Alot of SPAM daily in my comments in the gallery
« on: April 15, 2006, 11:43:35 AM »
Since a few weeks some fools are spamming my gallery (comments) with large amounts of text and penis enlargers and stuff like that. Blocking ip's is not working as they all seem to have changing ip's. what in God's name can I do to stop this.? I want people to be able to place comments in my gallery but i sure as hell don't want these spammers to "take control" of  my gallery! Some-one has got any tips for me? It would be very very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

use that..

I get about 20 to 190 spam messages a day in my comments and that worked perfect.. I searched for http in comment body or in header  since I added that.. and got ZERO   cuz spammers will always add http.. so now I don't have to remove spam messages.. great mod.

btw.. if you had spam in your comments it's not small.. it's a big network in russia.. malaysia.. germany .. india all tied together.. so don't feel like your being targeted.. it's everybody.
