spam via Report Link in WSN Links
Posted Dec 14, 2015 - 1:08 PM:

I get emails as a result of someone or a robot at a Russian IP address inserting nonsense text in the Report Link form. I have used the IP Block in the cPanel of my host service in an attempt to block that from accessing my site. I am wondering if others have had similar problem, and if so have yo been able to stop it?

At Admin -> Settings -> General -> Spam Prevention, make sure your selection
is CAPTCHA + Invisble Field Bait.

You could also disallow guests from reporting at Admin -> Members -> Manage
Usergroups -> Guest -> uncheck "Can report links/comments"

You can also block IPs, host names, or cities/countries via the WSN admin
panel if needed. (City/country blocking requires having loaded geolocation:
scripts.webmastersite.net/w...pping/geolocation-542.html )
