Hi EdwinKort,

Thank you for reporting spam.

You see more spam because some moderators are in vacation.

We already have a captcha.

Thank you for the stopforumspam link, I'll see what we can do.

I noticed loads of spam on this forum today. Reported some of them, but this would be an everasting battle

I don't know if it's possible to add akismet or another captcha to this forum, or maybe using http://www.stopforumspam.com/contributions to block spam from coming through.

And how do you solve this problem with SPAM? I read this forum since 2009 but last 2weeks it became impossible because of many spam themes. Make captcha as on this travel**url moderated**.

Already 10 IP addresses automatically banned in just 5 minutes!

Let's see how stopforumspam is efficient first

For now the only spam was from a user registered on piwigo.org/extension (not checked against stopforumspam) and the posting as registered user (not checked against stopforumspam)

On piwigo.org/ext we should force registration on piwigo.org/forum

I'm fed up with Prada bags too ^^

Great :)

Honeypots are okay, but they don't really stop spam, you only provide the organisation behind it with data of the spammers. It's cool too.

Yes, I've got it running on my blog-site, and it really caught loads of spammers. It isn't intended to stop spammers though. It only identifies them so others can check for IP's.

For example, this is a list of spammers caught through a hidden link on my site:
