In an effort to get rid of the bots posting to Josh's Discussion Board, I am trying some board modifications. This may be an experimental process to find the right combination of MODS to get rid of the bots. I have currently installed 2 mods and am looking at various others.

Please send me an email if you encounter any more spam on the board and I will look at other MODS to install to get rid of them. One requirement as a result of the modifications will be that you must have a minimum of 10 posts in order to be to link to a web site in your profile. Also the website option, will not show up in your registration signup page you will have to modify your profile after you have been registered in order to link to a website.

I have also heard of some people having problems accessing the board, I have found the IP Banning not to be a proper solution to this problem and have removed all bans at this point. If you know of a member that was having trouble accessing the board before, tell them to try again. They should be allowed access now.

Looks like we finally got the bots under control, the new modifications to the board seem to be stopping the automated signups and the bots don't seem to be coming back. One fairly annoying problem solved.
