Hamster Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 A few of us have started receiving PM's from either spambots or malicious new members which contain links to very suspicious sites. These sites are probably some kind of hacking / virus / malware etc attempt to infect your PC. Please report any dodgy PM's like this from members on this thread, and a Mod or Admin will take action.

Machines Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 It's affecting all sites running the same version of software, a patch should be applied soonish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Ok patch has been applied (cheers phatmonkey !), it should mean that spamming members can not send mass PMs as easily. An upcoming update to the forum as a whole should limit it as much as possible. [quote]Upcoming IP.Board 3.0.0 IP.Board 3.0.0 contains this update already and new spam mitigation tools such as timed user group promotion. We are also exploring new centralized spam identification and banning services which we hope to have updates for you very soon![/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I recently joined another forum (Audi) & they have it so you have to make 5 posts before you can PM or sell. Might be an idea for keeping spam down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
