Spam postings on the BBS

I have seen a number of spam postings on this BBS lately.
In each case, it is the first posting by a new user.

Perhaps new accounts should be configured for a one or two day "cooling off" period before they can be used to post items?

Ehrm, do you still have to delete this many? Do you ban the users, too?

Have you noticed that the Gmail registration requires an invitation from a friend, it is a good way, as for example Yahoo is now like hell, full of spammers and automatic emails.

I wonder if you should receive an invitation to join the forum, but you should at least submit your emails in order to be contacted first.

Regards,

Klaus, lately I have not had to delete any.

Seems much better.
I think Astaro have implemented email confirmation now.

PS: I don't ban the users, I don't think I have the power to.
