Support Forum

Is there an option to deny guest links from being posted? Or at least, transforming the HTTP part of the link to something like HxxP automatically? I'm afraid that my forum will become a spammer's heaven.

Actually, the math question doesn't seem to stop the robot that's been attacking my install.

It's obviously a robot, because there are 250 new identical posts within a matter of minutes.

I've been searching the forums here for some nugget, but can't seem to find a solution.

Here's my situation…

I have a forum setup that is only open to members except for one named "Presale Questions".  This is where guests can post questions without being a member.

A few weeks ago however, someone setup a robot to post ads to their crappy store. 

I tried setting permissions to moderate, however it still seems to let them post 250 message without hinderance.  Doesn't prevent anything.

Rather than locking the forum and not allowing legitimate guests to post, I'd like an alternative to block the spammer.  The math question does not do the job.

Is there anything in the works to help this?

captcha?

velocity filter?

60 second timed limiter?

Thanks…
