    Default The latest idiots who submit to my directories

    Started yesterday and continuing constantly today.
    Idiots who submit to my directories and use a damn spam filter that wants me to click here so that they can see my messages.
    Had about 9 or so, different emails and sites submitted, and it hacks me that people are that stupid to think a directory owner is going to waste time okaying an email address.
    And since they obviously do not get to see the first confirmation email, they will not see the reject email, thus not knowing if their link was accepted or deleted.

    Ok, so much for my little rant.

    Man you've seen nothing yet, there are so many spammers now days and they are coming in full force, you don't want to know how many IP's I ban everyday, it will get worse for you down the road.

    Why do those idiots join forums? Same deal with these guys that submit to your directories!

    Thank God Melanie handles the directory for me now it's up to over 350 submissions a day... and 90% of them are some sort of drug / finance deal that never gets accepted anyways... Spammers = the telemarketers of the WWW

    Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

    I've seen a huge increase in Spam emails in the last couple of months. I used to only get around 50 a day and now I get over 200 a day. I'm sure I delete messages to me when I am do mass deletes on the spam.

    My directories are annoying to me, considering getting rid of most of them. People can do a free/reciprical listing, but they never do! My script is so messed up it lets them submit without recip in their, so I end up emailing them askingf where the recip is...its just more of a headache then its worth. Hopefully when I switch out the script late rit will be better.

    Reciprocal linking is no good for you unless you want your directory classified as a link farm and de-indexed

    Which script are you using currently?

    Try phplinkdirectory. I am using the paid version and it is a great script.
    This is a free version as well.

    Right after the last email I sent out from the forum to our users, I received spam and do so everyday now, nice to know some members would stick my forum email address in their spam list.

    I don't think I did for this account, but I'll try it, I don't find it actually works, I find the boxtrapper works, but I don't want members to have to approve the email.

    Really? Wow it's done wonders for my domains that get hit hard. Some spam still gets through, but my spam has gone down dramatically.

    That's good news. Hopefully it works. I am getting the same one spam email over and over. It's an image, something to do with Christmas.

    You could always setup rules in your email program to get rid of it.

    In Incredimail, I don't know how. I can block people but they always use a different address. I can block subjects, send them to trash I suppose.
