Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

Walter and I have been deleting accounts all day today. For some reason we must have made the list of sites to spam because we have had a number of attempts to create accounts today. If you see any posts plugging cell phones or some other internet spam garbage please let us know. Report the post or the user account so we can remove them.

Will do...got nothing better to do on the oil rig for the next 4 days anyways except sleep and watch TV

Will gladly keep an eye open.... In the meantime, anyone need a cheap cell phone?

My phone was buzzing all night, over 40 more new accounts from 12:00-7:00 this morning

Gotta love those SPAMMERS!!!! Get em Walter.

I think we've deleted more fake accounts and banhammered their IP addresses than we have members, these guys have a ruthless computer that just keeps trying, hopefully the boards will stay free of spam.

If you're a new visitor wanting to register give it a week or so, I have been ruthlessly banning all attempts at registering here with all the fake accounts(over 100 a day), If I banned you by mistake please let us know by email and we will remove your IP from the list, sorry for any inconvenience

Seems to be a common issue - https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtop ... 6&start=45. My forum started to get hit Friday night. If you're using a security question during registration it may help to change that. Otherwise, the prune feature in the ACP is helpful to delete accounts en mass.

We have used a number of different Q&A but seems like A22 and other questions are pretty easy to guess even for the spammers that don't even know what an Axis boat is.. So I think we are just going to alter the Q&A until we can get something that they are not getting. Trying to not make it so hard that a real Axis person cannot get on the board.

I'm using the following format of question. Since I changed it last night I haven't seen any more spam:
