Install an anti-spam mod - plenty to choose from.

I use http:BL and "stop spammer"

Please be patient when waiting for support.

I have moved the topic to the appropriate board for you.

You do not make it very clear as to what the problem is which you are having.

You allow guest posting and do not use any spam security - it is standard in SMF.

SMF admin menu> Configuration > Security and Moderation > Anti-spam.

There you can set....


1. Guests must pass verification when making a post - checkbox that!

Lower down.
2. Visual verification image to display - set to at least medium difficulty


That should stop most spam. If not, add an extra security question:

Number of verification questions user must answer ... set to 1 etc
Make your question  and set the answers... example ...

" How many letters in the word 'spam?"   (4)
" Type the answer as a number, 3+4=?"   (7)

The mod in question is out of date now being 2.0 RC4

Have a look at the anti spam mod link in my signature.

when i want to removing post made by spammer this error message appeared "Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again."

As I just told you, a mod is not needed... just use the SMF built in spam protection - it is in the Admin menu - see my post.

If that does not stop spam , then try a mod. My site is fine without a mod - I just use the standard SMF captcha images and a security question. It doesnt get any simpler than that.

Wen you registered for an account here you had to "type the letters in the picture".

I can do this but what about my existing problem

In a previous post you state you installed an anti spam mod.

This is the mod I suggested you uninstall.

Please don't pm for support.  Most of the posts on your forum are spam, and I'd guess that most of your members are bots.  If you can't delete the spammer or his posts, your forum may be hacked or otherwise damaged.  I would dump the whole thing - start with a clean install and fresh database, and set up the verification questions (more than one) first thing.

Ashes and diamonds, foe and friend,
 we were all equal in the end.
