What's the latest SPAM game?

[Muhammad]

We don't get nearly as much spam on the board I moderate on and it is similar in size. I'm not sure what we do that this site doesn't do but if we had as much as is being reported here we would go to war. I do notice that this site is showing 7,000 visitors right now which seems high. Our site only shows 1,000 guests. Member participation is similar and we have more threads and 50% more posts. We have about 20 new members per day. I'm not sure about this site. We use zenforo. I'm not sure about this site. @muhammad ?

Xenforo is far superior at spam prevention than vbulletin. In time we might make the switch as we already have on a couple other sites.

That explains it then. Is it just that the actions we take are more effective and preventing reoccurrence or is it that we never see a lot of the spam attempts?

Ha! Looks like oosik and I got into a race to report spam a few minutes ago!

You won this round, Mate = 4 posts to my 3.


Oops! Correction... it was a tie. 3 all.

Ha, ha - - its a tie but my poor 'ol "early morning" fingers are still recovering. I see a lot of us got to "play the game" this morning. Fishing was good.

And my fingers are recovering from getting rid of all that stuff you two reported.:laughing:

I went to bed after reporting 7. How many was the total count last night?
