Mrs Frugal Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Just to let you all know that the registration to the forum is now admin activation only so even though you may see spammers on the memberlist, they are absolutely unable to post anything until their accounts have been activated. I will remove them ASAP . There is now no need for anyone to notify me that there are dodgy new members on the memberlist as I will get an e-mail for every single new member, genuine or not and will be able to sort out the real ones from the spammers and only activate the genuine ones.

Mrs Frugal Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 You'll now notice that all forum based e-mails such as topic reply notifications, PM notifications etc are all from barbara@omlet.co.uk and this is because I've had to alter the main forum e-mail address to stop James being inundated with activation e-mails everytime someone registers. Barbara and I can deal with them instead so don't worry if you get PM notification e-mails from barbara instead . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 A ha................that explains it Wonder why they had suddenly changed to Barbara@omlet mid way through the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starboyhull Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Sounds like a great idea.......Always a shame when these spambots ruin forums like this......We had a similar thing on a community website I setup, the activiation emails stop it straight away......

Mrs Frugal Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 We've been pretty lucky here, Karl. The US Omlet forum has had all sorts of very unsavoury postings including obscene photographs posted by the spambots so I tried the admin activation over there first a couple of months ago and it's working really well. Genuine users aren't having to wait more than a day to start posting and the spammers just can't do anything. Gotcha . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starboyhull Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Yeah some of the posts on that forum where a bit I dont think people mind having to wait though as it keeps everyone safe..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Well done Kate....although it sounds like a lot of work for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 It's more work yes, but at least there's not the worry every morning that I'll log in to find some lewd photo posted in the chicken clinic or a link to some dubious site. It's quite a relief actually and it's nice to be able to make sure that I don't miss anyone either as every single new member means an e-mail so no one gets missed. I hope it works anyway and I hope I don't keep anyone waiting too long. Lesley will have the keys to the admin cupboard if I'm ever away or sick so she can take over if necessary too.

craftyhunnypie Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Pants, pants, pants, pants pants!!!! And if it's not pants we talk about it's alcohol, chocolate, poo, chooks & cubes! The force of the superpants is far too strong for most of us Omleteers - may the force of the superpants be with you for a long time Kate!
