Summary 290: Spammer database
Revision 2011-10-11 01:56 by sholzy
Note I understand what you are thinking about. The extra queries at post submission would put a lot of added traffic on the database website especially if you have a busy forum. Most spammers make it into the database after they have done a lot of spamming and flagging and quarantining them at registration would keep them from making any posts.

The mod I used on the old SMF allowed you to check any/all members against the database at anytime and at registration time.
