some changes to help cut down on keylogger spammers

[Ginger_Warrior]

New users unable to use bbcode for 24 hours

 

New users unable to post links for 72 hours (3 days) + post count of 25 (posts are added to a moderation queue perhaps)

 

New users younger than 72 hours or less than 25 posts only able to post one new topic thread an hour. This still allows the new user to post whatever question they perhaps signed up for to ask and also to make an introductory thread or even to create a post in the market boards.

 

 

 

Not sure how possible those modifications are, I know they are not available in vanilla phpbb.

 

 

 

This is likely to prevent immediate signup and spamming. Also it acts as a deterrant in that the spammer may not be bothered waiting for days and spending time posting legitamate posts before they are able to post their spam.

 

OR... we could just report such posts and have a mod deal with them. There's really no need for these restrictions IMHO. It's making a mountain out of a molehill.

I agree there. The report function still works, and doesn't need to be replaced yet.
