Spam ecard?
« on: August 15, 2006, 05:20:26 am »
I checked the log for sended ecards and I found that since 3 days some people are sending ''spam ecard''.

They are sended by:''play video poker online'', '' free bingo'', ''texas hold em poker'', etc...

Almost 400 ecards like this were sended since 3 days!

Can I do something to stop this? Can I turn off the ecard option?

Thanks
Claude

Yeah, I've had to disable guests ecard sending because of spammers. I hate how spammers end up ruining it for everybody else.

I have the same problem 'play video poker online'' , he spammed my comment directory and ecard on the same time 02.25 our. I banned his IP.

I think that he used a strange script.

I hope that he will work with a one IP.

Banning spammers by IP is futile. Do as suggested and turn off guest comments and apply Akismet and/or Captcha.

Akismet/Captcha don't apply to ecards (yet).

Hi all,

I came up with a Image Verification for ecards mod, and it's now posted in the 'Mods: Emails/Notifications' forum. You're more than welcome to check it out - http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=37635.0
