on for pages & pages. Anyhow, that will all be sorted out & cleaned up very soon.
