Re: Forum attacked by spammers
Ramiuz –
I turned on Akismet last night, it caught all my car spammers and then some while I slept like a baby.
You realize that Akismet is actually run by WordPress, right? And that they are actively developing it? And that it connects to a shared database so that all spammers across the internet are flagged?
It shouldn’t “mess the whole forum up.” Try it again and if you’re having problems come back and I’ll help you. Akismet is the solution to your problem.
TonyVitabile –
Can’t you search users via the admin panel and see who is an admin?
If there are “tons of posts” but none showing, maybe they have been deleted already? By Akismet, perhaps?
