New Spam Checking!

I've implemented Akismet spam checking… the same service that powers Wordpress.

Hopefully there won't be any false positives.

If you find a post is flagged as spam and it shouldn't be send me a PM.

Cheers Leevi

Hi Mike,

Yep that's spam… deleted.

[@kitchensgadget] and [@saladsavage] spam

Thanks! Deleting them now.

More spam from this account, several topics from them https://tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic_id=54909

Didn't there used to be a Report Spam option before TC went down in 2020?

Yep. This forum is the alternative for the rebuild.

Deleted that account. Thanks for reporting.

Just a note to say thanks for this seemingly endless task of keeping this site free of issues and idiots. Very much appreciated.

Thanks for your kind words.

Every. morning starts with a database check for suspicious users. I also get notifications of spam posts which are deleted pretty quickly.

Thanks to everyone who submits the ones I miss :)

Just added a hardcoded list of spam domains that will get automatically banned if posted. Might help keep a few more spammers away.
