    When we see the spam, we remove it. Thanks for pointing it out - we don't see every post as it goes through the system.

  3. Its still ther[ Go to top ]

    Most of the spam links are still there, and few of them links to porn sites. http://www.theserverside.com/blogs/thread.tss?thread_id=47017#245464 Cant they be just banned, who arent doing any thing other thn spamming the threads. I think TSS doesnt need thm any more like this http://www.theserverside.com/user/userthreads.tss?user_id=768578

  4. Sadly, banning doesn't work.[ Go to top ]

    Could they be banned? Yes. But that doesn't work; it's been tried. They just keep on posting under new IDs, and the maintenance headache just isn't worth it. There are ways around it, of course, and I'm hoping to have them implemented as soon as this remark deleted by TSS' tech staff because we don't allow the author to code on TSS' awful codebase and we feel like making him look bad.

    Wow, that is bad. Any chance of at least getting a simple CAPTCHA in there?

    Yes. There are other ways, too, which I hope to be able to add into the next revision of the TSS platform.
