I have disabled the feature that enables people to report a post, I am lucky I have a fairly passive community lol.

Anyway when I go to admin > forum > reports I have to clear entries every other day sometimes 1 sometimes 10 below is the type of entry I get and rarely changes, the Ip is mostly always different so it's hard to just block an IP.

Now it doesn't seem to be creating any problems as such, it's just starting to annoy me I don't want the DB to end up with thousands of these entries, if in fact they do end up there.

The very first time I checked this I would have had about 200 or more of them.

Any ideas and do others have this occurance on there CBB installations.

Hi,

On my site I've done what you have with CBB.

As added security, in Protector 3.04 I've set "anti-SPAM: URLs for guests" in the preferences to a setting of "3".

I've also set Protector's "enable anti-XSS (BigUmbrella)" to yes.

I've not had any "report spam" for a long time with these two settings.

HTH

Thanks John, I will look into implementing what you have done.

Cheers....Darin ;o)
