since a year or so i have to remove spam daily from the myguestbook module (v1.2), but this is manageble.

But since today i also receive the same spam (with the same subjects in anonymous news comments.

I think i dont have a choice but disallow the anonymous comments from my visitors :(

Try a search on spam here - it has come up in discussions on other modules...but i am nor promising an alternative to blocking anonymous - thats what I do.

I'm using XF-Guestbook and had a lot of spam too suddenly.
In version 2.40 there is an option to have a verification code that has to be entered by people who want to sign the guestbook before they can submit their message.
Only problem is that this verification code check doesn't work if you have Protector installed too.

I renamed the file sign.php and also in a couple of other php-files.
Since I've renamd the sign.php file my guestbook is spam free.
Renaming sign.php is probably fooling the spam-bot.

The module Xoops-Stats has an option to block bots.

Maybe you can do something similar for the comments.

@DuGris

Better you this link for SecurityImage 1.5 for XOOPS 2.0.1x and 2.2.x, or not?

Does it work with GIJOE's module Protector??

there are a class and a module. the class is contained in the module.

The module manages elements of the class:
- the number of character of the code
- sensitive case
- backgroup type of image
- .....
- permissions
- download TTF font and image background (jpg, gif & png
- ...


the class and the module work with GIJOE's module Protector
