Guestbook Updates

Guestbook Updates

By Shawn Olson

Posted on 01.07.05

I have further increased the abuse protection on guestbooks. After the last email update which prohibited anyone from collecting email addresses or sending direct mails from guestbooks, there were a couple posts in guestbooks from spammers.

Now all guestbooks have built-in spam protection even for posts. This means that spammers will find it tougher to post non-relevant content in guestbooks.

This does not mean that all spammers will be thwarted--spammers might still get a post through here or there... but it does mean that there will be much less of it.

If you find that anyone posts spam in your guestbook, or if they post using a variant of the words MUGU, MAGA, or GUYMEN... please forward messages to me so that I can further tighten the restrictions on posts.

Anything to bring down spammers! I report all spam and headers to Spamcop dot net. Doesn't help with the guest book but it does make life more difficult for these bottom feeders

Yes, I could not agree more!

I like the site. Very well put together, and I'm glad someone is sticking up against spam. It gets out of hand sometimes.
