How to prevent spammer to post messages?

[quote author="koahnig" date="1396197636"]I guess it has to be more sophisticated than that.
Would be simply 30% of more garbage.[/quote]

I agree, they willput in garbage in the user fields. but at least as a moderator we can force them to put in more effort to get the spam in the forum manually. I'm convinced this is doen by hand and not a bot.

BTW i'm deleting spam for the past 5 minutes now. This is the 5th spamming wave since friday. I've kept a close look on it during the weekend. Any help is welcome

I guess we both killed a minute ago the messages of a spammer. ;-)
Someone was interfering.
And this is done by hand.

Too efficient... you guys get all the fun! ;-)

Seriously though, good work.

Eddy

Fingers crossed it is only a weekend hobby for the spammer ;-)

Now coming from http://qt-project.org/member/162730

We need a new forum filter rule: Posts which contain the string "baba" should automatically be banned ;-P

Maybe we should create some sort of Qt Webkit based client that will allow to the moderators to cleanup forum faster. :-)
It can be distributed client that will communicate with other admin clients to spread the cleaning effort.

SGaist

QTextBrowser, webkit is problematic on iOS and Android ;)

Also the access to forum will change to my understanding. That is at least Tero announced when he started.
