New Anti-Spam System

[Nifty-Chicken]

Well, some good news: We implemented this additional system about 90 minutes ago and have blocked 148 spam access attempts! That's almost 2 per minute!

Crazy spammers!

Even the forum I set up to test login methods for Flock Manager got a spammer! But it's got an advantage over other forums: I can just disable posting and nothing is harmed.

*Wonders why he didn't do that earlier*

This posting reminded me to check our farm website and since I last checked (roughly 1 month ago, we had over 24 attacks of spam! We are a small website. We have never had spam before! I have had to change settings allowing posts on the website. I will check more often and now that BYC has set up new spam guards, hopefully our web spam goes down as well!
