*Temporary Maintenance*

[Nook Kim]

Due to the recent attack from a spam robot, we're not accepting new registrations until things settle down a bit. I'm trying my best to win my first battle ever against this horrifying creature, so please understand if I'm a bit slow at this. Also, any advices from any of you guys will be very appreciated.

If you absolutely need to register now for some reason, you can e-mail me with your "full name", and I will set up an account for you. Just use the Contact Us link at the bottom.

Thanks for your patience,

[Rodrigo Llano]

the most details that you asking in the registration the better in order to keep away the spam and other with weird names robots..

and obviously the a legal confirm email, and a couple of human steps in the confirmation.

Temporary maintenance has been over. Please let me know if any of you have problems using DCS forums in the future.

Best Regards,

DCS Forum users,

I thought I figured out how to fight those spam robots, but it looks like they are still in the system. Therefore, I've closed up the registration once again until I clean up the forums.

If you're a guest and would like to register, please e-mail me using the "contact us" link at the bottom of the pages.

Best,

I admin several vb's.

All you have to do is set the registration process so it requires that new registrants answer a question. It stops registration bots dead in their tracks.

An example of a question would be: How many letters are the in the word Cine? Or What is the 3 letter name of a high resolution digital videocamera line that is also the color of Ferrari's? So you get the idea....

I just deleted 44 spam messages in my inbox

We only get 1 human spammer registrant a week now, and using the new posts feature, we delete their 1st spam post, and block their IP.
