Please set up a screening process for new members to protect this site. Set up an application page and filter their first several posts to eliminate the dangerous crud being posted.

Thanks,
Spoontang

I second that ...I just joined but it seems this place is getting spammed now more than ever and it really pisses me off. I sent a PM to an admin a while ago with several user names to be removed that clearly are spamming the forum.Nothing yet and they are still bumping up old threads with their gold crap sites and others which I would never dare to click on fearing to be hijacked.

Hey Spoontang you hit the nail on the head filter the garbage!!!!!!!

This is walleye rick, administrator for this forum. I've been in contact with the VBulletin and the spamming is being generated by automatic 'bots'.

I will be upgrading to the latest version of software and they say this will have better protection built in. In the last several weeks I've deleted over 500 spam subscribers but can't keep up with it manually.

Hang in there as I hope the new software will help eliminate much of this garbage.

Hey Rick...Thanks for addressing the issue.At first I thought maybe it was just a few idiots but as it got worse, I began to realize that maybe theres a lot more to it than just a few posts....I wish we could spam them back and see how they like it. I'm still new to the board but this kind of stuff really upsets me when I really enjoy a place like this for something I have always love to do and thats fishin!!!! Not to see fools using it as a way to corrupt ones computer or anything else for that matter. Anyway..thanks again. Hopefully this stuff can be filtered out without any more coming back.Perhaps there's a way to ban thier IPs and emails too.
Chris.

BTW,
Still hopin to get back out on the lake for some Walleye...let you all know how it goes.

No doubt Spoontang. I'm half afraid to open anything on here anymore.
