99% of spam is gone

Postby zanev » Sat Jul 18, 2009 7:11 am

Ever since I started the new system where the first post has to be approved we have eliminated all robot spam (granted it's only been 2 days). In the 2 days since we started it, I am proud to say we have prevented over 20 spam messages from hitting the board.

As long as I breathe
I'll call you my home

And our turn around rate to APPROVE posts is generally 24 hours as canuck and I check the messages that need approving at least once a day (each). I just approved 4 posts, denied one. So I think we are getting to them in time.
