I can ban users as well now so hopefully the problem will deminish a bit.

just out of interest do you know how many have been banned under the current spam issue?

72 this week so far

be a few more over night me thinks....

although if inteligent the BOT may check the longevity of its work and decide to move on ... although i doubt it as it's not exactly costly for the BOT owner to keep it pluging at sites.

TT

another bunch of users banned and 30odd posts removed...

would there be some way of only book owners been able to register here to post
this way it helps fund the site via book sales?

As a retrospective measure no, you would need a complex individual code number in each book. Then their would be the technical aspect, which would far outweigh the work needed to upgrade to a later version of vBulletin which has improved anti-spam measures.

And besides, we want to encourage genuine people to join the self build community.
