We have censored a few words to wreck the links of spammers and replaced them with the word "spam" or *********.

For example, if you write f i t n e s s in a post without the gaps between the letters it will be replaced by the word "spam"

So just edit the word

There are a few other words which we might do the same to e.g. skincare

I see that other websites used this device. I found this poem by Patrick Kavanagh


Kerr's ****

We borrowed the loan of Kerr's ****
To go to Dundalk with butter,
Brought him home the evening before the market
And exile that night in Mucker.

We heeled up the cart before the door,
We took the harness inside —
The straw-stuffed straddle, the broken breeching
With bits of bull-wire tied;
 
Hi Paddy

I had not realised that. The name is changed but the link remains live.

OK, I will have another look to see can I disable links for new posters.

Thanks again for that. I found a solution which parks all new posts with links in them for approval.

We have been experimenting with it and it's working well. Very few genuine new users are trying to include links, which was my main worry.

We are still getting a lot of spam with links, but only the moderators see it.

There is still spam without links getting through, but not that much.
