Links In Title Box

[fiction-factory]

One of the regular spammers, probably a bot, posts links in the title box. As links don't work in the title box I wonder whether it would be easy to program AB to simply reject a post with just a link in the title box. That way we wouldn't have to keep reporting this spammer who seems to have set up the bot to post when Ed's in bed or at lunch. I realise the spammer may simply change his/her program, but if we put more hurdles in the way they may decide that AB is not a soft touch and may go elsewhere Just a thought.

What's a bot?

I think it just a computer program that sets up new IDs and posts spam at regular intervals

As an extension to this; all spam contains links within the text. Links to YouTube have to be placed in a separate box. If ALL links had to be placed in a separate box, not necessarily the same box as YouTube links, them posts with links in the body of them could be automatically deleted.

Two more spam posts with links in the title box so far this morning

We're still getting quite a lot of spam links in title boxes
