proboards and junk posts

[buff1]

I have a couple of proboard forums and one of them gets junk
posts several times a week that I have to delete. I don't want
to make it required to register to post an thread/resonse. Any
ideas why it's being attacked or suggestions on how to combat it?

Thanks
Fred

Admin Menu -> Ban Member

This allows you to ban IP addresses. With luck, the bots behind this will be running from a small number of sources. (The IP address should be visible to admins in the bottom-right corner of posts)

It probably is being done by simple web bots, either for advertising purposes or just to annoy. Perhaps it might also be harmless web crawlers simply "following links" although in this case the posts are likely to be empty.

Good luck!

Thanks I'll try that
