Re: Where does all that spam come from?

Nice one Robert…. I probably should have checked that before posting :)

I do remember seeing a long while back that http://forum.textpattern.com was on a list of forums who didn’t use rel=“nofollow” in their profiles…. which is why people keep trying to spam – they just haven’t updated their lists, or checked their submits

Hi ruud, what you say is very true but shouldn’t the ‘listed’ IP block the registration of the particular user in this forum?

Yes, if the IP was listed at the time of registration. I suspect it wasn’t. I’ve seen spammers register weeks before posting.
