The spam has killed this Forum IMHO.

Re: The Forum is dead...
Yes, it is. Too sad. Unfortunately the forum moderators didn't take us seriously. I hope this great community and the know how won't be lost.

If the Forum moderators are not able to clean up the spam, would they be interested in finding/delegating to someone who would? |

It appears to have been completely abandoned. When was the last post by Andy or Ric? |

At cyclingforum.info it is possible to search in cyclingforums.com so the old topics can still be found. Please tell me what you think about it.

Re: The Forum is dead...
I don't know about the other moderators or where they are...? Unfortunately, i've recently been dealing with some personal/family issues, which have meant i haven't had time to visit the forums and delete the spammers. I don't know how to block them at present.
I now have a bit more time available and would not like to see these forums die. I'm trying to ascertain what i can do to get rid of the spammers. Please try and hang in there folks. Thanks and apologies Ric

Re: Forum is dead
Thanks to those that have volunteered to help moderate but who has access to get in? Ric, can you delegate to those that might be technically savy enough to implement anti spyware?

Re: Forum is dead

That's probably what we're dealing with. The best solution might be to moderate the first post of any new users to make sure it's topical and not a bot. The other alternative would be to use an anti-bot scheme that doesn't use character recognition, which bots can do. While they can recognize numbers and letters, they can't pick out, say, the picture of a dog from 3 pictures of cats. Or the mountain bike picture from several road bike pictures.
