Wang Can Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 On my forum a few spammers have been abusing the feedback system, using automated macros to leave hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of falsified negative feedback. Could there please be an option to use captcha in the form? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wang Can Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 I've already mass deleted over 15,000 feedbacks from spammers by SQL queries on the database. They're not regular web spammers, they were done specifically by malicious individuals who wanted to abuse our system since our forum has high trading activity where feedback values play a significant role.

Ok. I'll look at putting an option in to enable ReCaptcha on submissions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
