Sorry, I got tired of SPAM in Classifieds

Other Singer Owners Clubs forums. With the complexities of running a forum and not getting SPAMmed to death, this is the area where other Singer clubs can post their goings on and let me take care of the SPAM. It has been discussed to have country specific sub-forums, so if you want your own, speak to me.

Sorry, I got tired of SPAM in Classifieds

We have been getting hit with SPAM in the classifieds section since it is the only section that I allowed a non-registered user to post something. I did not like that users registered for posting a car for sale and then never came back because they sold the car so I allowed anyone to post. For the first few years it was ok, only one or 2 SPAM messages a month, then about 6 months ago it climbed to 2 or 3 per day, in the last week its been 5 or 6 per day, so I locked out the classifieds section to guests (non-registered users)

Now if only getting rid of the 30-40 spammers that register every day was that easy.
