In order to stop spam we are now restricting posts to Premium members only. Free members can still view the posts just not start new topics or reply to posts. We don't feel it will make any difference to Forum posts as almost everyone posting is a Premium member.

Thank you, Jane. This looks like an excellent solution to an annoying problem.

Completely agree with this.... the spam posts were becoming a huge annoyance.

Excellent strategy!

Excellent idea :)

Thank you, the spam posts are so aggravating. Members pay for the quality content EYB provides, they don't want to be hassled by spammers.

Thanks Jane...I hope this helps with the aggravation that you guys face trying to deal with/delete these posts.  When I see the endless lists some mornings, all I can think of is "ouch, what a pain for Jane!"

I like this idea but now we are seeing spam in replies to Darcie's post.  Ugh!

We have always had spam posts on the blog and we delete them and the poster as soon as we spot them. It may be we will get more now the Forum is closed off to spam but they aren't as visible so I hope not. We will keep on top of those too.

Thanks, Jane - not the end of the problem but a vast improvement.


Hope you never have to resort to blurry captchas!
