Guest Postings Temporay Disabled

[martin]

Due to our yesterday switch to SMF forum software we are now forced to temporary disable the posting by guests, as we are again hammered by SPAM.

We will port the anti-spam measures we used for phpBB previously to the forum as soon as possible and re-enable guest posting then. Until then I encourage you to sign up for the forum, it takes almost no time and you can post right away!

Best regards,
Martin

Hi,

thanks for reporting the issue. I have deleted the appropriate account and added words like "admin", "moderator", ect. to the blacklist for new account registrations.
