I’ve been struggling for a long time with spam accounts, as most of you know. Bots, or humans seemingly have had no issue breaking through the Captcha’s and the quizzes I’ve installed into the registration form. They register hundreds of email accounts. Once they’re in, they send message spam and/or post spam to their accounts and to the forums. It’s been painful trying to filter out those users and especially painful removing the garbage they post when they make it through.
I finally found a plugin that seems to be working in preventing those accounts from registering, and it also scans the posts for spam links too and disallows them. I’m in a trial period until the end of July then it is only a yearly subscription of $30/year.
If you see spam or questionable accounts, definitely let me know. Hopefully this solution will be mostly the end of it.

I got the same email from Adams Kodjo.

For clarification, it is most likely that you received an email notification from the site that a user sent you a private message. The spammer did not “email” you directly.

Haha must be bad luck. I literally came to say you’ve got some spammer bots getting through (1st time for me from utehub)

How are they getting your email address from this website?

I don’t think the spammer “emailed” anyone. They just send direct messages and then the website sends out an email notification.

I’ve deleted (hopefully) all the spam messages and banned that user. Also, this new plugin I have allows sites like this one to report these spammers, so they will be blacklisted elsewhere.

Wait wait wait…don’t delete it. I was looking forward to the opportunity to work with Adams Kodjo and I was hoping he would find a way to get in touch with me!
