Hi. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on how to deal with spam
posts in guestbooks. I have multiple web sites that are memorial pages for
murder victims and each morning I awake to a dozen or so of the guestbooks
being inundated with spam overnight. They are usually foreign IP numbers,
posting hundreds of messages with links to everything from online casinos,
prescription drugs to porn. No respect at all.
I try to keep up with it but it is exhausting! I have not had time to clean
them up for the past several weeks, and one guestbook was so overloaded with
spam it literally took a couple of hours to delete it because the page was
too big and responded extremely slowly.
I have finally figured out that changing the hyperlink text color to the
same color as the background at least hides their crap, but short of making
each message be reviewed before it goes online, is there anything I might
do? There are way too many pages to do that and have any semblance of a
real life...
