It's a good question. Hopefully stilltt will provide a response.

You are supposed to know the answer as a moderator. But are just passing the buck to Assisitant Admin

that's an alexi question. I am in Frnce until monday but i'll find time to email him bout it. it's a good idea.
I almost cleaned this thread and the OP lol, a good thing I saw NL.

OMG This is even worse . The asst.Admin is passing the buck to Admin


This was already explained to OOAk Forum Owner (& MyTableTEnnis.net moderator) HaggisV many times as to how to fix this issue. He or some other vindictive moderator like Keyshot in OOAK forum just deleted my post.
I even explained to Haggisv as to how he can change the new subscriber confirmation question. He took my advice & changed the confirmation question but never even thanked me .But actually deleted my post LOL
Anyway WebWiz Forums , the software that runs MyTableTennis has identical methods to block spammers from posting. In fact MyTAbleTEnnis.net already has a setup to block new spammer posters to limit new poster permissions. All you need is to extend the permissions to prevent new posters from directly posting immediately , like I am doing now as a new poster.
This is such a simple thing to do . But both Alex’s don’t seem to have a clue.
Anyway below is the post I made in OOAK Forum, that was deleted by that forums.
I try to be helpful but all I get is get punished vindictively.
Oh well

The following was posted in OOAK Forum but was deleted by a moderator
==========================================
I have explained this to you many times but you either don’t understand or just ignore what I am saying.
There is no need to block new registrations.
It is very easy to block spam posts in phpBB forums
All you need to do is cerate 2 member groups
One for established members. You can set permissions so that their postings will appear immediately on the forum without getting blocked
You will create a new group for newly registered users. Their permissions can be set so that their post will not show up on the forum until a moderator approves them.
Once you are confident that a new poster is not a spammer, you can move them to the approved posters group.
It is so simple.
It Is not like OOAk forum or MyTAbleTennis.net forums get 1000s of posts a day . You get at most 5 posts a day LOL
You can easily monitor each post before allowing it to show up on the forum.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,,,,,,,,,,,, Seems like he left. :^)

Note how Hookshot is gloating.
Actually if I am not mistaken, Hookshot is a moderator at OOAK forum.
So based on his gloating, I have to assume he is the one who deleted the posting above that clearly explained how to block spammers
The vindictive nature of Hookshot is pretty sad

All 3 well known German TableTennis discussion forums
1. TT-News
2, Noppen-Test.de
3. Pimp my blade
are run using phpBB forum software.

All 3 above forus seem to be vey good in spam control.

HaggisV , obviously you do not trust the OP (but you will let HookShot and
Matt Pimple to attack him viciously for absolutely no reason but to be vindictive)
Why not ask the admins from the above 3 German forums for help.
I guarantee you , they will say the exact same thing the OP is saying here

Looks like HaggisV finally took my advice and fixed the spam issue on OOAK forum
But no Thanks or anything
That is gratitude for you
But it is OK
No good deed goes unpunished
