Why Can't You Fix The Korean Spambot Problem?
#5
IMO starting multiple threads about the spam isn't very productive (there have been about 8 or 10 threads on various forums) . You think they don't already know there is a problem?
Just my 2¢ . . .

My 2 cents :
Fodors site is outdated.
Has an outdated anti spam system
Fodors has one moderator who can easily remove spam at no cost (marginal).
Fodors is looking at short term solutions. They may be looking at long term solution.
They may be overlooking the fact that some of us might leave.
For info I didn't see any spam on TA yet their security sucked too (believe me on that one) and I am not sure they invested a lot to fix their own issues.
Rick Steves forum is also unaffected.
Spams attack the weakest sites....

Hello!
The Fodor's team is indeed looking for solutions to fix the spam issue. The moderators and I have brought up the suggestion of using captchas, eliminating posts with certain characters in the title, shortening the 300 second rule and even switching to v bulletin up to tech.
However, the tech team has a lot of different issues and projects on deck that also need tending to outside of Fodor's and while this Fodor's issue is of high priority, they are doing their best to get to all of them.
Thank you all for your patience.

Should I send an invoice?>>
yeah, why don't you do that, how egotistical, see which other message boards will pay you for your services. You are on Fodors because it amuses you, the same as most people, it's just a hobby that you enjoy, talking about travel.
