Due to SPAM, forums require registering

admin · #1 (**permalink**) 30th Jul 2006, 4:33 pm

Hi everyone,

Due to a heavy flood of spam messages on the forum in the last few days, I have decided to change the permissions on the forums to only allow REGISTERED members to post and reply in the forums.

This will only affect GUEST and people who hasn't registered. Existing members log in and post as per usual.

Sorry to do this, but this is to keep the forum free from spammers.

I will probably open it up again to allow GUEST users to post later this week to see how it goes.

Of course, you are all more than welcome to register to post in the forums if you haven't already. This is to keep spammers away from spamming the site.

Hey Binh,
Great idea, all the guests are welcome to register and post that way it is easier for us to follow up on certain issues also. Also, lately spamming on the forum has increased in the form of mass linking and therefore this was turning out to be necessary. Once again, great work Admin!
