Hello,

Since a while i got spam every day at my Advanced Guestbook 2.3.1

it's like this:


it's from this host:


The host is not always the same. most of the time it's from .ru (russia) or .pl (polland)

most of the time the poster add an url like this:


the poster use always mozilla browser


I tried to block IP ranges, but i'll think they use proxy servers.
I also tried to block words (by wordlist) but that doesn't help either.

Does anybody have an idea how to stop this?

As I said, i got this spam messages daily and have a lot of work to filter it out. I read more about this problem in this forum so it's a well known problem with advanced guestbook.

If no solution is come soon i have to look out for another guestbook.

thanks in advance!

The installer is also the updater. Or you could just read the thread at the top of this forum.

Is Lazarus better against Bots?
I updated Advanced Guestbook with the simple Human Verification mod but after 1 week spammers are back

Be suprised if spammers get past the human verification unless they are manually entering the spam. Lazarus was built with anti spam in mind and has two layers of invisible anti spam and human verification as an option you can set in the admin section.
