| 486559 | 2006-09-22 02:12:00 | I'm getting alot of entries in my guestbook which looks to me to be spam. (they are polite and nice entries though:) ) I've checked the email address for the site and theres no spam in the inbox or bulk mail folder so what are they after? |

See if there is an upgrade for your guestbook to see if they have any sort of Image Verification If not then you may need to find better guestbook software which does have some sort of Image Verification. I Hope this helps :) PS: a lot of forums on the in internet have the same problem as well :( |

| 486565 | 2006-09-22 11:56:00 | It's a common issue. The stinking spammers buy and use spambot software which invade forums and guestbooks. At least you're aware of the filthy dogs, but in most cases the only cure is to keep a daily watch and manually delete their entries. | Greg (193) | ||

Ok, I'll try removing them for a week and see if it slows down if not I'll have to remove the guestbook. Pity cause I've never been praised so much in my life:D Stu161204, I'd try your way but since I'm new at this i don't know how to go about it so it's easier for me to remove it if it comes to it. Thanks anyway. |
